I have a (weird?) thing about lying to or being lied to by my SO. If I ever found out he did something like this, I would rage. Seriously. If something is not innocent enough for you to tell your SO where you are going, why do it? If you think that your SO would not condone your behavior either because s/he would be irrational or because s/he had reason not to condone it, isn't it important to communicate about that stuff?
Anyone?

Because nobody needs to know everything about anyone, ever. Because sooner or later, we all have secrets. Because it isn't worth ending a relationship built over years over something that occurs over hours.
And no, I'm not saying I have lied to/cheated on my wife. Nor am I saying that I haven't. I'm not confessing a sin, bragging about a conquest, or trolling for a date with Less. All I'm saying is that after having been with someone for about as long as some of you have been alive, I am willing to admit that there's a lot more gray in the world than there is black or white.
