6 Signs Your Spouse Is Lying

News flash: Everyone fibs. The lies may be harmless (“That haircut looks great!”; “Your abs crush Brad Pitt’s”), or huge (“No, babe, I didn’t take out a second mortgage”). Even the tiny ones can hurt a relationship if they crop up often. So how do you know if you may be getting duped? Look at their body. Here are six of the most common physical tip-offs of lying. Don't freak out if you've spotted one or two once, but if you see enough of 'em repeatedly, it's time to address it.

  1. Covering the mouth while talking It’s as if they’re subconsciously holding back the untruths they’re spouting. It may be as blatant as completely concealing the mouth or as subtle as a single finger placed in front of the lips.

  2. Touching the nose Scientists have found that lying can cause the tissue in the nose to swell, meaning that a quick stroke could be a sign of deceit (sorry, but that allergy season excuse just doesn't cut it).

  3. Rubbing an eye When lying to someone, the instinct is to look away in shame. Since that’s a dead giveaway, many people do a fast wipe of the peepers instead.

  4. Touching an ear You know that phrase, "See no evil, hear no evil?" Well, anything from a small rub of the back of the ear to an outright earlobe yank hint that there may be something more you need to be told.

  5. Going for the neck Research has found lying can cause a tingling in the tissues of the neck, leading to scratching or pulling the collar. It signals that the speaker is feeling uncertain, so be concerned if you see it right after she says something like, "No, I didn't blow $200 on clothes last week."

  6. Shaking the head no while saying yes If he says, “Yep, I’m getting home late because I have a big assignment to finish” while nodding his head, he’s working late. If he sends the mixed message of saying yes while shaking his head no, you may wanna ask if he took a spin by Spearmint Rhino (and we don't mean the zoo).
