If he's lying to his wife who else is he lying to?
Humans always lie, there was some data showing it’s about 0.75-1.5ish per day (I don’t remember exact thresholds but you can think of it like one per day).
It might actually sustain civilized communication and behaviour, e.g a small lie to not hurt someone’s feelings.
Of course this level of deception in a marriage is worse, but it’s naive to think anyone is entirely honest.
