Yesterday night, my room mate went to chill out with her other friends. Who she went out with is not for me to question. But for the whole night I have been pondering whether she told her bf, who is also my friend. My instinct tells me that she did not.

The next day, her bf come and ask me if she went out. I was thinking should I lie or not. Again, my instinct tells me I should. So I lied to him saying that I have slept already. Later on I told my room mate about it. So she called him to clarify things out. In the end the bf came and scold me for telling her that.

Oh man. Let's analyse the situation. My instincts were based on a women's behaviour towards their bf on clubbing. If a woman goes clubbing without her man, she probably won't tell him about it. Why? Men don't want their women to be touched by other men. In short, men's ego. I am not saying it is bad, but it is something "installed" in them.

I ask and told him many times to just ask the gf himself. I mean, she is someone you are probably going to spend the lifetime with. Why is there something that you cannot ask each other?

So would you have lied or told him the truth? Would you have tell my room mate about this incident?
