When we love somebody, we trust everything that they say. We assume that our spouse will never lie to us or try to hide anything from us. If you are one of those believers it's time to do a reality check. When one is doing something wrong then lying is the easiest thing to do. It comes naturally. However, there are a few things which are characteristic of a lying person and you need to be smart to detect these symptoms.
Being too defensive
Your spouse has suddenly become very defensive about simple things. For example, if you ask him/her what the plans for the weekend are, he/she will get defensive and question you back, mostly asking you of your intention. He/she will be suspicious of all the questions that you ask and will begin giving unnecessary explanations or excuses.
Inconsistency of explanations
If you believe that you are good at detecting lies, then keep your radar up for pinning down the inconsistencies that you find in your spouses' explanations. If your spouse is lying then it will get difficult for him/her to keep a track of what he/she is saying and discrepancies in conversations are bound to show up.
Use distractions to change topics
You will notice that your spouse will try to avoid certain topics and discussions at any cost. In order to do so, he/she will often use anger as a tool so that you let go of the current conversation. It has also been noticed that some lying spouses use humor and wit to get out of a spot. They'll have you laughing so hard that you'll forget the original issue.
Body language
This is the most obvious of all the signs. You will notice that your spouse avoids looking at you while he/she is lying and will look past you or see through you while talking. He/she might also fidget with something constantly like his/her hair and might even be unwilling to touch you during a conversation.
