Lying comes in myriad shapes and sizes, from the so-called little white lie to the whopper that can end your marriage or land you in trouble with the law.
This is really great advice. I think you are surely a wonderful husband and father. Thank you for answering my tongue-in-cheek question with such sincerity.
"I would probably go with a different outfit tonight."
My wife has never gotten upset with a response like that.
Whenever we are out and about and she sees people wearing clothes that are not flattering for their body type, or are not appropriate for the type of activity, she asks why their friends/significant others don't tell them the truth. The first time I gave that response, it was a gamble, but I have no hesitation at this point. She seems legitimately grateful to have a second opinion the times she is on the fence.
