Sometimes, women may resort to telling small white lies to their boyfriends in an attempt to avoid unnecessary arguments or conflicts.
These lies may seem effective, not because their partners genuinely believe them, but rather because their partners choose not to engage in an argument.
“He’s my best friend/ we’re just friends”
Sometimes women may find themselves in situations where they have close male friends, and while they genuinely value the friendship, they are mostly aware that their male friend might have romantic intentions.
When their partners express concerns about the closeness between them and their male friends, women may defend their friendship, often downplaying any potential romantic interest.
They may claim that they are friends, knowing very well that these friends are potential rivals to their partners.
