I can't stand lies either... if someone lies to me and didn't have a darn good reason for it, they feel my wrath. Have you talked with him yet about why he felt the need to lie to you about it?

As for the question, I don't lie to people I am close to. If its something I don't want to say, I just go silent and then they know the truth from my silence. Sometimes I will just tell them "sorry, I can't talk about that now." If its something that I have the opportunity to hide if I wanted, I probably wouldn't hide it if it was anything that could affect me or the other person. I just don't see a reason to and I hate lies and cover-ups so much I just can't do it.
