  43. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Finding you’re cheated on can feel like a prank at first. But when your mind finally adjusts with reality, it’s as if someone stole everything intellectual and materialistic and left you empty. You feel like nothing is trustworthy, yourself is unworthy, you feel disgusted and want to turn to dust. </span></p>
  44. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">This whirlwind of emotions makes the next steps of your life turbulent and dangerous. Even a normal sense doesn’t always work when you face this kind of trauma. That’s why, in this article, we’ve set a guide that can be a roadmap to navigate the pain of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infidelity">infidelity</a> and heal like a strong person while keeping your dignity intact.</span></p>
  45. <h2>How to Maintain Your Dignity After Infidelity</h2>
  46. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">You can follow some steps and tips on how you can keep your dignity and positivity even after cheating, such as:</span></p>
  47. <h3>Acknowledging Your Feelings</h3>
  48. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">The very first step to act on after being cheated to keep your life going with dignity is to acknowledge whatever you’re feeling. You can feel sad, tired, hateful, lonely, angry to others or yourself, and so much more. Feeling kind of unstable or a cascade of emotions is normal after experiencing heartbreak with disloyalty trauma.</span></p>
  49. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">But if you try to bottle up these emotions and don’t give yourself time to grieve the loss, it can backfire, make your life more worse, and eventually you can lose your dignity along with big opportunities in life. Although at first it may seem like you’re taking much time for healing or resting, it can actually help in healing faster. So, let the emotions flow to leave a clear state of mind as soon as possible.</span></p>
  50. <h3>Seeking Support from Trusted Individuals</h3>
  51. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">It cuts very deep when someone you trust with your life cheats on you. That’s why, the whole world can feel distant and lonely where you may not be able to trust anyone about anything. However, it’s also a vulnerable time when you feel weak, think weakly, and prone to make more dangerous mistakes.</span></p>
  52. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">That’s why it’s important to have people around you to reach out for any type of support, either for ranting, to take advice, for a shoulder to cry on, or simply for their presence around. </span></p>
  53. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">And if you’re not very comfortable seeking help or talking about it with your close people, you can consider joining a support group for individuals who have gone through similar experiences before. They can remind you that you&#8217;re not alone, support is available, and what to expect or what to do next.</span></p>
  54. <h3>Setting Boundaries with Your Ex-Partner</h3>
  55. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Cheating is not a mistake, but a decision. That’s why there&#8217;s usually no point in getting back or giving a second chance to your ex-partner who cheated on you. But if you want to end the relationship or contemplate reconciliation, in both cases, you need to set boundaries on contacting him/her.</span></p>
  56. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Setting the boundaries is important for your own emotional health. It’s because contacting that person will interrupt your healing process but stirring up emotions you want to forget. If necessary, take a break from social media or other access to where your partner can contact you easily.</span></p>
  57. <h3>Focusing on Self-Care and Healing</h3>
  58. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Healing from infidelity is a long journey as it’s not only about moving on, but also about taking care of your emotional, mental, and physical health. Although the trauma of being betrayed will most likely take their toll on you, and it can be hard to do anything positive for yourself, but you should try little by little. </span></p>
  59. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Try doing small activities that can divert your mind while nurturing your physical wellbeing. You can do some exercises, yoga, practice meditation, get enough sleep and rest as they all have a significant impact on your healing process. It’s okay to take a break from everything else and pamper yourself to boost the healing process. However, try with small steps as they can also feel overwhelming and affect healing.</span></p>
  60. <h3>Rediscovering Your Self-Worth</h3>
  61. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">As someone cheats, it makes the victim feel unworthy of trust and relationship. That’s why self-esteem goes below the ground when you feel you could do something better or have something better that could possibly stop your partner from cheating. Either be it beauty, money, fame, health, or anything we’re a bit insecure about can feel like a heavy burden after being cheated.</span></p>
  62. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">But, it’s important to keep in mind that being cheated on has nothing to do with all these; they’re just excuses for disloyal people. Getting cheated didn’t diminish your value, but enhanced it as you’re a good soul who believes in loyalty. Although it’s quite normal to feel unworthy, you should remind yourself everyday about your positive aspects to rebuild confidence and regain control over your wellbeing. Having friends and sharing with them can also help as they’ll always remind your worth.</span></p>
  63. <h3>Exploring Professional Counseling or Therapy</h3>
  64. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Emotional aftermath of infidelity isn’t easy to handle alone like we said. Also, sometimes your close people can’t give you proper suggestions or support that can actually help you. This is where you can <a href="https://www.liedetectortest.org/">seek professional counseling or therapy</a> to navigate your feelings and healing process.</span></p>
  65. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">A professional can offer a neutral and safe space for your feelings and healing, while giving effective coping strategies. Also, they can help when you’re too introverted to talk about with anyone. They can also help you track your healing progress for reclaiming your dignity.</span></p>
  66. <h3>Engaging in New Hobbies and Interests</h3>
  67. <h3><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-6050 alignright" src="https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/hobbies-e1715862568608-300x294.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="294" srcset="https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/hobbies-e1715862568608-300x294.jpg 300w, https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/hobbies-e1715862568608-1024x1003.jpg 1024w, https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/hobbies-e1715862568608-768x752.jpg 768w, https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/hobbies-e1715862568608.jpg 1104w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></h3>
  68. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">New experiences are one of the most transformative ways <a href="https://www.liedetectortest.org/post/how-to-survive-infidelity/">to deal with post-betrayal effects.</a> You can engage in exploring new hobbies or reigniting past interests as they usually act as a powerful reminder of your individuality outside of the relationship by bringing joy and fulfillment. </span></p>
  69. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">These new experiences can be anything positive; new social connections, joining a class, practicing a new skill, reading books, doing outdoor activities, or any other opportunities that brings joy amidst the healing process with personal growth.</span></p>
  70. <h3>Reflecting on the Relationship and Learning from the Experience</h3>
  71. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">It’s very crucial to reflect on your healing after facing infidelity. You shouldn’t dwell in the past excessively, but you shouldn’t jump right into another relationship headfast. Some people do this to forget about their feelings, but they end up hurting their partner or themselves again. </span></p>
  72. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Take your time to understand what happened to you, why it happened, how to avoid or solve the problems later, relationship dynamics and other related stuff to avoid repeating the same experience. Even if someone cheats on you, you can’t always blame them, you should also learn and grow.</span></p>
