Is misleading your spouse fraud or tact?
When their marriage of more than a decade in divorce, Anaheim banker Ronald Askew sued his ex-wife for fraud because she admittedly concealed that fact that she has never felt sexually attraced to him. On wednesday, an Orange County jury agreed, and ordered Bonnette Askew to pay her ex-husband $242,000 in damages. "I'm astonished by this verdict and i've looked at the divorce in 62 societies," said Helen Fisher, an american museum of natural history anthropologist who authored the recent book Anatomy of love: the natural history of monogamy, adultery and divorce. Bonnette asken, 45 acknowledged in court that she had never been sexually attracted to her husband. But she said she always loved him and noted that their marriage was not sexless and that they has two childern together. She first admitted her lack of sexual desire for him during a joint therapy session in 1991. "Iguess he confused sex with love" bonnette askew said, adding that she concealed her lack of desire because she "didnt want to hurt his male ego". But Ronald askew, 50, said his lawsuit has more to do with honesty and integrity than sex. He felt deceived, especially because he said he repeatedly asked her before their marriage to be honest with him and reveal any important secrets. If ronald askew belive total honesty is the foundation of good marriage, fisher has a message for him: "grow up." "Since when is anyone truly honest with anyone?" Fisher said. "Did this man really want her to say: you're short, fat and you're terrible in bed? Much of the world is amazed at what they see as brutal honesty in america. She was operating on an entirely different set of social values, which much of the world operates on delicacy as opposed to brutal honsty"

In general, discussing whether either party is justified in misleading their spouse depends on the specific circumstances and context. It is important to consider factors such as intention, motivation, and the potential consequences of the actions taken.
Benevolent lies, silence, equivocation, or hinting are all forms of communication used to avoid disclosing potentially hurtful words. Each of these alternatives has its own effects:
1. Benevolent lies: These are lies told with good intentions to protect the other person's feelings or maintain harmony in the relationship. They can temporarily alleviate tension or avoid conflict, but in the long run, they may erode trust and create a false sense of reality.
2. Silence: Choosing not to disclose certain information can be seen as a form of deception, as it withholds important details that the other person should know. While silence can be used as a strategy to avoid hurting someone, it can also lead to misunderstandings, assumptions, and a lack of openness in the relationship.
3. Equivocation: Equivocation involves using ambiguous language or vague statements that allow for multiple interpretations. This can be a way to provide some information while still avoiding direct communication. However, it can also lead to confusion or frustration if the other person misunderstands or realizes the lack of clarity.
4. Hinting: Hinting involves subtly suggesting or implying something without explicitly stating it. This form of communication heavily relies on the other person's ability to pick up on subtle cues. While hinting can be an indirect way to communicate sensitive topics, it also runs the risk of misinterpretation and may not effectively address the underlying issues.
It is important to note that the impact of these alternatives can vary depending on the individuals, their culture, and the specific circumstances of the situation. Communication in relationships is complex, and open and honest dialogue is generally considered crucial for maintaining trust and resolving conflicts effectively.
