I have been getting Botox for years. I also go to a tanning salon pretty regularly. I've gotten eyebrow tattoos and fake eyelashes (the kind that stay on for months at a time). I have lied to my wife about all of this always. If she ever asks about me looking different, I make up some other excuse for it. I didn't feel guilty about this, but now our kids are getting older and my daughter, especially, who is now six is asking me questions about changes in my physical appearance. So I am lying to her now too. Is this bad?
