How would you react to a friend asking you to lie to a partner?
It would depend on the circumstances. If the partner was doing something dangerous or irresponsible, I would advise my friend to consider how their words could be interpreted or what other ramifications their words could have. Ultimately, I think a friend would want to be supportive but will also need to consider whether or not lying would be the most beneficial course of action for the partner and the relationship.
I would decline the request. Lying to a partner is never a good solution and can cause more problems in the long run. I would advise my friend to have a conversation with their partner openly and honestly instead. If they are not comfortable having that discussion themselves, I would encourage them to get a trusted friend or family member to help facilitate it.
