Is it normal that my love partner tells white lies sometimes?

I'm in love with a girl. I know she loves me, too. There is no problem but I was just wondering if it's normal and ok that sometimes she hides something or tells a little harmless lies. For example, some little things she did with her previous bf. I know I can trust her and she just really doesn't want me to hate her. She has pretty low self esteem and always fears that I would stop loving her if she says or does something wrong.

    It depends. I know a lot of people who have lied about previous relationships. However, people capable of telling little lies often have no problem telling bigger lies.

      Everyone lies daily tho. Whether by omission or flat out deceit. I don't think small lies are a precursor to large blatant ones.

        Not everyone lies daily. Telling your friend you're nearly there when you're not is one thing but lying to your partner about your past isn't good. How could you ever trust them?

          Ok daily may be a stretch but we all lie.

          My wife knows my history but if I didn't want to reveal I don't think it is her business nescessarily. If I was putting her risk that is one thing but someones past is their own personal business.

            Then why not say that? If my boyfriend asked about something I didn't want to talk about, I'd say exactly that.

              I would, but not everyone is secure enough to do that tho so they make up white lies.

    I think we all have our little secrets, but it all depends on the reason.

    All of this depends on what she lies about, man. You haven't told us what she likes about. What does she like about?

    let her be. If she cares about you she won't destroy your relationship. Her telling lies isn't something you have any control over so the last thing you should do is to act suspicious and doubt her. Believe in her. Let her know that she can be honest with you.

    I agree with Rose. What the lies are about is pretty much key to your entire post. How do you fail to mention that? How can we help without knowing?

      Because I don't really seek for help but am just curious. I don't think that there is a problem in those lies but just wonder if it's normal.