  73. <h2>Conclusion</h2>
  74. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">in the navigation zone. The journey may feel too hard that you want to give up sometimes, but you should take time, rest, and commitment to move forward and navigate your life with dignity.</span></p>
  75. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Acknowledge your feelings, learn from your mistakes, set boundaries, take enough rest, gain new experiences, engage with others to rediscover self-worth. All these will make you more resilient, wise, and stronger. Always remember, it’s not the journey that matters, but your destination.</span></p>

  94. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Regardless of how we would like to perceive it, lying can be considered a universal human experience. This is applicable in both good and bad instances. Maybe you told your friend that you like their haircut to prevent their feelings from getting hurt. Or you told your boss that you have managed to land your dream job, whereas, in reality, you haven’t.</span></p>
  95. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">The bottom line is that lying has been known to take various forms, being told for multiple reasons. The main point is to identify whether your lies are becoming compulsive or not. In that case, not only do we have to get to the root of the main problem, but we also provide help and guidance about how we can overcome it. This article will aim to do just that.</span></p>
  96. <h2><span style="font-weight: 400">What Constitutes Compulsive Lying?</span></h2>
  97. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Compulsive lying has been found to vary entirely from the little white lies that are told occasionally. The concerning part is that these lies are also said regularly. This leads to a loss of control over the person telling the lies. As such, compulsive lying is also known as pathological lying.</span></p>
  98. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">According to research, lying in itself would be considered normal psychological behaviour. When you think about your situation, I’m sure you’ll be able to come across at least one instance when you’ve told a small or white lie. </span></p>
  99. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">On the other hand, as with compulsive lying, it tends to deviate from traditional lies. This means that <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compulsive_Liar">a compulsive liar</a> will construct fantastical and impressive tales with the main intention of appearing impressive. </span></p>
  100. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">The problem tends to become further complicated when people participate in the lies by throwing in questions of their own. This means the narrator would then have to continue adding details to keep up with their lies. Over time, it could become difficult to remain organized, allowing situations to spiral out of control.</span></p>
  101. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">The sad part is that compulsive lying has not yet been recognized as a mental health or psychological condition. Even then, we would find it to be prevalent.</span></p>
  102. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">In the current scenario, it may look like compulsive lying would serve the liar’s purpose to gain social attention and popularity. However, the people who have done it have also experienced psychological distress, claiming that they felt that lying deterred their ability to function in work or social situations. In addition, they also believed that this kind of behaviour was a risk for themselves and those around them.</span></p>
  103. <h2><span style="font-weight: 400">Causes Of Compulsive Lying</span></h2>
  104. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Even though a more significant amount of research would need to be conducted regarding unveiling the causes of compulsive lying, we would still be able to provide you with a list to begin with. Look below at some of the <a href="https://www.liedetectortest.org/post/compulsive-lying-disorder/">leading causes of compulsive lying</a> identified by researchers.</span></p>
  105. <ol>
  106. <li><b>Antisocial personality disorder: </b><span style="font-weight: 400">The lies would be told for fun or manipulation</span></li>
  107. <li><b>Borderline personality disorder:</b><span style="font-weight: 400"> The individual would be experiencing problems with maintaining emotional stability and also mood instability</span></li>
  108. <li><b>Confabulation:</b><span style="font-weight: 400"> This would be described as a particular disorder where people tend to develop false memories, but not necessarily out of the intention for lying</span></li>
  109. <li><b>Factitious disorder: </b><span style="font-weight: 400">This is a disorder where an individual would intentionally cause psychiatric or physical symptoms of a particular illness. This is done so that they can receive medical attention and care. The shocking part is that the individual can do this to themselves or others, </span></li>
  110. <li><b>Malingering:</b><span style="font-weight: 400"> This would include exaggerating an existing illness or making up a new one to gain your benefit. However, this would not be considered to be a mental health disorder</span></li>
  111. <li><b>Narcissistic personality disorder:</b><span style="font-weight: 400"> In this kind of disorder, lying would be done to increase one’s self-importance</span></li>
  112. </ol>
  113. <h2><span style="font-weight: 400">How to Deal With a Compulsive Liar</span></h2>
  114. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">The experts have shared some helpful strategies for dealing with compulsive liars.</span></p>
  115. <h3>Don’t Take the Individual Seriously or the Situation Personally</h3>
  116. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">First, when you realize that a person close to you is lying to you, one of the first things you would do is start wondering. This means you are trying to think back and figure out whether you have done something wrong or your behaviour had anything to do with it.</span></p>
  117. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">However, the expert suggests avoiding taking the lies personally. It’s equally important to remember that the compulsion to lie tends to reflect more on the liar than on you.</span></p>
  118. <h3>Explain to the Liars About the Impact the Lies Are Having Upon You</h3>
  119. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">On the off-chance that you get to catch the liar in the act, the initial reaction would be to get angry and frustrated. That is precisely the reaction that you should not be going for. Instead, you can talk to them openly and explain how their lies are detrimental to you.</span></p>
  120. <h3>Encourage Them to Seek Treatment and Help<img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-6043 alignright" src="https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Seek-Treatment-and-Help-e1715704626181-300x252.jpg" alt="" width="337" height="283" srcset="https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Seek-Treatment-and-Help-e1715704626181-300x252.jpg 300w, https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Seek-Treatment-and-Help-e1715704626181-1024x861.jpg 1024w, https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Seek-Treatment-and-Help-e1715704626181-768x646.jpg 768w, https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Seek-Treatment-and-Help-e1715704626181.jpg 1286w" sizes="(max-width: 337px) 100vw, 337px" /></h3>
  121. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Try to broach the topic of visiting a mental healthcare provider and encourage them to seek help. These people are <a href="https://www.liedetectortest.org/">trained professionals</a> who can help the compulsive liar understand why they are lying in the first place and diagnose whether there is an underlying mental disorder. This can eventually help develop healthier coping mechanisms in the long term.</span></p>
  122. <h3>Set Firm Boundaries With Compulsive Liars</h3>
  123. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">It would also be essential to set firm boundaries with the compulsive liar and consciously maintain them. All this needs to be done to protect yourself. However, if the person’s compulsion to lie is quite strong, the boundaries that you have laid down may not prove to be effective. You’ll understand this when you see the person continuously lying to you.</span></p>
  124. <h2><span style="font-weight: 400">Final Thoughts</span></h2>
  125. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Even though no specific treatment exists for compulsive lying because it is not a recognized mental health condition, you shouldn’t be disheartened. After all, there are several other ways and strategies that you can undertake to not only expose the liar in the act but also protect your mental health and sanity.</span></p>

