Does hiding something mean lying?

I am sure many of us hide something. You don't tell it to your wife/husband or your friends. You hide it for personal reasons. As a wife/husband, are you totally opened about something. For instance, if you suddenly win something valuable, will you tell it to your wife/husband? A friend of mine gave me a lot of money and I didn't tell this to my wife because I thought I would spend the money myself. What's your take on this matter?

Hiding is not lying , it depends upon what we are hiding.

That's what I want to know about my friend. I sometimes hide something and that does not mean lying to people I hide things from. It will be another story if you hide secret relationship.

Just my personal opinion and it doesn't have anything to do with your own decision. I would never hide something like that to my spouse. I get very excited when I receive money from a friend I would love to share it with my family.
Hiding it means that there's something bad about it. That's just my opinion.

What I was trying to do was that I don't want them to expect the same in the future. It happened once when I got a huge amount and I told my spouse about it. In the next several months later she was looking forward to receiving similar gift. I just want her to think of regular income that I get. But being opened is a lot better. You are right.

@yanzalong Why would you expect that? A gift is voluntary and not an obligation. I think you didn't tell your wife that it was a gift from someone.

That is a delicate subject and many people will offer different opinions. I think that innocent things, for example: telling someone you are taking them somewhere then bring someplace else because you are taking them to a surprise party. Some people don't have guilt about anything-people to stay away from. Basically, honestly is the best policy, if for no other reason, it's the easiest thing to remember.

I might get things I don't share with my family simply because I don't like them to ask me questions regarding the gift. The gift might be given to them without them knowing it where it was from.

Several weeks ago, I got surprise money -- it was a kind of bonus, so to speak. I didn't tell this to my family but the money was, in a way, shared with them. I mean I didn't spend the money for my own benefit only like splurging it.
