I don't agree with the "It's a lie". Yes, I suppose it's a lie, but that shouldn't be a reason to not do it. I can understand why she would want to lie about that because it saves everyone face and you don't have to have people teasing you. Problem averted, and nobody's hurt by the lie.
I think it's also a slight hyperbole to equate a person telling his significant other about an affair they had and telling some one they didn't cause the small dent in the front of their car.
