It is not a lie. Sure someone could misinterpret it but it is not a lie.

  The reason I think it's a lie is that the intention is that someone will misinterpret it.

    Then its not a lie because there is no intention for someone to misinterpret it.

      If that were the case you would just say "I took time off due to a medical situation." The only reason to invoke "loved one" here is to mislead.

        Your version says “I’m a liability”. My versions says “this person has had some struggle and has their priorities in order”.

          We know it sounds better - that’s not in question. The point is that it’s less honest.

            It is a business, not a person. The situation this asymmetric deserves an asymmetric answer.
