#6 He is extremely defensive. If your boyfriend is constantly ready to argue or defend himself at the slightest notice, this could mean he has been lying to you. His trumped up need to defend himself may be a compensation for the wrong that he knows he has secretly done to you.
So if he is jumping up and down to defend himself in a completely disproportionate way to what is happening, it may be because he is unconsciously trying to put up a defensive wall to prevent you from finding out that he’s lying.
#7 He claims to be doing unusual things at unusual times. It can be hard to come up with a credible lie when you’re caught off guard. So when you call up your boyfriend at 10pm, and his initial instinct is to say that he’s watching football at his friend’s place despite there being no game on or any noise in the background, you better be prepared to confront him about it. It’s not that you should be immediately suspicious, but it does help to cross-check what he’s saying with what you can observe.
#8 He is avoiding you. General avoidance is another classic sign that he is lying to you. If your boyfriend is lying to you, he may simply not want to be around you as much. It could be because he doesn’t want you to somehow figure out that he is lying, or because he feels guilty. Either way, avoidance is definitely a reason to be suspicious that he is not being honest with you.
#9 He doesn’t seem like himself. Being a chronic liar can take a toll on your boyfriend’s personality. He may become less happy or less enthusiastic about things. Lying takes a lot of energy, and it also tends to lead to negative personality changes.
Where your boyfriend might have been more carefree or laid back, lying may have sapped his energy and healthy mindset. So if you notice that he is becoming a lot moodier or more dramatic in general, it could be that his usual positivity is being weighed down by the burden of his lies.
