A Small Lie About My Art Supplies

Anonymous Unhinged Wolf #149 · General

So I'm an artist who's engaged to a wonderful man. We've been together for three years now and everything is great. But here’s something silly that happened recently: Last week, my partner asked me if we needed anything from the art supply store since they were passing by. I said no because I didn’t want him to know about this one brand of charcoal pencils I’d had my eye on for a while, they’re pretty pricey. So I told him we were good and left it at that. A couple days later, he came home with them as an extra little surprise. It was sweet, but now I feel guilty for lying about wanting them. The truth is, I wanted them enough to say something, just didn't want him wasting his money on me when there are so many other things we could be saving for together. But still... it's a silly thing to lie about! How petty can you get? Oh well, I’m planning to surprise him with some of my artwork soon as a way to balance things out.
