Lying (18)
cantbetamed71St. Louis, USA70 Threads 901 PostsHow can you tell when your partner/signifigant other is lying to you? What would you do about it? Confront them or keep quiet and say nothing? Does it depend on "what" kind of lie it is?

Theres no room for lying in a relationship.

If anyone is let go on a lie and you don't call them on it...They will think they will be able to lie all the time.

I agree, I just wondered how others felt about this subject.

People lie a lot and say they dont. It depends on what it was,sometimes the most smiling faces are the best lairs.

If it is a pattern it eventually becomes self-evident. Probably not a good thing for a relationship...I would likely say something...

Body language can give it up,also tone of voice.If he won't look you in the eye,ties to start a fight where your in the wrong to change subject.Tells you from other room or back to you,fiddling or antsy.
I don't beleive because of my faith in lying,also got in trouble many years ago lying and sneaking,wasn't worth it.As to accept or call him on it?Someone who knows you,your significant other and some of your history as a couple could answer you.not safe area for me to tread in.Feel really bad if I said something and you listened and got hurt.
Will say learning and using good communication skills can help

And when you say something to them, they promise to stop liying, how do you know they aren`t lying to you about not lying?

I'd probably say something like I'm outta here...

I`d be more like an umpire, "You`re outta here"

Telling whether or not someone is lying to you is hard enough, now telling if your partner/significant other is lying to you?
If it's a new relationship, usually I would depend on my instinct and gut feeling, of course supported by some sort of evidence or even enough time to tell. In this situation I would keep quiet until I knew for sure.
If the relationship is a few months in, usually body language or tone of voice, small things one notices in typical liars, should put the bug in your ear. In this case I usually go for the jugular and call them on their bluff.
Certain lies I will leave alone and forget about, especially the ones the Ego blurbs out.

hi,
comunication is key, it can also be a misunderstanding. you never know, istead of thinking that the person is lying, simply sit down and talk.

Body language, what I would do it kick him to the curb. I am not one who can take a lie. Not even a small one, honesty is important in a relationship. I am to honest at times, I think I scare them away with the things I say.
When you break the trust, you have broke a promise...... I don't believe there is a commitment if there are lies. Why would someone lie anyway if it was something that wasn't bad or against the relationship? Something they knew that would upset you......I would hate for them to tell me that they were single and later find out they had a wife...or a gf

I agree, I've become more adept at sniffing out a liar. I notice the person avoids eye contact, diverts the subject, looks off into the distance when trying to "concoct" an excuse, stutters, stammers, face gets flushed, may even start sweating, just a number of little physical signals that let me know that DING, DING, DING..I gotta liar in the midst!!!!!!
