here is a common White Lie: " are you listening me?"
Why is that question a lie?
Greetings,
LOL!
It could be because they are not saying anything??
Most of the world view today is about the lack of communication; by the assumption that we know what they mean, like mind reading...and stuff like that.

I think it depends some on how long you've been married. Years ago I would have been devistated if he said ANYTHING in any way negative. But now I need his honest opinion (key word here - honest). We're heading toward year #29 now and we both have matured enough that we know the other is trying to help, not hurt. We tell each other if there is a bad breath or any other odor problem, a clothing issue or anything that makes us less than what we see as each others best. It's tuff enough to see things the way others see you and if you can't rely on your spouse you're in bad shape. Naturally the tone you use can cause a problem, but if you're responding to the person you love wouldn't you want to say it in a nice way anyhow?

sorry, poorly written response. The statement isn't the lie, it is the answer to this question that is. Usually, the answer is a "uhhuh" followed by "then what did I just say?"
I can get caught in that one. I heard what m'love was saying but not paying enough attention to repeat it back. He uses this technique when he thinks my mind is wandering. gotta love 'em.

Thanks for the clarification. I didn't quite "get" it because when I ask my dh if he's listening to me, often he'll come out of the fog he's in and say, no, I'm sorry, can you repeat that? He admits it when he hasn't been listening!
