SINGAPORE: A frustrated wife took to social media after finding out that her husband had repeatedly lied about his whereabouts so he could work late in the office.
In an anonymous post to popular confessions page SGWhispers, the woman wrote: “Few months back, found out that hubby had been lying about his whereabouts after work. Claimed that he’s on the way home (via public transport) but actually he grabbed home so that he could work longer in office. While giving me the impression he’s on the way home”. She added that when she first found out, she was hurt that he had lied and confronted him. In response, her husband said he did not want to upset her as he frequently worked late. She would always end work on time and end up waiting for him at home. The man then promised he would not do it again and assured her he would try to earn her trust.
“Fast forward, I caught him in the same lie again. This time I was angry and confronted him, asked him in detail why he felt he had to lie about work. He was apologetic, gave me the same reason that he hates to upset me he has to work late. He claimed that he is sensitive to other people’s feelings and he feels stressed if he knows he has to upset people (he’s a people pleaser)”, the woman wrote.
She told him that his behaviour was unacceptable and added that he was just taking the easy way out. “The next day. He told me he was going for coffee with his best friend. This time yes, he informed me where he was going but lo and behold, God wanted to show me that it wasn’t his best friend he was out with but a colleague. What the h*** do I do with my hubby now? He promised me twice he will not lie to me again but he did it again THE VERY NEXT DAY. Now I’m angry and hurt”, the woman wrote.
