and I feel horrible about it...

Don't worry...I didn't sleep with anyone else or have a horrible gambling addiction. 

I lied about smoking.  I told her I wouldn't and I did.

Then I got caught.

She's pissed as she has every right to be.

Every bone in my body wants to defend my right to smoke.  It's not like I smoke every day...I smoke MAYBE once a month.  But at the same time, I do realize that I'm lying to my wife about it.

Talk about swallowing a bowling ball.
