Hmmmm, do you guys do alot of nagging at each other? Not to be unsupportive, more just to calm you, I used to lie about stupid things to my mom just because I felt that to do so was the only way to keep part of myself to myself. See, she is a compulsive nagger. Now, I am generally a person who is pretty honest, ESP about big things. But there is just something about feeling controlled that sets me off. It doens't even have to be something thatis really "control" oriented.
If he is afraid that you will get mad if he tells the truth, he might lie. I kind of doubt from earlier stuff you said, that you need to worry further than the dog's pissing on/pissing off/ getting pissed Sounds kind of damp over ther, in fact!
It's just my ten cents, hon, so kick me if I'm wrong, and huggs anyway.
