A female United States age 22-25, *niks writes:

its been like 1 year for my marriage and now for few months i have come to my moms house for some work and i talk to my husband daily over phone and we chat online also but sometime he lies to me. Like, if i ask him what are you doing now he says nothing, whenever he is on computer he never tells me that i am sitting on pc and checking mails he can tell me that i have no problem with that, but i come to know that he was sitting on pc and why do he has to lie to me? why dont he straight away tell me that i am checking my emails? he will say either "i am doing nothing or i am watching tv" why will i have problem if he checks his email? but why dont he tell me that? i dont know what should i do so that he tells me the truth..

QuirkLady agony auntHe's not lying to you. When he says "nothing," he means "nothing important." I suggest that you stop worrying about this because it is so small in the grand scheme of things. Sheesh!

petina1 agony auntDoesnt the internet cause lots of problems now. If it was me being a bit suspicious i would do some prying into the emails or the history or put a key logger on to the chat rooms. But hey, that's just me. Then if there was nothing to show up i would feel so guilty but relieved that I have nothing to worry about. But if i did find something out that I didnt want to see then there'd be hell on. The bottom line is trust. Do you pry? or do you leave it alone and trust your man? All im saying is, there is ways to find out things if you are suspicious but at the end of the day it could also blow the relationship apart. If you want to see what he's doing there and then, get a web cam.

Lola1 agony auntWow. When he answers that he is doing nothing, it means "nothing worth discussing."

You sound suspicious. Like you're LOOKING for something to be upset about.

A better question would be: Why do you need him to disclose every mind-numbing detail?

Cerberus agony auntPerhaps he says that because he doesn't want to get into a discussion about menial things.

My girlfriend calls me up quite often too and in the beginning of our relationship she'd ask questions like "what are you doing now? what are you thinking about? doing anything interesting?" and other conversation fillers on the phone, personally I find that a waste of time.

I love her and love hearing about her day but not useless small talk for the sake of talking while I'm doing something else. To be honest I don't find checking my e-mails interesting enough to get into a protracted conversation about it on the phone, perhaps he's the same.

I prefer to be there with my girlfriend to talk to her about meaningless stuff, phones are too impersonal. I've explained this to her and unless she has some news or wants to tell me something or find out something then she doesn't call just for the sake of talking about nothing. It's a waste of time and money, especially seeing as we live with each other.

eyeswideopen agony auntMaybe he thinks if he says he's on the computer you'll think he was surfing porn sites.
