About twenty years ago I have up lying to the wife about anything. This was roughly 6 years after we were married. I warned her, I really did and I was specific about things that might upset her. I gave her the example of how clothes fit or her weight, if she doesn't want to know the truth don't ask. Honestly it has been a dream these past twenty years. She asks, I answer truthfully, we move on. I did learn early on that telling her she looked tubby was a bad idea, so I would say something like you clearly have put on weight and need more exercise instead. It worked well.
Today I ran into the first glitch. She asked me what yarn to use for a sweater she is knitting. I don't know shit about yarn but I was honest about the colors. I responded that 99 percent of the time the colors women pick for anything they knit is god awful. When I look at most of the patterns and the colors chosen they look dirty before they are even put on. She gave me the old yarn that those colors are in style now. I think I was being tactful because what I really wanted to say is for gods sake look at the pig wearing that thing in the picture, do you really want to take fashion advice from her? Real fashion is timeless and they look like they have never worn anything but horseshit fabrics in godawful colors ever in their lives.
So is this me getting old and being a pussy or was I still tactful in my delivery. I honestly have no idea.
