    so guys, how do they do it?

    my wife always knows when i am lying to her. i have no idea how she knows but no matter how carefully constructed the fabrication, she always sees through it.

    i have to figure out what my tell is.

    It's your facial expressions. That's what I'm told my fault is and I've heard that's what it is with most everyone else.

    So work on your facial expression while lying. Or don't lie. Either way.

    Best not to lie, come out with the harsh truth and then explain it's preferable to lying...at which point you'll probably get permission to lie as much as you want!

    You should not lie to your wife, dude.

    Ok, sorry, I know that sounds self righteous, so here you go:

    you'd think that be the easy fix esp. since i keep trying to get over and it never works.

    i am also glad that you've recognized the lighthearted nature of this thread. it's a little game we play, right now she's ahead 217 to 3.

    i'm really not that bad of a person...or am i? i wonder myself sometimes.

    What I dislike the most is when I tell my wife something, she forgets that I told her, and we end up arguing over whether I told her or not. To end the argument I finally admit that I'm lying about telling her (which I'm not), and she agrees with me.

    Solution: always carry around a digital recorder. That'll end those arguments fast.

    Women are generally better at picking up the subtle signals you accidentally communicate that you're lying with.

    Before anyone calls me sexist... it's true, look it up. Women are generally better at noticing small details than men- hence "nit-picking".

    There's an easy way to prevent this problem!

    Don't get married!
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Already messed up that solution

    A wife has her husbands facial expressions, gestures
    and even the sounds they make studied and catagoried,
    they know if a lie will be coming out of your mouth before
    you even move your lips. I try not to lie to my wife, which
    doesn't always work. She nails me every time.

    Mike, it's probably because when you were dating you told her that you had a 12 inch penis, wrote most of Johnny Cashes songs, became inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame, and ate a 10 pound hamburger with a side of fries in 35 minutes.

    When you two got married, she realized that you were full of it and calls the bluff on you with everything she sees as a lie.
