I didn't really look at much of MMSL either, but I did notice an encouraging sign: the author's wife is listed as a coauthor and adds occasional remarks to the posts, which if nothing else suggests that she reads them. This puts an upper bound on how dishonest it can possibly be.
Yes, it requires that two people be lying about something for their mutual benefit, instead of just one. Two people is practically a conspiracy!
(We need to use another term for where the actual upper bound doesn't change that much at all but the probability of a moderate amount of deception is present is reduced.)
I was assuming that "hollow and dishonest" referred to the author being hollow and dishonest to his wife. And in fact I don't think this can be done very effectively when you document your hollowness and dishonesty on a blog your wife reads.