Although there have always been issues with trusting partners, no matter what era, digitalization has made this more complex. These complexities blur the line between fidelity and <a href="https://www.liedetectortest.org/post/infidelity-counselling/">infidelity</a>.</span></p>
  146. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">That&#8217;s why a new concept of &#8220;micro-cheating&#8221; is getting popular among couples, which is a subtle yet impactful challenge. For more detailed information on </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">the idea of</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> micro-cheating and how to detect, address, and deal with it, we designed this article to help you out. Let&#8217;s get started.</span></p>
  147. <h2>What is Micro-Cheating?</h2>
  148. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">As the name suggests, <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro-cheating">micro-cheating</a> involves small actions that can seem insignificant to many. These actions are subtle signs that a partner is emotionally or physically attached to someone else outside his/her relationship but not actively engaging in any significant infidelity. </span></p>
  149. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">For example, someone who is micro-cheating can frequently text with a specific individual, have social media interactions with someone who can seem intimate, prioritize someone&#8217;s company more, and so on. These subtle signs will be </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">as</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> ambiguous, but if you see them consistently, it&#8217;s more of a micro-cheating.</span></p>
  150. <h2>How Micro-Cheating Differs from Traditional Cheating</h2>
  151. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Micro-cheating has some differences from the traditional cheating we usually know. It&#8217;s important to understand these differences when navigating your modern relationship. The differences, in </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">brief</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> are:</span></p>
  152. <p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Subtlety and Scale</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">: </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">The scale and subtlety of both types of cheating vary. Whereas traditional cheating involves clear and undeniable acts like going out with someone privately, </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">micro-cheating</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> involves minor and small actions like sharing inside jokes with a coworker or liking someone&#8217;s posts excessively.</span></p>
  153. <p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Physical vs. Emotional Focus</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">: </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">In most traditional cases, it involves intimate physical interactions with someone outside the relationship. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">However, </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">micro-cheating,</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">most</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> start with emotional or intellectual interaction and connection with someone, which can lead to crossing physical boundaries later.</span></p>
  154. <p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Secrecy and Deception Levels</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">: </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Although both forms of cheating revolve around secrecy, the deception level differs. In micro-cheating, it&#8217;s easier to deny or justify the actions as they seem insignificant, harmless, and not very serious most of the time. Because of its gray area, it can deceive people more than traditional cheating.</span></p>
  155. <p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Impact on the Relationship</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">: </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Traditional cheating usually threatens the overall relationship directly by breaking trust and commitment, whereas micro-cheating destroys the foundation of a relationship gradually. The micro-actions of cheating accumulate and significantly create distress over the relationship over time.</span></p>
  156. <p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Identification and Proof</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">: </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Identification of traditional cheating is more accessible for their direct and concrete evidence of infidelity. In contrast, it&#8217;s very complicated to pinpoint and prove a micro-cheating for its subtle nature. If someone is </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">very</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> insecure about every action, they can pick normal behavior or actions as cheating.</span></p>
  157. <p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Intent and Awareness</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">: </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Whoever is involved in traditional cheating is well aware of their actions, as well as the impact or result that can cause. Also, in every case, they have a clear intention to perform infidelity. However, many people engaged in micro-cheating aren&#8217;t always aware of if they&#8217;re actually cheating or if it can lead to something terrible. Many of them show signs of micro-cheating because of being over-friendly, open, or not knowing what their partner considers as cheating.</span></p>
  158. <p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Recovery and Resolution</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">: </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Usually, addressing and recovering from traditional cheating is impossible for many, and even if someone recovers, it takes a significant amount of time and effort to rebuild trust. However, most of the time, micro-cheating only needs an open and transparent communication of their feelings and resolution to set boundaries and understand each other deeply. That&#8217;s why, where many traditional cheating cases don&#8217;t involve a happy ending, micro-cheating doesn&#8217;t always go that way.</span></p>
  159. <h2>How to Detect Micro-Cheating?</h2>
  160. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Since micro-cheating consists of subtle acts, you need to be sensitive to them </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">and  </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">have </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">keen</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> observation to find them out.</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> The critical aspects of detecting micro-cheating behaviors are:</span></p>
  161. <h3>Monitor Changes in Digital Privacy</h3>
  162. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">If your partner isn&#8217;t usually secretive about his life but suddenly becomes one, it can hint at micro-cheating. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">For example, your partner will shield their screen from your view most of the time, introduce new passwords on their devices </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">or</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">selective</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> social media without telling you any valid reason, etc.</span></p>
  163. <h3>Note Unexplained Absences or Vague Explanations</h3>
  164. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Even if people don&#8217;t cross the boundaries of physical activities in micro-cheating, their partner can still become unreachable or show unexplained absences often. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">They might provide a vague explanation but will try to keep most information hidden </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">just</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> to avoid more questions or drama.</span></p>
  165. <h3>Watch for Constant Messaging with Unknown Contacts</h3>
  166. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Constant messaging or calls with others can be expected if your partner has business or office work or is very social. However, if your partner is reluctant to share who they&#8217;re communicating with, or there&#8217;s a noticeable communication pattern with a specific individual, </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">then</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> it suggests micro-cheating.</span></p>
