10 Couples Share The Little White Lie They’ve Told To Keep Their Partner Happy

“The kids are looking more and more like you every day. She spent 9 months creating each of them inside her womb, enduring sickness, fatigue, and torture, and the little guys came out looking like clones of ME.” — rawbface

“No, I haven’t been letting the stray cat in while you’re at work all day that you said couldn’t come inside. He ended up agreeing to adopt him and let him inside the house a couple months later and was surprised by how well he got along with my existing cats so fast… Had no idea they were already besties.” — FadedAlienXO

“I asked for a cast iron griddle for my birthday. My oldest friend got me a huge one, gave it to me early. My fiancée gave me a smaller one on the day. She was so upset her thunder got stolen, even though it was unintentional. I put them both in the pantry until she’d sorta forgotten, then I pulled out the big one. I told her it was the one she gave me. I cook breakfast on it every day.” — KiwiSuch9951

“Sorry. I’m just on my period. I was being moody and a little rude, I admit. Had a bad day. When she asked me if I was ok, I just blamed it on a period I wasn’t on. Felt awful for being rude to her.” — MidnightComments

“That I enjoy spending time with her parents. The truth is, I do like her parents, and it’s always nice to see them… for a little while. After the fourth day in a row of listening to them bicker about how the forks were sticking up in the dishwasher when my father-in-law knows they’re supposed to be put in with the tines down, I’m ready to go home and sit in total silence.” — urinetherapymiracle

“Our child took their first steps when she and I were visiting my parents a few hours away while my husband was at work. Later that evening, he got home shortly after we did and our daughter took a few steps toward him when he came in the house. He got extremely excited thinking those were her first steps, so I just went with it and got excited too. She’s 14 now. I’ve never told him the truth.” — worthlesscommotion

“I’ve never told my husband what a horrible dancer he is. HORRIBLE. Think Elaine on Seinfeld. He always wants to dance but I usually tell him I’m tired or my feet hurt. If the dance floor is crowded I’ll dance with him but in the middle of the dance floor, surrounded by people. Love that man to death though, he has a million amazing qualities and I’m the luckiest woman alive. Also, I’m pretty sure he could name quite a few things about me that he’s not too fond of…” — Safe_Document_1140

“We live in an area where it doesn’t rain frequently, but when it does, we get a ton of snails. He would get sad because we’d see some snails that had been stepped on, so I told him that they were an invasive species so he wouldn’t feel so bad about them getting smushed.” — Vicious-the-Syd

“My girlfriend can’t sleep sometimes. I told her there is a pressure point on her lower neck that, if pressed, induces sleepiness. When she can’t sleep I will press on it to placebo her to into getting tired and falling asleep.” — Iterations_of_Maj

“My girlfriend hates Dijon mustard. I have a personal sauce that I make for burgers. She asked if it has Dijon in it. I said no. She loved it and I’ve made it multiple times since then. She’s even requested it a few times. (It has a decent amount of Dijon mustard in it.)” — honeybeebryce
