I think people lie when they feel it's the best thing to do.

I told my wife I dressed for the first five years of our marriage and then stopped while our children grew up.
I said after 18 years now the children have moved out, and due to lack of sex drive due to manapose CD-ing has come back!

Basically my lie is I told her that I only had a few dresses not 200 and I didn't even like CD-ing!
If she didn't freak out, I would ha told her the truth! Well at least I think I would have.

Some people don't want to hear the truth!