  167. <h3>Observe Social Media Interactions</h3>
  168. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Liking, commenting on, or sharing another person&#8217;s social media content is not abnormal. But if your partner does this excessively regarding an individual beyond the normal range, it&#8217;s a subtle sign of micro-cheating.</span></p>
  169. <h3>Assess Emotional and Physical Intimacy Levels</h3>
  170. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Along with other signs, if your partner shows a decrease in sharing physical or emotional closeness with you, it&#8217;s a big red flag that indicates micro-cheating. It happens because the other person who&#8217;s getting your partner&#8217;s attention becomes the main focus of your emotional energy.</span></p>
  171. <h3>Look for Defensive Reactions to Inquiries</h3>
  172. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Someone who isn&#8217;t doing something wrong on their devices won&#8217;t be defensive against showing </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">them</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> or talking about them. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">For example, </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">suppose you</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> ask about online activities, who they&#8217;re conversing with, or ask them to lend their phone for a minute.</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> In that case, someone who is micro-cheating will get irritated or defensive.</span></p>
  173. <h3>Detect Evasiveness About Specific Individuals</h3>
  174. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">When a partner is micro-cheating and attracted toward an individual, s/he will try to avoid any topic regarding that individual even if that topic or discussion is normal. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">It&#8217;s because they&#8217;re</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> afraid it might show how close they are or their attraction level, and thus, they can get caught or cause unintentional problems.</span></p>
  175. <h3>Identify Frequent Mentions of a New &#8220;Friend&#8221;</h3>
  176. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Even if someone is micro-cheating and tries to avoid focusing on their topic, they sometimes mention new individuals frequently, like, &#8216;s/he—said this, do this, loves this, etc.</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">&#8216;</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> as if they think that individual is better than their partner.</span></p>
  177. <h3>Notice Shifts in Social Habits or Preferences</h3>
  178. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">It&#8217;s normal to have new hobbies or activities, but it can be concerning if your partner is doing them to align with someone else&#8217;s interests, who could be a possible suspect of micro-cheating. For example, your partner can start going to the gym at the same time as a coworker, go for a morning walk in the same direction as a new neighbor, etc.</span></p>
  179. <h2>Catching Micro-Cheating in Action</h2>
  180. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Now that you know the possible signs of micro-cheating, it&#8217;s time to catch them in action. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> will take intuition, keen observation, and a lot of patience. Here&#8217;s an expanded guide on this:</span></p>
  181. <h3>Monitor Digital Device Usage</h3>
  182. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">You can monitor your partner&#8217;s digital device usage to catch micro-cheating. If they&#8217;re using new passwords or increasing their protectiveness, ask for access to those devices, and if they refuse, confront them for micro-cheating.</span></p>
  183. <h3>Assess Social Media Interactions<img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-6038 alignright" src="https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Untitled-design-e1715662793878-300x222.jpg" alt="" width="317" height="235" srcset="https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Untitled-design-e1715662793878-300x222.jpg 300w, https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Untitled-design-e1715662793878-1024x758.jpg 1024w, https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Untitled-design-e1715662793878-768x569.jpg 768w, https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Untitled-design-e1715662793878.jpg 1456w" sizes="(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px" /></h3>
  184. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">If you see your partner frequently commenting on and liking a specific person&#8217;s post, ask about the deal. Also, if you see your partner secretly messaging someone regularly, it&#8217;s time to confront them about micro-cheating.</span></p>
  185. <h3>Listen for New Names</h3>
  186. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">If your partner frequently mentions new names to his new colleague or friend, it indicates emotional attachment. So, you can confront him about micro-cheating in an open discussion when that name is mentioned again.</span></p>
  187. <h3>Observe Changes in Daily Routines</h3>
  188. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">When your partner changes daily habits, routines, or hobbies to spend time with an individual in digital or real life, you can ask about the details to take action against micro-cheating.</span></p>
  189. <h3>Note Emotional and Physical Withdrawal</h3>
  190. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">If a partner is emotionally invested in someone else, you&#8217;ll notice withdrawal of physical and emotional attachment from you. They&#8217;ll gradually share fewer feelings or affections than they used to. And it&#8217;s a red flag enough to address the situation and discuss micro-cheating.</span></p>
  191. <h3>Look for Non-Verbal Cues</h3>
  192. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">When you ask about someone who&#8217;s a possible candidate for your partner&#8217;s attention, you&#8217;ll see anxiety or nervousness on your partner&#8217;s face. Also, they&#8217;ll show these non-verbal cues when your partner gets texts or calls from that individual in front of you.</span></p>
  193. <h2>How to Strengthen Your Relationship Post-Micro-Cheating</h2>
  194. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">We all know that it&#8217;s not easy to rebuild and strengthen relationships after your trust is broken. It takes a lot of understanding, effort, and commitment from both partners. Here are some tips on how you can fortify your bond and move forward together:</span></p>
  195. <p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Reaffirm Commitment</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">: </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Mutual understanding is crucial for a positive tone in healing. That&#8217;s why both partners need to reaffirm their commitment to their relationship to overcome the challenges and issues at hand.</span></p>
  196. <p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Open Lines of Communication</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">: </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Communication is the key to many relationship problems. Suppose you communicate openly and honestly about your expectations, feelings, experiences, and needs. This can prevent misunderstandings and build trust.</span></p>
  197. <p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Set Clear Boundaries</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">:   </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Everyone has different sets of values and boundaries. What you consider normal can seem extreme to your partner. That&#8217;s why the couple should sit and discuss acceptable behaviors and what constitutes the crossing line. It can be how much interaction they can do with the opposite gender, and so on. </span></p>
  198. <p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Focus on Emotional Intimacy</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">: </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Nothing helps move on better than getting emotionally closer. That&#8217;s why you and your partner should focus on doing activities together that can make you closer. Night dates, sharing hobbies, traveling to new places, or even reminiscing shared memories can strengthen the emotional connection.</span></p>
