I relate completely, but I guess it's up to each individual and the relationship they have with others. When I tear up and the wrong individual asks me what's wrong, I'll either say "Nothing" or "Just a temporary chemical imbalance." LOL Of course, women think I'm talking about hormones but men just give me a funny look and go on about what they were doing. Think of it, though. You haven't lied, but you haven't spilled your guts, either.
