这些善意的谎言是可以告诉另一半的
1. The Outfit Compliment
1. 衣服真好看
Really, if your spouse looks like an utter fool, it's probably best you say something to save this person from embarrassment. However, there are many occasions someone might not really "rock" that new shirt, dress, or pair of pants but . . . your spouse loves it! It's best you let your spouse feel good in that fashion choice. Don't say a word, because if you do, most likely, it's going to be the wrong thing!
讲真，如果你的另一半穿那件衣服看起来傻里傻气，你最好还是说些好话避免让他/她尴尬。然而很多时候，他/她穿上了新衬衫、裙子或裤子，但真的不"好看"，而你的另一半却很喜欢！那么你该让他/她对自己的时尚选择感到满意，这才是明智之举。什么都别说，因为你说的话很有可能并不是赞美。
2. When You Hate the BFF
2. 当你讨厌死党时
If your spouse's BFF is a big fat pain in the butt to you, most likely your spouse will see that the two of you don't "jive" well. But if you really can't stand this person, it's advisable that you keep some of your critique to yourself. You don't have to state that you love your spouse's bestie, and, if directly asked, soften the blow with a white lie like, "Well, we're just different people." Trust me, don't mess with a spouse's best friend . . . unless the person is toxic for your spouse.
如果另一半的闺蜜让你很糟心，那很有可能她会知道你们俩相处的并不融洽。但如果你真的忍不了那个人，那么我建议有些批评的话最好还是憋在自己肚子里。你无需表明你也喜欢她的闺蜜，如果别人直接问你这个问题，你可以撒点小谎，缓和自己的语气，"额，我们不属于同一类。"相信我，千万别惹恼另一半最好的朋友……除非这个人会对你的另一半产生不好的影响。
3. A Facebook Request From an Ex
3. 来自前任的脸书好友请求
OK, this is tricky problem here. Number one, don't accept this request. Number two, don't engage in an emotional affair. Now that you heeded my solid advice, here's another thing: don't tell your spouse about this friend request - just delete it! This is information that won't make your partner happy and, also, it is not essential. Just delete the request and go on with your day.
好吧，这是个很棘手的问题。首先，不要接受请求。其次，千万不要精神出轨。既然你注意到了我的可靠建议，还有一件事也要注意：不要告诉另一半你的前任想要加你--删除就行了！这个消息并不会让你的另一半感到开心，还有一点，这完全不重要好嘛。你只需删除这条请求然后继续好好过日子就行啦。
4. A Hot Co-Worker
4. 同事很火辣
We all have our bucket list crushes of celebrities, but if someone in our real-life world is sexy as hell, let's NOT announce it to our spouse! If your spouse asks you outright if you find your co-worker sexy, just say he or she is attractive but not your type. If he or she can see through it, just say seriously, this person doesn't really do it for you. You don't need your spouse envisioning you having an affair with your co-worker.
我们都有一份自己的爱豆目标单，但如果现实生活中，我们身边就有人那么性感呢？千万不要告诉另一半！如果另一半直接问你同事性不性感，你只要回答他或她很有吸引力，但不是你的菜就行了。如果他或她能看穿你，那就严肃一点，说你真的对这个人没有兴趣。你可不希望你的另一半想象自己和同事出轨了吧。
