Lying by omission? Any thoughts?

Well its asks the question why has he been secretive about it and not open and honest ?

I think there is more to this than what has been said. What else has he not told you ?

Trust is important in a relationship and if you are put in a situation where you are doubting how honest your partner is with you then you have a problem.

Norwich is not on the way home - its a long detour, by the time he gets to norwich he would of almost be able to drive to lincoln.

Well in a way, I can see why you are cheesed off and to be fair, I think I probably would be too. On the other hand, it could have been a lot worse. He could he stopping at a womans house, then you'd have real cause for concern, but if he has to go past his mates anyways, then there isn't really a problem is there? Just so long as this/these mates are not female, then I shouldn't worry about it too much. Why not go out whilst he is away or something with your girly friends, see what he says to that, give him some of his own medicine. :)

No not lying, but deceptive. Perhaps the conferences are in London. Perhaps his company is too mean to pay for his overnights. Perhaps they do, and he pockets that money and then stays at friends. Or maybe, he thought he'd get the 3rd degree.

What about if you needed to contact him in an emergency. Mobile phones aren't always reliable. I'd say, deceptive and thoughtless, but not lying.

he has no reason to not tell you that he stopped off on his friends house on the way back... sorry hun but Id be suspicious with him neglecting to mention this fact... are these friends of his female by any chance?

xx

Mmmm, is this 'friend' female by any chance?

If not, why would he hide it from you. You wouldn't mind if he stayed with friends, so why all the secrecy?

he didnt divulge the information

ergo he IS lying by ommission

so if you dont actually tell your husband you spent $10,000 it means it didnt happen or its ok?

so if you dont tell your husband you slept with a football team in one night it didnt really happen?

nah, he is guilty as charged

So he is visiting an old girlfriend and doesn't want to tell you, be happy. What you don't know won't hurt you.

Yeah maybe you two just need to talk more with each other. I think that would help.
