The lie: "Nothing's wrong. Why do you ask?"
The context: Your partner has just asked what's wrong.
Your motivation for lying: You're in a rotten mood, but it's not about him and you don't feel like hashing over the details.
Why the lie could be lethal: This kind of lie can turn a molehill into a mountain, since your honey will wonder what is so wrong that you can't share it with him.
What to say instead: "I'm upset, but it has nothing to do with you -- and I don't feel like talking about it right now."
That should be a code of life...things would be soo much easier with that...I think I will get a shirt!!
