Liars are everywhere. Lawyers, salesmen, you name it. You may easily know if such individuals are lying because of the experience you have from dealing with them in the past. But what about a relationship partner that’s a trained liar. How would you pick apart their words and actions to understand if they are not saying the whole truth, or not saying the truth at all? The signs we will be looking at today will provide you the ability to tell if you can trust what your partner says and does or not.
Lies destroy relationships like a nuclear bomb set on a small town. A lie here and there can turn a very happy relationship into something that can’t be related to. It can kill the trust you have in your partner and cause a host of problems to infiltrate the relationship. Even if your partner tries to change later on, it may become difficult to believe whatever they do later on.
Trust is the foundation of any relationship while lying is the wrecking ball. Having knowledge of whether your partner is lying or not will also equip you with the understanding you need to end the relationship or continue with it. Let’s take a look at these signs:
Sign 1 – The Excuses are Piling Up
This could be a sign that your partner is letting it all out. When you have an important engagement that you have to perform together, and your partner always has excuses why they can’t attend, it’s a sign that your partner is hiding something. Our opposite in a relationship should enjoy doing some things with us like going out together, or something as simple as having dinner together. With the excuses piling up, it’s time to bring out your magnifying lens.
Sign 2 – They Always Tell You Odd Stuff Over the Phone
It’s a Saturday night, and your partner tells you when you call that he/she is at work but you could swear you’re hearing sounds that don’t correlate with an office environment. This is a direct indication that there are a lot of worms underneath. This can be the turning point in the relationship that tells whether you guys go ahead or not.
Sign 3 – The Contradictory Statements Keep Coming
Any time you ask about your partner’s whereabouts and you get more than one response over a short period out, your partner is lying. You ask the first time and – the first response “I was at the gym” – the second response at another time “I was held up in traffic for many hours” –– the third time “I was in church”. Such statements are a clear flag (a big red one) that your partner is a liar and shouldn’t be trusted. When the things they say continue to make less sense, then it is time to take a closer look at what they are really doing behind all those lies.
Sign 4 – The Exaggerations Are Regular
One of the signs that your partner is an excellent liar is when you notice how they make contributions to group discussions. Any time someone says something about a particular event, and your partner replies that they have been in a similar event all the time, every time, they are lying. It is impossible to have an experience of every human situation. This is why you should know whenever someone talks about a city they recently visited and your partner says “I’ve been there multiple times in the past” or when someone talks about an activity and your partner says “I’ve done that more times than I can count”, that partner is a stone-cold liar.
Sign 5 – They Don’t Tell You Where They Are
When your partner doesn’t feel the need to inform about where they are or where they have been all the time, they may be hiding something from you. If your partner has no need to inform you about where they went to and the events they witnessed at every place they visited, the chances they are lying to you becomes higher. Honesty and openness is vital in a relationship and when your partner hides their whereabouts, it is a clear indication that they aren’t been plain with you.
Your partner should be able to confide in you and be open about their experiences and whereabouts all the time. It is also a fact that your partner should be someone that claims to know all, as they could be lying to you in disguise. Study your partner and watch out for these signs. If you find any, then confront them about it. If you can confront your partner when you know they are lying, you can stop the ugly trend from repeating itself. But if they refuse to stop the lies, then you may have to reconsider being in the relationship altogether.
