The Tell-Tale Signs of a Liar

It isn't easy when you suspect that your spouse or significant other is cheating on you. Of course you are feeling like there is a breach of trust. You may not know how to approach the situation, and you may not even know how to tell for sure. Here are some ways to spot a liar.

Constantly Changing Stories: Pay close attention to detail. This is not just with your significant other. You should always be aware that not everybody is honest. If stories are conflicting (and it’s bothersome), you might have a liar on your hands.

On the Defense: If your spouse is super defensive about minor things, there might be an issue coming your way.

Body Language: Pay attention to the common lying gestures, such as touching the nose, looking away from you, and unusual non-movement.

Trust Yourself: Unless you’re an unusually paranoid person, you will be able to feel when something is wrong. Your body does not lie. Your gut feeling is usually always the right thing to do and/or the right feeling.

Above all else, if you feel like someone is cheating or lying, you already have a problem in the relationship.  The best thing to do in this type of situation is to tell your significant other how you’re feeling. Maybe you’re overreacting. If there is trust in the relationship, your conversation will reflect that. Don’t hesitate to speak to your partner, but do it in a way that is not hurtful.
