The Following Are The Top 10 Lies People Tell Their Partner


Unless you’re the human embodiment of perfection, you have probably told a lie or two. We all have. It’s human nature to fib a little or omit the truth in order to save yourself from an uncomfortable conversation, embarrassment, or backlash.

In all of our relationships – whether romantic, friendly or in the workplace – trust is a very important issue and necessary for a healthy relationship dynamic. Until you are in a genuinely committed relationship with someone you know well, and know has your best interests at heart, the only person you can really rely on is yourself.

People tend to lie to one another more than you might think. Here are some of the most common lies that people tell their partner.

“A single lie destroys a whole reputation of integrity.” – Baltasar Gracian

1. “I’M JUST FINE.”

Have you ever heard this phrase? Maybe you’ve uttered it yourself once or twice. This little lie is one of the most told lies in a relationship. But it has sarcasm in the tone!

The one thing couples should never lie about is how they feel… Whether you are replying to the actual question or showing that you’re fine or good based on your verbal or body language, you must be truthful and open with your partner about how you feel.

Maybe you didn’t want to get into how you were feeling, or maybe you just wanted to avoid an argument. Either way, most people tell this lie once or twice (or more!).

2. HOW MANY PARTNERS YOU’VE HAD

Most people tend to fib on the lower side of how many partners they’ve had. Even if the number isn’t particularly large, or the list particularly long, we always want our current partner to feel special. If you’ve fudged the number of people you’ve been with, don’t worry. Everyone else is doing it too. Well except a Virgin. They will tell you the truth.



3. YOU LIKE THEIR PARENTS

Not everyone gets along with their in-laws, or future in-laws. People tend to lie about how much they actually like their partner’s parents. They either do this to keep the peace, or because they really don’t see the point in telling the truth about their feelings. After all, for some people, blood is definitely thicker than water.

4. HOW MUCH MONEY YOU SPEND

Couples should never lie to each other about finances. There should be an open discussion, agreements and transparency between the two of them when it comes to finances.

Have you ever gone out on a little “treat yourself!” shopping spree, and then had to hastily hide the receipt and make up a lie about how everything was on sale? How much money that gets spent is one of the most common lies couples tell one another.

Debt and spending habits are dealbreakers, they often lead to breakups.

5. “YOU LOOK GREAT.”

This little white lie is something we sometimes have to break out in order to not hurt our partner’s feelings. Whether you’re lying about the suit that looks totally hideous, or the dress that accentuates all the wrong features, lying about how your partner looks in something is probably the most common lie told in relationships. But if they really really want to know, then avoid the embarrassment they will suffer if others look at them funny and chuckle. So tell the truth...

6. YOU NEVER THINK ABOUT YOUR EX

We share our love and our lives with so many different people in the past. Even if your last relationship ended mutually, or even if you were the one to call things off, your feelings don’t just disappear. It’s not a bad thing to think about your ex sometimes, and to remind yourself of the feelings you had. But, it might cause jealousy, so that’s why some people choose to fib about it to their current partners.

7. YOU LOVE THEIR COOKING

If your partner isn’t particularly skilled in the kitchen, you’ve probably mastered the art of chewing with a straight face … or getting to the kitchen to start dinner first. Most people lie about the skill of cooking that their partners have. After all, if they never try, how are they going to get better at it.

Many of us do not want to hear the awful truth every time. Say someone asks you how they looks. They probably wants to hear that they look great. If they don’t look great, and we tell them the truth, we create a conflict and have to deal with the results sooner or later.

8. “I AGREE WITH YOU.”

Being in a relationship is about having each other’s backs. If your partner gets into an argument, or disagreement, with someone else, you’ve probably stood up for them. Even though people may not particularly agree with their partner in the argument, they’re probably going to lie and say they do. After all, solidarity in a relationship is important.

9. “YOU’RE THE BEST.”

When it comes to being physically intimate, people tend to lie to their partners about how good they are in bed. That isn’t to say that people don’t enjoy the things they do with their partners. They just tend to fib about  just HOW good, and whether or not they’re the best partner they’ve ever had. There’s no reason to make your partner self-conscious or jealous about relationships in the past. So, people tend to fib. If you don't want to fib. Just say: " I just know how you make me feel" which you imply is "Great"

10. WHAT YOU REALLY LOOK LIKE

Unless you live together, and your partner sees you every day, you might be lying (just a little!) to your partner about how they really look . Maybe they've only send their best-looking selfies, or maybe they only see one another when they’re done up and looking their best. This is one of the most common little lies that folks tell one another.

Final thoughts

Lying isn’t a good practice in any relationship. In fact, the best thing to do is to try and omit these lies without being hurtful with your honesty. But no one is perfect, and most of these are lies that help keep the peace and avoid hurting your partner’s feelings. If you find yourself telling these lies in your relationship, don’t worry. They've lied to you too.
