Mal ,'Serenity'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
But he lied to her!
I know, and while I have an issue with that, I know that sometimes I lie to Joe about some things, too and what he lies to his wife about is not my business nor my marriage, so I try to look at his intentions instead of the whole picture when it comes to stuff like this.
So if she asks you, Aims, if her DH spoke to you will you lie?
but I can't get too rude because it does come out of a place of love.
Some of the worst things that have happened to me have been done by people with good intentions.

In all honesty? I'd probably hedge. This is not the first time that he has called me to say, "Could you call J? She's feeling kind of lonely right now." or "Hey - can you include J in that other thing you're doing with other people?"
I get what he's after, but the more I think about it, the more I'm tired of being put in the place of Social Director for his wife and I'm getting kind of mad about it. There might need to be a Discussion soon about this.

THAT.

Hells yeah. But good things that have happened also had good intentions.
Then Hubs emailed me saying, "Thanks. I really appreciate it. She called and asked me if I talked to you I said no."
FWIW (which probably isn't much, but oh well) I think the person he's lying to is himself. If she called and asked him directly, she totally knows he called you and was just seeking confirmation.
I know that you can't be 100% honest with anyone no matter how much (or because) you love them. Getting you, Aims, into the lie is not good friendery or husbandry.

True that. And you are all correct in that she totally gleaned on to the fact that he called me.
If you're doing something and feeling the need the apologize for it everyday, something's wrong.
Examples, Shir? (I'm not as widely read in general sociology as I should be. I'd like to explore this idea further, if you have papers or similar that you find apologetic.)
Apropos of nothing, happy fifth anniversary to the Civil Partnerships Act in the UK. (And come August, our turn!)
