Why would your husband tell white lies?

Answer 1

Usually lies are said in relationships because either the person feels guilty for what they did, or they are trying to compensate for something they feel is lacking. However white lies, which are lies that are meant to be harmless, can impact a relationship greatly causing a great deal of mistrust. Your husband probably just doesn't know how to explain himself and is fearful about how you may react, so he tweaks the information to make himself look better, or more the 'victim', depending on the angle he's trying to play up with the lie. Simply confront him about the lying and stay calm and confident. He'll get the picture and the white lies should subside.