  199. <p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Address Underlying Issues</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">:  </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Since micro-cheating often stems from unmet desires, needs, or dissatisfaction, having an honest and open discussion to address those underlying issues will help if you try to find solutions together and compromise when needed.</span></p>
  200. <p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Practice Transparency</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">: </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Being transparent no matter what you do is crucial for better understanding and gives both partners a feeling of comfort. It&#8217;s even more </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">important</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> in this age of digitalization, as micro-cheating has become so typical nowadays. It doesn&#8217;t involve monitoring your partner constantly but creating an environment where no secrecy is necessary.</span></p>
  201. <p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Build Trust Through Actions</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">: </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">It&#8217;s easier said than done, so you should show consistent actions to rebuild your relationship. Just promising will only let you go a little further. Even if your actions are small, keep doing them regularly and reach bigger goals gradually. If your partner sees the actions, s/he will be reassured that you&#8217;re keeping your word.</span></p>
  202. <p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Seek Professional Help</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">: </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Sometimes, addressing the challenge and navigating the aftermath of micro-cheating can be challenging.<a href="https://www.liedetectortest.org/"> Consultancy with a professional</a> can help you with any matter by providing the proper guidance and being a bridge between the partners.</span></p>
  203. <h2>Conclusion</h2>
  204. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Micro-cheating is a subtle yet complex challenge for any relationship. However, it can usually be solved just by careful navigation and open discussion. However, confronting the issue can be messy if someone becomes very emotional and doesn&#8217;t think clearly.</span></p>
  205. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Also, sometimes, the feeling that your partner is cheating comes from feeling insecure. We suggest you ask a professional to assess the situation and follow his advice accordingly.</span></p>

  227. <h2></h2>
  228. <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Psychological Reasons for Lying</span></h2>
  229. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">To Avoid Uncomfortable Situations</span></h3>
  230. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Sometimes, people tend to lie to avoid getting out of doing things that they don’t want to do. For example, you might have been invited to a family dinner or a party to which you have no intention of going. </span></p>
  231. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">How best to get out of it? Lie. You might say that you already have other plans or that you have a commitment that you simply can’t get out of. In other words, people tend to use lying as a tool to avoid situations and people that they have no intention of encountering and experiencing.</span></p>
  232. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">To Lighten The Atmosphere</span></h3>
  233. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Some people have been known to enjoy a good joke or a good prank. As such, you may come across certain people in your life who love cracking jokes, even though it might be at another person’s expense. So, one surefire way to continue these pranks or to lighten a dull atmosphere would be to tell a lie and make the story more interesting and exciting.</span></p>
  234. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">To Protect and Preserve Their Image </span></h3>
  235. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">You may encounter certain situations where people ask you intimate or personal questions that you absolutely have no intention of answering. Maybe your new crush asks for your address right on the very first encounter, or maybe a stranger asks for your name and other personal details. </span></p>
  236. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">In these kinds of situations, you may tell a simple lie by giving a vague address or making up a fictitious name on the spot. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> may not be considered to be a bad thing since you’d be lying to protect yourself.</span></p>
  237. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">To Protect a Loved One</span></h3>
  238. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Has it ever happened that someone has shared a secret with you, and you weren’t supposed to share it with anyone else? If you do end up keeping the secret, chances are that you will lie at one point or another to prevent the secret from becoming a source of gossip. </span></p>
  239. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This is because people </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">would not always end up lying</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> to save themselves; they might even do it to protect their loved ones from becoming a topic of gossip or being put on </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">the</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> pedestal of shame.</span></p>
  240. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">To Cause Harm And Hurt to Other People</span></h3>
  241. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">When someone lies to you </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">and</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> you later find out about it, it is most definitely a painful and shocking situation. The sad and harsh truth is that often, people lie to hurt your feelings. </span></p>
  242. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">The person may be lying to persuade or manipulate a particular situation, or they might be attempting to gain control over you. </span></p>
  243. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">A perfect example of this type of lying would be if a person would be asking for financial support from you. They may exaggerate some of the details to make the project sound more appealing and feasible for you. </span></p>
  244. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">In the context of dating, people may lie about their profession or age in an attempt to come off as being more attractive and connect with people they would normally not consider mixing with.</span></p>
  245. <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">When Lying is Considered to Be an Unhealthy Habit</span></h2>
  246. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">In terms of lying being considered to be an unhealthy habit, it would be when the other person gets a feeling that you are lying on and off or even repeatedly. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> ultimately affects the ability of the other person to trust you. </span></p>
  247. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">On another note, when the other person is able to see through your lies, this may affect their respect and overall judgment of you. Speaking from a general point of view, people tend to be more accepting of other people’s flaws and imperfections when they are open and honest about them, not when they are always trying their best to conceal them. </span></p>
  248. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Simply put, the best approach is to own up to your imperfections and be proud of them. Even though it may be daunting in the beginning, over time, it could be a release and a liberating feeling to openly admit our mistakes and weaknesses.</span></p>
  249. <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Situations When Lying is Deemed Acceptable and Unacceptable</span></h2>
  250. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">When people lie in order to cover up a surprise, then that is considered to be an acceptable situation. Another one would be lying to cover up a terminal illness or to save someone’s life. However, these kinds of situations would be more related to ethics and morality rather than psychology. </span></p>
  251. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">But if you want to maintain your overall mental and physical well-being, the best option is to try your best not to resort to lies. This is of utmost importance in relationships, as being honest with each other always gives one another better opportunities. This would not only help us improve as distinct individuals but also make the relationship stronger and better in the long run. </span></p>
