Are you aware of these 14 lies that women tell their husbands?

Most women definitely have more layers than an onion. Their truth unfolds gradually. They don’t always mean what they say and neither do they say what they want to many-a-times; so, husbands need to read between the lines, understand what’s unsaid and say or do things that haven’t been asked for. However, as we take a look at the lies/white lies that women tell, you’d know that sometimes these lies are harmless and playful and are told for the sake of their partner’s happiness (or to avoid everyday drama XD). Let’s discover what she might be lying about and why.

"It wasn’t that expensive!"

This is one of the most common ones. She goes for a manicure/pedicure/massage or for shopping and maybe it’s not very cost effective but yes she needs it from time to time to relax herself and it’s hard to neglect feeling pampered. So, would she tell you how much the self-care (which was therapeutic) exactly cost her? Some tell, some modify the figures and some lie about it and save money in other ways. But isn’t it all worth in the end when they look beautiful?

"Tell me the truth, I won’t be mad."

Obviously, no one wants truth to be hidden from them and when she’s so eager/concerned/anxious about knowing what happened she might as well react, in case she doesn’t like what she heard.

"I don’t want anything for anniversary!"

Now, this is exactly where she might be testing you or not being demanding because she wants you to gift her something nice without her asking for it. Gifts, big or small, will remind her and assure her of how special she is to you. Any relationship takes many kinds of investments from emotional to financial.

"You’re looking handsome!"

Women feel bad when they are commented on shortcomings regarding their looks and they know that men can be significantly conscious about their looks too, if not as much as women. When she notices you getting really conscious about your looks in general or after you tried a new look and tells you that you look good, she does it to comfort you and to boost your confidence even if you aren’t looking your best because to her your happiness means a lot. Also it’s said, that nothing gets so easily wounded, as a man’s ego, so she says so to make sure you feel good about yourself.

"I love this sport/movie!"

Just to see that smile and excitement on your face, she sits with you and watches your favorite sport/movie. She lies but just to see you happy, and in most cases you know that she is doing it only you.

"I love your friends/relatives!"

Every, family or friend circle comprises of a few people who are hard to get along with. When she says she loves them even when they might not be as lovable, she is trying to get along with them to make you and your friends/family feel accepted.

"I don’t know anything about gardening!"

This is a tricky one. She says she doesn’t know anything about it, but she might just know too much. Hiding chores she’s efficient at is her strategy for keeping additional tasks away from being included in her everyday responsibilities.

"I don’t understand your mother tongue!"

Are you sure she doesn’t understand the language you converse in when talking to your mother because she is from a different cultural background? Well, you might want to check that because maybe she understands everything and is not telling you about it. She might do this to have fun, to tease you or to know what you say about her when you talk to your mom.

"You cook so well."

Are you wondering that she complimented you after a long time? Women are generous and if she is appreciating and praising the food you cooked for her, even if it’s not so exotic, she is trying to tell you that more than anything else she acknowledges the efforts you put in. Appreciation is her way of encouraging you to do more of something.

"I am not feeling like taking another serving!"

Do you know she overheard you commenting on a dress she was looking a little healthy in? Maybe not, but she got offended, hurt and upset. So, she set a new goal, decided to go on a diet and not really tell you or make it obvious. You kept wondering how and when she got back into shape.

"You already do a lot for me. It’s okay!"

So, you were supposed to pick a few things up from the grocery on your way back home but you didn’t because you weren’t feeling like and even though it bothered her she let it slide to avoid any drama.

"We just had a normal talk"

One of your close family members said something that hurt her and she didn’t bring it up so that she doesn't end up offending you. Maybe she knew you would understand but to avoid any sort of negativity entering the relationship she didn’t tell you what really happened.

"It’s okay!"

You did something that hurt her but she said, "It's okay" probably because she doesn’t want to bring it up and make you feel guilty.

"I'd love to go to Switzerland!"

She hates cold places and you love them, but she said yes for the trip because she understands and cares about what you want too.
