--- Quote from: Mr Intrepid on 23 Apr 2019, 21:17 ---I don't think it's an issue of Faye being dishonest.
--- End quote ---
You really think so?
Marten: She wants us all to come out for drinks tonight. How about I offer our place instead?
Dishonest answer:
Faye: No, no, it's fine. I can handle bein' in a bar.
Honest answer:
Faye: No, no, it's fine, but I may need some help with this.
It seems so out of character for her to decide to hide this from Marten, of all people.

Sometimes, you just don't want to be the party killer, or the one who always need some help, or simply you don't want the attention focused on you.
Meander:
Serious discussion aside...Bubbles' fitnesswear has been getting skimpier. This is a pleasing development.
Tova:
I give up.
cybersmurf:
Welcome to the human condition. As obvious as it is, nobody ever gets it.

--- Quote from: Tova on 23 Apr 2019, 23:47 ---Everything you say is absolutely true, and yet not one of those things makes what Faye said to Marten honest.
--- End quote ---
At what point was it supposed to be 'honest'? However it is also not a malicious act on Faye's part. So, really, there is nothing to debate because whether or not she is being honest isn't the issue here. The issue is her very real fear and confronting this challenge.
--- End quote ---
The lie itself wasn't malicious. But an alcoholic is a liar by nature and lying is a dangerous relapse trigger, simply because the liar feels guilty afterwards. And in Faye's case, she's lying because she clearly wants to support one of her oldest friends and telling her best friend that she's okay with being in a place with all that temptation.