  252. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Often, when we are honest with each other and ourselves, we come to understand ourselves better and also help the other person overcome our insecurities. This would not be the case if we were always trying to hide things or keep our weaknesses under wraps.</span></p>
  253. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">The best way to move forward is to understand the importance of open and honest communication.</span></p>
  254. <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">What About White Lies?</span></h2>
  255. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Lying is bad, and there is no grey area about it, even if people would be quick to point out white or little lies. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This is because </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">when people tend to engage in lying, it</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> tends to create a gap between two people.</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> </span></p>
  256. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">After all, you won’t be clearly showing the other person what you have actually done, thereby creating a false persona or impression. In the case of relationships, it would mean that you would be missing out on a great opportunity to get to know one another on a more intimate and deeper level.</span></p>
  257. <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Is There a Particular Personality Type That is Prone to Lying?</span></h2>
  258. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">In the case of lying, it’s not necessarily that liars tend to target particular groups of people; it is simply their habit of not telling the truth at all times. That being said, if you come across someone who consistently lies to you, then that would clearly show that they are not very much in touch with themselves. </span></p>
  259. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">As such, they would always resort to lying and making up fake scenarios rather than facing themselves with the bare truth. So, when you look at your past experiences, you will find that it always takes up two people – a person who is being lied to and a person who is lying (also known as the liar).</span></p>
  260. <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Conclusion </span></h2>
  261. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">That being said, it would be quite normal if you would find yourself or someone close to you to lie on and off. After all, it’s something that everyone tends to engage in at some time or another. There is nothing necessarily wrong with that. It just goes on to show that we all are humans with imperfections or flaws. </span></p>
  262. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">However, find yourself resorting to lying about particular situations more frequently than before. It would help if you understood that it’s high time for a reality check. </span></p>
  263. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Furthermore, you could also consider reaching out to a trained therapist who can provide you with guidance about trying to understand yourself better. This will help you take one step closer to telling the truth and being your most authentic self.</span></p>

  282. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Are you always faced with the nagging feeling that your partner is not being completely honest with you? Sometimes, it might be your overactive imagination playing mind games on you. On the other hand, if that niggling and uncertain thought just would not seem to leave you alone, then maybe the best choice would be to trust your gut instinct. In this case, it would be confronting the harsh reality that your partner is being unfaithful to you.</span></p>
  283. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">If that is the case, then the next step is to become an amateur detective on your own and try to unveil all the secrets that your partner may be hiding from you. Hence, this article will discuss the numerous ways in which you&#8217;ll be able to catch a cheater who tends to delete everything. </span></p>
  284. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This guide will also highlight certain red flags that may cause your suspicion and doubts to surface in the first place. Last but not least, this article will </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">touch base</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> on certain no-no&#8217;s that you should refrain from doing when you&#8217;re conducting your private investigation. </span></p>
  285. <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Red Flags That Your Partner May Be Cheating on You</span></h2>
  286. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">According to a renowned licensed family and marriage therapist, Lesli Doares, &#8220;Cheating is an art that is cloaked in secrecy.&#8221; </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> means that the person engaging in cheating would be doing all they can not to raise suspicion in their partner. In other words, they would be trying their utmost best to maintain order, control, and a normal appearance over situations and people.</span></p>
  287. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Hence, when you suspect your partner is cheating on you, one of the first things that you need to do is look for changes in your partner&#8217;s </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">behaviour</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">. According to <a href="https://www.liedetectortest.org/">experts</a>, cheating partners have been known to change their schedules or adopt secret activities and possessions so that they can keep their double lives separate. </span></p>
  288. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">As such, we have listed below some key signs of strange or unusual </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">behaviour</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> that would be expected from an unfaithful partner.</span></p>
  289. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Changes in Appearance</span></h3>
  290. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> could be either getting a new hairstyle or buying new clothes. From a general perspective, your partner would start getting more conscious of their overall appearance and trying to put more effort into improving it.</span></p>
  291. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Suddenly Becoming Conscious About Body Image</span></h3>
  292. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Even though this sign may not always be alarming, it may still seem like a good idea to keep an eye out for this. Your partner may purchase gym supplements, get a gym membership, or even start dieting. All of these actions ultimately help them to appear slimmer and toned.</span></p>
  293. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Delays in Response</span></h3>
  294. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">They won&#8217;t be answering your messages and calls as promptly as they used to. If you call them, they might not pick up, or it might go straight to voicemail.</span></p>
  295. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Changes in Schedule</span></h3>
  296. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Your partner might suddenly be working extremely long hours, always complaining and nagging about all the extra work they have to put in due to a super-strict boss or an extremely big and important project.</span></p>
  297. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Hiding Their Phone</span></h3>
  298. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">They would delete their call log or <a href="https://www.liedetectortest.org/post/signs-hes-cheating-on-his-phone/">hide their phone</a> in your presence.</span></p>
  299. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Suppose these are some of the signs that you witness on a daily basis. In that case, it raises the possibility of you dealing with a cheating partner. However, you would still need more time to jump to conclusions as you would need more proof to build your case.</span></p>
  300. <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Digital Ways to Catch a Cheating Partner</span></h2>
  301. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Touch ID</span></h3>
