- Omitting information isn't lying - so if asked 'what did you do today' and you answer 'went to work' but skipped the part where you went to a bar/robbed a bank/hired a hitman that wouldn't be a lie
- Unless you're asked the exact right question it's not a lie to deny it. So if i ask you if you spent £250 in a bookies but you spent £250.50 then denying it isn't a lie.
- Promising to do something you have no intention of doing 'for an easy life' isn't a lie.
For context, DH and I are separating (amicably - both too young, shouldn't have got married yada yada) and we both think the other will have a hard time finding someone who subscribes to the others definition of lying.
DH thinks the above are fine, I think they're lies. Who IBU?
