Do you lie sometimes to your husband that you help your family?

I can see that there are lots of wives lie their husband because they didn't want to argue about helping their family. Sometimes, when my brother asked me about small money as his allowance, I didn't tell my husband about this because I know that we argue about this. How about you?

I dont lie or should I say I avoid lying to my husband.Everything I do Im telling it to him for a reason that I want the same attitude from him. But most of the time he was the one lying on me when it comes to extending financial help to his family which really really pissed me off. I mean whats the point of hiding such matter between him and his family since Im a family also. its not a good practice for a married couple. Lying is a sign of disrespect and untrustworthy.

Hello ally. Yeah, i know that lying is not good habit but it's called fear but now, i'm not lying anymore because I know it's really annoying in the part of my husband if he know.That's why I told him yesterday before he know everything. Well, thanks for sharing your comments with us and have a nice day AHEAD. Godbless

Yeah, there might be other people who lie to their partners about helping their families, but I don't think it's a good idea. If your husband finds out that you'd been doing that behind his back, it might actually lead to greater dispute. If you have a good valid reason for doing that, then why not tell your husband, that actually worked for me. I told him that when we marry I'd still be helping my parents and be giving them allowance from the money I earn, and he was totally fine with it. Just explain to your husband why you did so, than keeping it from him.

Hello desertsong..Yes, you were right and yesterday I told my husband about this matter because he is in the good mood and you know what? He understand because I have fear to him that's why I don't want him to be worried. Thank God, because he is supportive that's why I'd love my husband more more.. Well, thanks for sharing your comments with us and have a nice day AHEAD. Godbless

I do not lie to my husband. I feel that if there is something that I feel strong enough about in order to help my family then he should support me and he does. Just like with his family. It does not always mean that he agrees with it all but he does support me. If it is something that is not important then we will consider it a bit more. But if you are married then it is a partnership and you both have say and should support each others decisions unless it is damaging to you or your husband/wife.

Hello lisa..Good for you because you didn't lie to your husband at all. It sounds good and thanks anyway. I felt today when I read your comment that it is better to tell our husband what is going on so that he didn't felt insulted and who knows, he is willing to help my brother.. Well, thanks for sharing your comments with us and have a nice day ahead. Godbless.

I don't think there is anything wrong of helping your family behind your husband or even tell your husband that you want to help out your family because your family should be your husband's family as well since you are married to each other.

Hello mermaidivy..You were right. It's my fault because I don't want to argue this matter to my husband because I ashamed but I was wrong. You are correct that my family is my husbands family aLSO. Don't worry, starting today, all my transactions about giving money to my brother is not really secrets at all. I need to inform first to my husband about this matter before I give it to my brother.. Well, thanks for sharing your comments with us and have a nice day ahead. Godbless.

Well I do not care if my wife will give some amount to help her family in the same manner that she will not argue with me if I do the same... If we have our own salary we have the freedom to spend it.. We are obligated to give help to our parents or families... But if the amount is too big in such a way that it becomes a burden or that in so giving it affects greatly your family budget thus having effects on the needs of the family or the children.. then it becomes an issue. If that is the case then it should be discussed with your partner.. Giving support to one's family is not bad but it should not greatly affect the family.. It should be balanced.. because if it's not then your family will suffer which is also unfair to them..

Lie for good trust. Some condition may us to lie, of course for making a good condition such as "great! you cooked well!" to wife. If you can, find another way to stop the cause that make you lie. Giving a more profitable job to your brother might help.

Hello lutphie. I think you were right but sometimes, I can't help it but to lie to my partner because I know that I can help to my family. I know it is not good because I lied to my partner but I have no choice. I want to help my family. That's all. Well, thanks for sharing your comments with us and have a nice day ahead. Godbless..
