In my opinion, lying to your partner is never right, but sometimes understandable. Some people try to control their partner by becoming upset at things they disapprove or or don't like. The other person resorts to lying to avoid upsetting them.
However, true communication involves both a willingness to hear the truth and a willingness to tell the truth. If one person refuses to hear the truth, the other person may stop telling it. People need to give each other the freedom to be honest.
It is fine to express your feelings about a partner's behavior and hope that they will change. It is quite another to use emotional blackmail to prevent them from doing things you don't like. Adults should be in charge of their own behavior and accountable for the same. Obviously if their actions are illegal or immoral that changes things - as long as you don't try to apply your own moral values on them. Adults also have a right to decide on their own moral values.