  302. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Once you have gained access to your partner&#8217;s phone, the first thing you can do is look for a Touch ID feature or something similar. You can then add your fingerprint to the saved prints. In order to prevent raising suspicion, you can delete one of your partner&#8217;s fingerprints. </span></p>
  303. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Keyloggers</span></h3>
  304. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Touted to be one of the cheekiest inventions of the 21st century, this software also comes highly recommended to catch a cheating partner. All you would need to do is install it on your computer, and your partner won&#8217;t even know that it will run in the background. </span></p>
  305. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">The best bit is that it </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">would be able to</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> see the passwords your partner is using, recording all activities, pages they are browsing, and the emails and chats they are sending.</span></p>
  306. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Location History</span></h3>
  307. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">If your partner is using Google to search for locations, then you can go there and check your partner&#8217;s location history. For Android users, you can use the Google Timeline feature for tracking current and previous locations.</span></p>
  308. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Hidden Photo And Audio Files</span></h3>
  309. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Besides hidden messages, your partner will likely be hiding photo and audio files. Suppose your partner is tech-savvy and knows their way around the latest apps and gadgets. In that case, they might be secretly embedding their images into other picture and audio files. </span></p>
  310. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">As such, you might also need to step up your game to crack these innocent pictures and see what&#8217;s underneath.</span></p>
  311. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Checking Their Trash Folder</span></h3>
  312. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">While the general saying goes that everyone has a right to their privacy, if you suspect your partner of being unfaithful, then the trash folder would be the first place you should be peeking in. </span></p>
  313. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">If your partner regularly sends flirtatious texts and photos to someone else, they might have forgotten to delete all their previous conversations. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> would arm you with rock-solid evidence to confront your partner.</span></p>
  314. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Check Cloud</span></h3>
  315. <h3><img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-6012 alignright" src="https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/cloud-storage-e1714678081522-300x203.jpg" alt="" width="332" height="224" srcset="https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/cloud-storage-e1714678081522-300x203.jpg 300w, https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/cloud-storage-e1714678081522-1024x693.jpg 1024w, https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/cloud-storage-e1714678081522-768x519.jpg 768w, https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/cloud-storage-e1714678081522.jpg 1267w" sizes="(max-width: 332px) 100vw, 332px" /></h3>
  316. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">To overcome the drawback of deleted pictures and messages, the Cloud actually comes to the rescue. After all, it&#8217;s quite likely that unfaithful memories may be stored in the Cloud. </span></p>
  317. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">The basic ones include Amazon Prime, Google Drive, or iCloud</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">, whereas the</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> more advanced ones include Hide It Pro, Vault, or Keepsake Photo Vault.</span></p>
  318. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Create a Fake Profile</span></h3>
  319. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Consider creating a fake social media handle to see if your partner falls for the trap. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">You could then</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> consider going a step further by sending an invite and getting flirty to see their responses.</span></p>
  320. <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Other Sneaky Methods of Red-handedly Catching Your Cheating Partner</span></h2>
  321. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">While the digital tactics of catching a cheating partner are undoubtedly useful, there are other psychological techniques that you&#8217;d also be able to apply. Suppose that you have managed to get your hands on some incriminating messages. You can then strike up a conversation about planning for a special weekend and gauge their reaction. Their initial reaction would tell you all they need to know.</span></p>
  322. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Another option is </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">watching</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> for changes in their habits and </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">trying</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> to gather further information about them.</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> In this case, try to engage in eye contact. If they don&#8217;t want to lock eyes with you, that is a dead giveaway that they are not being completely honest with you.</span></p>
  323. <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Major No-no&#8217;s</span></h2>
  324. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">While it&#8217;s extremely important that you uncover the truth to get your peace of mind, it&#8217;s equally important to remain on the safe side. Hence, one of the first rules would be not to accuse your partner of cheating outright. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> will provide your partner with a scope for manipulating you by changing the narrative. Or they might step up their game in an attempt to get you off their back. In certain cases, they might become extremely defensive or even violent.</span></p>
  325. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Other than that, it may not be considered to be a good and safe idea to follow your spouse, even if it would be from a distance. If you really want surveillance on your partner, the best option would be to hire a private detective.</span></p>
  326. <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Bottom Line</span></h2>
  327. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Being <a href="https://www.liedetectortest.org/services/infidelity-lie-detector-test/">unfaithful to your partner</a> is always considered unacceptable, and discovering this fact makes it more distressing. Hence, by following the suggestions outlined in this guide, you will be able to equip yourself with all the skills and knowledge required to first identify a cheating partner and then catch and confront them. </span></p>
  328. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">In addition, be prepared for any curveballs that your partner may throw your way to deter you. In that case, stay strong and hold your ground.</span></p>

  347. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">One of the greatest inventions of the 21st century can undoubtedly be considered the mobile phone. After all, long gone are the days when people used to think about communicating and building relationships with one another through landlines and love letters. With everything available in the palm of their hand, that too with the advent of smartphones, being in touch could not become any easier. </span></p>
  348. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">However, with so many advances and great strides being made in technology, it also raises questions regarding the authenticity and sanctity of relationships. This would particularly be the case if you find people using multiple phones. However, it’s not something that you need to worry about all the time. After all, people can have valid reasons for using two phones—one for their personal life and one for their work life.</span></p>
  349. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Despite that, it would be considered quite normal if having two phones raised questions about honesty and trust in relationships. This would particularly be the case if your partner was completely unaware of your second phone. If so, you have come to just the right place. </span></p>
