Is it okay to lie to your spouse?

[High Spy]

(I couldn’t lie to my sweet wife, even if I wanted to.)

Sounds like a line from a song.

Probably more PC than LipLock on my Love muscLe.

Huh? Never heard of that song. Yikes.

If you hide the carrot cake under the chicken and plain greek yogurt, is that a lie or simply good organizational skills?

True. My mum likes carrot cake. I'm not a cake fan. I like bombay bad boy pot noodles.

I guess I’ll be the tie breaker. I don’t think you should lie to your spouse. Out of all the people on earth, you should be able to trust it should be your spouse and parents. And, I hope everyone has a loyal friend whom they can trust and who will tell them the truth no matter how hard it is to hear.

I think specific scenarios would be needed to fully nail down my answer but generally I think I'm firmly in the "no" camp.

The term lie in the question is pretty loaded. I'd say I generally assume that a lie comes with some malicious intent. Sure there are topics or things I might want to put off discussing for a more appropriate time or after I've had time to process. I might hold off voicing an opinion on something if it honestly doesn't matter to me and I feel my response might be deflating or negative. I might even err in relaying information... none of those rise to what I would classify as a lie.

I think this is very well put. I would be inclined to agree with this.

My husband lied to me for 10 years. It still bothers me but what can I do? He doesn't care.
