The only time it should be acceptable for one’s partner to lie is when they’re planning a surprise party or gifts. Unfortunately, folks often tell little white lies to their significant other even if there is no need to do so, which can obviously cause problems if they’re caught being dishonest.
This is what happened to one couple because the man kept pretending not to know where the long hair strands his wife was finding in their bathroom had come from. Eventually, she got suspicious and tricked him into revealing the truth.

Ever since the OP began discovering long hair strands in her bathroom, she began to wonder if her husband was cheating on her or if something more sinister was afoot. She knew that the hair couldn’t be from either of them since he was bald and she had a pixie cut, so she couldn’t imagine where they kept coming from.
When a person starts getting suspicious of their partner, relationship experts advise first taking a step back from the situation and calming oneself down. It’s important to list all the facts or reasons for suspecting a loved one, so that this can then be brought up to them in a careful manner, and it won’t lead to conflict.
This is exactly what the woman decided to do, and she confronted her husband about it in order to see what his explanation would be. Unfortunately, he only shrugged the situation off and later on said that it must have been her hair in the bathroom, which confused the OP even more and didn’t diminish her suspicions.
When a person keeps dismissing their significant other or gaslighting them like this, psychologists share that it’s usually a red flag that people need to be wary of. This could make the other partner start doubting themselves and feel like their emotions aren’t being taken seriously.

Eventually, the woman decided to see exactly what her husband was up to during the day, and she took time off from work to secretly go home. That’s when she found him making tea for another man and confronted him about it. This led him to reveal that he had been helping his friend, Dave, out for a while.
His friend had been evicted, lost his job, and had to start couchsurfing, so the OP’s husband had invited him over to take a shower before interviews . Obviously, the woman must have been glad that her husband was helping out someone else, and not cheating, but she was also shocked by how much he had hidden from her.
It’s possible that the man had just planned on keeping a small lie from her, but as time passed, it spiralled out of control. That’s why professionals advise not to keep things from one’s partner, and to try and open up to them, even if it’s tough, especially if there is something that you are worried about.
Luckily, the man was able to finally come clean to his wife, and she accepted his explanation. She also felt relieved that he was helping out a friend and not having an affair, so she asked him to invite Dave to stay with them till he could manage things better in his life.
What do you think about the husband’s explanation, or do you feel there’s still something amiss in his story? We’d love to hear your thoughts on this situation.
