Jezebel
"Don't tell your wife terminal inexactitudes, which are, in plain English, lies. A woman has a wonderful intuition for spotting departures from the truth, and however much she has an aptitude for indulging in them herself, she scorns the male who utters them. Lying to her is a sign of weakness and weakness in a man she regards as a crime."— From a 1930's guide to marriage, How to be a Good Husband, originally aimed at middle class British couples; now being reprinted and redistributed.
