When men get caught lying over dumb things, and why do they deny they lied inthe first place?

My huband is in the Airforce and we have been best friends for years.I moved up here w/ him so he could live his dream and pretty much do what he loves doing. I am starting to notice that he LIES over the dumbest things in the world(nothing big) but what bugs me is that he lies about lying and hes dumb enough to get caught in the first place.



IE: he sends me a text saying he couldnt come home for dinner-he had it earlier when I was at work. I said ok.thats fine.The next day I go into his car and find a reciept for Little Ceasers at 9:05pm. FOURTY minutes AFTER he texted me and said he had dinner early tonight. I know its dumb but why do they ie over dumb stuff? someone educate me please!When men get caught lying over dumb things, and why do they deny they lied inthe first place?
He lies over dumb stuff because he can!When men get caught lying over dumb things, and why do they deny they lied inthe first place?
Because men will do absolutely anything to avoid conflict... If he thinks that it will upset you in the slightest he will lie, not to hurt you, but to avoid an arguement...and avoid "talking"
that actually sounds like a sign of cheating. maybe not, but lying and late night dinners? then again, maybe he just wanted to stay and get work doneWhen men get caught lying over dumb things, and why do they deny they lied inthe first place?
Liars are liars forever and ever, but it is unfair to say "men" there are women like this to. My son the Liar married his wife who is now his Co-liar. Together they lie and lie and lie and lie. What makes it work for them is that they believe their lies. I think they could even pass lie detector test. They both believe that if it come out of their mouth it is the truth.
This is not true of all men, it is true of some men..especially Scorpios...he isnt a scorpio, is he? Some men just have to have their secrets...no reasons attached, just ..... secrets! And this is not limited to just men, for some women are the same way. There is no way of telling if this is part of a bigger pattern, so don't jump to that conclusion, but truthfully, I think I would keep my eyes open perhaps, a little wider. Get used to it, he is NOT going to change, and the lies will get more numerous. You will reach a point when you believe nothing he says, and he will reach a point where everything is a lie. You have to make the decision at what point do you leave, for there will most probably come that time when you will have had your fill of a balloon of lies. Good luck and peace, GoldwingWhen men get caught lying over dumb things, and why do they deny they lied inthe first place?
I hate to say this but PLEASE don't say when MEN get caught.... say when MY HUSBAND instead because women do the same thing and If it were my wife I would my wife not Women like it is all women.... get the drift?



He probably does it because if he told the truth he thinks you would be either mad or hurt so he tells you what I'm sure he considers a little white lie... regardless of the reason a lie is still a lie.... ask him why he does it
I just learned from my current relationship that men hate it when women analize every little thing, so he probably just thought to him self to save the headache of you getting upset at him for not comming home at dinner time or something, coz he wouldnt wanna hear it. Men are seriously more insecure than you think they are, they'll never admit to it though. Mind you, a lie is a lie.. not trying to spark things up but sometimes you gotta look into the little things, coz its those LITTLE things that could mean something big. Remember: honesty is the best policy in a healthy relationship.
Maybe he just wanted to go eat at Lil Ceasar alone. Treat himself. But would be worried of your reaction if you told him. He probably would feel like he has to bring you with him, or at least bring you something.

He does that to protect himself from a possible pissed reaction from you.
maybe you should ask him did he eat dinner twice that night? why would he lie over dinner, you have the proof so confront him it might be more then you think, you think?
because the logic proccess works as such if she can't prove it then i can deny it, trouble is we can always prove they lied
If he`s lying about anything that means he has something to hide that he doesnt want you to know about. Maybe he had dinner with someone else but didnt want you to know. And they will always lie b/c they really think they are good liars. Eventually him lying to you will start affecting you trust in yourself and your confidence. Confront him staright up and call him on it? He cant lie with the receipt in you hand
Did it ever occur to you he wasn't eating alone? As you say it was an odd dumb thing to lie about so I have to assume it was to cover a bigger more important lie.
well who was he having dinnr with?

if they lie about small stuff how can you be 100% sure he doesnt lie about the big stuff?

keep an eye on him or talk to him and ask why he lied.

i think they deny it cos they think maybe if they deny it long enough, you might believe them.

men are the weirdest creatures in the world....trust me, immarried to one!!!! (but i still love him!!!!)
