Woman stuck in sticky situation after lying to husband for years over takeaway order

A woman has found herself in a sticky situation after lying to her husband for 12 years about what was really in her Chinese takeaway order. The foodies who love to share takeaways together don't always morally agree on their preferred orders which they previously found out the hard way.

Back in the early stages of their relationship, the couple ordered a Chinese takeaway and the woman opted for a 1/4 crispy aromatic duck. She initially thought nothing of her choice but soon realised she had upset her partner who used to keep ducks as childhood pets, the Mirror reports.

Not wanting to miss out on her preferred dish, she started lying that she'd ordered pork as her starter and has kept up the false claim ever since. Over a decade on, she has also got all of her family in on the white lie except for the couple's children but she now fears the truth could be brought to light as they are now old enough to 'participate in the family takeaway nights'.
