I don't think I've done this. I'm always horribly honest.

I never told my second gf she needed to floss bc her gums were so inflamed and nasty. on second thought I probably did. yea that's something I would do, and I don't regret it. I'm literally never dating someone who doesn't floss ever again. the girl I just stopped dating had periodontitis and I am SICK 👏 OF 👏 IT👏

Just white lies. I don't tell my cousin her cooking sucks for instance.

Yes. It wasn’t my place as a young child in my home to tell my mother that I thought my father was cheating. I don’t know how I even knew what I was feeling. No regrets, even though it was a terribly heavy burden for me to carry. I felt cheated on/betrayed myself as a child too, tbh.

Moma and brotha where both in hospital, we told both nothing, we told both each is busy with their shit.

I know this example will sound horrible/unwise, but here it is.

I've had girlfriends without having the capacity to love. I never told any of them that I couldn't love them because I couldn't feel emotions. For two of them perhaps I should have and was just too much of a wuss, but for one of them our whole relationship was basically fine and I would have broken her heart to tell her, and even though I had a hard time feeling emotions and love I wanted to keep her as a girlfriend. We eventually separated for other reasons, and I like the way it worked out. I'm glad I never told her. =P

For me a lie is not the same as withholding info. I am not obliged to tell everything of my life to anybody. When I have a close friend I tell her/him what and if I feel like it. Friendship and love are different from a testimony in Congress or in front of a Grand Jury. There are things in my life, events, feelings, subjects and people that only belong and refer to me. When I get attached strongly to another person I share, but I do not strip naked back to my time in mummies womb. And even a close person might not and must not know some of my very private experiences. There are things that are just my private business and will stay that way. I also do not expect to get a detailed CV of my girlfriend with everything she did experience or thought. And not only do I not need it, I do not want it. Not more what she openly and willingly wants to pass on me. Some women demand a list of all the former lovers and friends and crushes from their partner for instance. That is lunatic and possessive behaviour without respect or love. How can you think you are entitled to be the know all and control all of a friend? That is sad. So keeping things to yourself is sane and good and nobody has the right to know. Love means to share in trust the things that you give as a gift. It does not mean to lemon squeeze a person.
