Talk About Marriage - View Single Post - Truth be told: When it’s OK to tell a white lie

My wife knows what will happen if she asks if a dress suites her. Or even a haircut. I tell her my true feeling. I put it as well as I can of course. In the past with some haircuts, I have said things like - I need a few days to get used to it, or give it a couple of weeks to grow in...

But I swear, If she got a really bad haircut that just ruined her looks, I would send her back to the barber. Because I know it just kills her if she thinks she looks stupid, and she does not find out 'till after the party or social function or whatever.

She still asks my opinion...
