I’m a dumb dumb and I don’t know why I do it, but occasionally I’ll say things like “need to lose this belly fat or I’ll never hear the end of it from the wife”, or “can’t tonight boys the wife says no”. These are lies. She said no such things not even close. She’s amazingly supportive, like she tells me to take care of myself at my own pace, and spend time with the boys whenever I want. I can’t give you a good reason for saying these things. I told her I do this, and she got very upset with me. She suggested I should just make jokes about how amazing she is instead but that doesn’t work. I know it’s not good, but how bad is this foolishness? Edit: Our relationship is a forged by fire type thing where we helped each other overcome hardship, and I say so many good things about her to people that I cringe at it. These jokes/lies have happened under a handful of times. submitted by /u/AccountantOk8438
