We all know communication and honesty are crucial to a healthy relationship... but we've also pretty much all lied to our significant others at some point. Ten percent of people say they've lied to their significant others more than anyone else, and one in three admit to lying to their partners about money.
From the silly ones they got away with to the major ones they regret, here are some fibs women confess that they've told their S.O.s:
"I've never told my fiancé that I was actually in a relationship when we first started dating. I was contemplating breaking up with my then-boyfriend but hadn't before our first date together! That's just a detail he will never need to know." —Jodie
"When my ex-boyfriend had asked me the exact number of men I had slept with, I cut the number in half. I also never admitted to my ex-husband that I had been involved with a certain famous legendary actor a few years before I met him. He asked me about it (I think he suspected), but I blatantly denied it several times. I didn't want to count myself among the statistics of young women who had fallen for his charm, but I also didn't want to deal with another issue of insecurity and doubt in my relationship." —Alex
"That I was ready and comfortable with having sex with her early in the relationship." —Ali
"I told my husband I had slept with eight people before him. I'd actually slept with many more. What can I say—I love sex!" —Samantha
"That I did not completely enjoy sleeping with another couple. Experimenting with another couple was something he'd wanted to try, encouraged, put into motion, and immediately regretted when he saw me with the other man. I had to tell him I didn't enjoy it as much as I did in order for him to not feel betrayed." —Mandy
"The biggest lie I told my significant other was 'yes' to a marriage proposal. I was terrified to get married and always felt suffocated." —Jewell
Have you ever lied to your S.O.?
