Relationship Lie #8: My favorite shirt you got me ripped, so I had to throw it out.
The truth may be that you think it's ugly, and you won't ever wear it, so there's no sense in keeping it in your closet. Telling him that you threw it away because you didn't like it would hurt his feelings. However, telling him it ripped or was stained beyond repair gives you a perfectly good reason to throw it out without damaging his self-esteem.
Relationship Lie #9: That shirt is so sexy. Wear it only for me.
The truth is it looks like something your grandpa would wear, and you don't want him leaving the house in it. Instead of telling him he looks ridiculous, you make him feel good about himself and still keep him from leaving the house in it.

Relationship Lie #10: Do these pants make my butt look big? You can tell me; I won't get mad.
This lie is only OK to tell if you don't get mad at him. While you may not like the answer, if he says that it dos make your butt look big, you cannot express anger over his answer.
If you can't control your reaction when he says that you don't quite look the way you would like to look, it's better not to tell this lie.
