Do you think your partner isn’t honest with you? Are you bad at spotting a lie?
Below are 10 top signs you should look out for when trying to detect if your partner is lying to you.
1. If your partner suddenly makes a head movement when you ask him/her a direct question, your partner may be lying to you. The movement of the head (bowed down, jerked backwards or tilted to the side) usually happens before he/she answers your question.
2. Inconsistencies in your partner’s response to your question may be a sign your partner is hiding the truth from you.
3. If your partner begins to breathe heavily and his/her voice gets shallow when responding to a question, your partner may be hiding the truth from you. The heart rate and blood flow changes when someone is telling a lie.
4. How your partner responds to a question he/she didn’t see coming may tell if your partner is lying or not. If your partner loses his/her composure after the question is asked, your partner may be hiding the truth from you.
5. If you notice your partner repeating words or phrases when responding to a question you asked, your partner may be hiding the truth from you. The repetition of words or phrases is a tactic liars use to buy themselves time.
6. Your partner may be hiding the truth from you if he/she contradicts himself or herself when responding to a question you asked.
7. Your partner may be hiding the truth from you if he/she gives too much information (information that wasn’t requested and especially excessive details) when responding to a question. People normally talk alot when lying because they are hoping they will convince you with all their talking.
8. Your partner may be telling a lie if he or she instinctively covers part of his/her body (throat, chest, head or abdomen) with his or her hand when responding to a question.
9. If your partner suddenly bites his/her lips or finds it difficult to speak after you asked him/her a question, your partner is probably hiding the truth from you.
10. If your partner stares at you without blinking much when responding to a question, your partner may be hiding the truth from you. According to experts, liars go an extra mile to maintain eye contact in an attempt to control and manipulate you.
