I have not knowingly lied but I have omitted information. When I have come clean T has taken it really well. He assumes that if I have misled him or omitted something that I just didn’t feel safe enough at the time to give him all the information. One of my omitions is kind of an ongoing joke with us at this point... T is an animal lover but doesn’t really do indoor pets... I live on a farm... T wants to know how many cats I have... I consistently refuse to answer

So... now he tries to slip the question in when he thinks I will answer it without thinking and I respond with something like “all of them”. We both laugh.
