People lie for various reasons. When it comes to relationships, it is not acceptable because it is meant to be built on trust. It takes a minute to break trust but several years to regain it. Lying is one of the ways to break trust. These are 5 easy signs to tell your partner is lying to you:
1. When they change their head position quickly
If your partner suddenly makes a head movement when you ask them a direct question, they may be lying to you about something.
2. Their breathing changes
When someone is lying to you, they may begin to breathe heavily.
3. They stand very still
It’s common knowledge that people fidget when they get nervous, but you should also watch out for people who are not moving at all. If you observe a rigid stance devoid of movement, it is often a huge warning sign that something is off.
4. They repeat words or phrases
This happens because they’re trying to convince you, and themselves, of something. For example, he or she may say: “I didn’t …I didn’t …” over and over again. The repetition is also a way to buy themselves time as they attempt to gather their thoughts.
5. They touch or cover their mouth
When adults put their hands over their lips, it means they aren’t revealing everything, and they just don’t want to tell the truth.
