Is Your Spouse a Liar? Here Are 6 Ways to Tell

They OVER-Explain

This one’s even worse than not talking at all because it will just leave you confused and frustrated. While explaining something to your spouse is obviously expected, getting too much of an explanation from them should alert a few red flags for you.

The average person will be brief and concise when responding to a question when asked. Not to mention to the point. A liar will usually make up elaborate stories to sell the person on what they’re lying about. You should always rely on the natural responses of a truthful person.

Think about your own reaction to someone asking you that same question. When someone is caught off guard, they tend to fumble and try to buy time so they can come up with a lie. They’ll use many fillers, like “umm” and “err.”

They might even appear fidgety and distracted because they’re nervous. At times, their tone can become very formal, which indicates the pressure to maintain a lie.

    See things in pink and seems all the bad actors in the pictures are men. This smells of misandry.

    NOT TRUE. WHEN I AM REGULARLY BEING QUESTIONED ABOUT THE SAME THING,
    WHEN I SWEAR AND POUR MY HEART OUT, THEY STILL DONT BELIEVE, THATS WHEN I GET
    PISSED. THIS HAPPENED TO ME. YEARS AGO, PEOPLE TOLD MY EX LIES, SHE BELIEVED THEM WITHOUT QUESTIONING OR TALKING TO ME WHICH BROKE US UP.
    I LOVED HER. IT BROKE MY HEART, SO SHE REALLY DIDNT LOVE ME.
    IT WAS HER OUT TO USE THAT EXCUSE BELIEVING OTHERS WITHOUT TALKING TO ME.
    SHE ACCUSED ME WHILE SHE WAS THE LIER.
