I can’t speak for all men, but I can speak for myself and other male friends. I was in a relationship with a woman and I could never be alone again with my family, my friends or just by myself. She thought it was so strange that I just wanted to take 5 minutes to drive to the gas station and fill the car up. She would say “we can do that while we were going out somewhere.”
When we were with my friends or family, I had to watch everything I said. I couldn’t be ME around them. She would be embarrassed if I was with my friends in college and we reminisced. She didn’t want to know any of it but at the same time I could not ever be alone with the people who cared about me. I was on my best behavior around her friends but around my friends I should be able to be ME. I should be able to discuss who I was and who I am today. This is just my experience.
Today I am retired from relationships, however I have male friends who are like “don’t tell my wife I stopped by.” Also I have male friends who once in a blue moon will tell their wives they are going to work a little late but actually have a drink after work. I mean just one drink and then rush home.
My male friends are very reserved when their women are around and the few times they are alone they are more relaxed and can say whatever without it coming back to haunt them.
I think it is okay for a man to lie to a woman if it prevents her being mad and/or just disappointed for a few days. If we tell the truth, we just get into trouble.
This is just my experience and the experiences of the people I know.
