My daughter is staying with me over the half term
and we had a conversation yesterday about lying. We have two relatives who routinely tell quite big lies. We think it's attention seeking, trying to deflect blame for bad behaviour. Some of the lies are huge and yet none of the family challenge these two. Is it because we are embarrassed or we don't want to embarrass them? My husband who was listening tells me men do this a lot but not about such serious issues. Mostly about how much they earn/ success with women that kind of stuff. We agreed that we often embellish stories mostly to make them more interesting. My daughter thinks harmless flirting on a night out is very different from down right lies. So why do we let the big lies go unchallenged are we both cowards by not confronting the lies ?

Nice one, absent! 
The "someone" I know is a very good person. cathybee
I wouldn't let a few white lies spoil an otherwise good relationship with your DH. Especially if he does it in order to protect your feelings and keep on your good side.
Absent I'm curious where you found that information about Wyatt Earp?
