Many friends of mine liked it and commented on it.When my girlfriend saw that message and she met me later, she was pissed off saying why it's a luxury for me that I can't afford it all the time? I said to her that it was just one of my quotes and nothing more than that. Does that give her single that I'm not being honest with her in this relationship? Or maybe she is jealous of my intellectual superiority that I come up with my own quotes on social media and have become popular in the town? Or she is over-reacting ? We have been together for four years.Looking forward to hear from you guys! Thank you!

I just thought it was a witty quote which is why I posted it.
If my partner was like your gf, does this mean I am saying that I don't think my partner is great? That's silly, obviously.
She is too insecure if she thinks everything you post on FB publicly is about her or your relationship.

The term "honesty is a luxury" isn't all that new.
Maybe she's upset because you basically implied you are comfortable with lying when it suits you. Your trustworthiness is now in question, and that is pretty upsetting to most girl- or boy-friends.

And I don't see intellect in that statement. Can u use it on your job to your boss in a situation where he is asking for the truth, can you use it with the police when asked do you have any weapons in the vehicle, can you use it with your girlfriend when asked why are there romantic texts from another woman to you in your phone. All the a holes that liked honesty is luxury is a bunch of cheating liars who will be the first one in jail for lying under oath in court. Popularity has nothing to do with it. Your analytical girlfriend has digested what u posted. And it translates you don't tell the truth in every situation. What girlfriend won't become upset by a post like that from her boyfriend.