  350. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This article will provide you with a comprehensive guide about unlocking various reasons why people would have two phones, certain signs you should keep an eye out for, and the steps you can undertake to address the situation.</span></p>
  351. <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Why People Feel the Need to Have Two Phones</span></h2>
  352. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Separating Work and Personal Life</span></h3>
  353. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Using the same phone to attend to your boss, colleagues, friends, and family can pose a problem at times. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> is certainly the case when other calls intrude on your important business work or personal time. </span></p>
  354. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Some people may opt to use two phones so that they can strike a better and healthier work-life balance.</span></p>
  355. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Specific Backup And Functionality</span></h3>
  356. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Only some phones have been known to provide the optimum level of service. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Some have been touted as having excellent battery life, while another </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">one</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> might be able to provide </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">you with better quality</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> images.</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> </span></p>
  357. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">As such, many people will be using different phones to serve their differing purposes, most likely when they are travelling.</span></p>
  358. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Security And Privacy</span></h3>
  359. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">If a person wants to keep their information and activities private from being captured in the main digital footprint, then having two phones is the best option. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">No doubt it will provide you</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> with extra security and privacy.</span></p>
  360. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Infidelity And Deception</span></h3>
  361. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Life experiences will teach you the harsh truth that people tend to possess two phones so that they will be able to keep their deceptive activities hidden, like <a href="https://www.liedetectortest.org/post/multiple-phones-red-flags/">hiding an affair</a> from their partner.</span></p>
  362. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Status And Lifestyle</span></h3>
  363. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Several social media influencers or tech enthusiasts would prefer owning two phones to maintain their luxurious lifestyles, manage multiple social media platforms more efficiently, or stay updated with the latest technological trends.</span></p>
  364. <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Signs That Your Partner May Have a Second Phone</span></h2>
  365. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">When you </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">will be seeing</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> something happening out of the ordinary, there’s no doubt that you’ll be able to pick it up on your radar. It might be your gut instinct trying to send you a message or this tingling and nagging feeling that you might be getting for some time. </span></p>
  366. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">If your partner has two phones, there might be some unusual habits that you’ll be able to pick up on over time. The best option is to know the signs to look out for to make yourself more aware and educated about the situation.</span></p>
  367. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Receiving Messages and Calls at Odd Hours</span></h3>
  368. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">There is absolutely nothing more annoying than receiving calls and messages at ungodly hours. So, if your partner receives calls and messages during these odd hours, it may be a sign of them having a second phone—a definite red flag in a relationship. </span></p>
  369. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This red flag would be further strengthened when they won’t swiftly respond to the text or receive the call without providing any coherent explanation. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Even when you </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">would</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> ask, they </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">would end up deflecting</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> the question and </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">providing</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> vague answers.</span></p>
  370. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Increased Protection Over Their Personal Belongings</span></h3>
  371. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Your partner may suddenly become overprotective regarding their personal possessions. So, certain common hiding places that you could keep in mind regarding your partner hiding their second phone would be his bags, pants with pockets, jackets, and locked or hidden drawers.</span></p>
  372. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Financial Transactions Which Can’t Be Straightforwardly Explained</span></h3>
  373. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">If you encounter charges, receipts, or bank statements for phone accessories, phone devices, or similar items, it is quite likely that your partner has a second phone that you are unaware of.</span></p>
  374. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Changes in Behaviour Regarding Receiving and Taking Phone Calls</span></h3>
  375. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Recently, your partner may have noticed a noticeable shift in the way they receive and make calls. This could be like asking for privacy for every call or talking in such a manner that you won’t be able to decipher the topic or content of the conversation. </span></p>
  376. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This kind of behaviour would be a tell-tale sign that your partner may be hiding a second phone from you.</span></p>
  377. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Anxious Reactions to Receiving Notifications</span></h3>
  378. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">If your partner exhibits a heightened sense of anxiety or urgency whenever a notification pops up on their phone </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">or</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> they quickly attempt to silence it, it could mean that they are receiving calls or messages that they would prefer to keep private. </span></p>
  379. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Even though the sensible thing would be to not always jump to conclusions, you would also have to entertain the disturbing thought that your partner may have two mobile phones. </span></p>
  380. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">After all, according to <a href="https://www.liedetectortest.org">relationship experts</a>, this kind of behaviour would be regarded as being an obvious red flag, thereby increasing the possibility of your partner having two phones.</span></p>
  381. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Deliberately Avoiding Keeping Their Phone Visible in Front of Their Partner</span></h3>
  382. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">When your partner has a second phone, and you are aware of it, he might always keep the brightness level to the lowest point, consistently place his phone lying down, or take extra steps to keep the phone out of your reach. </span></p>
  383. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">On the other hand, the opposite behaviour is also unusual. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> would be if your partner showed you everything, but you would see that there would be no unusual calls or text messages. It would be as if everything has been wiped clean or displayed in such a way so as not to raise suspicion.</span></p>

  385. <p><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-6006 aligncenter" src="https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Phone-Accessories--300x198.jpg" alt="" width="356" height="235" srcset="https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Phone-Accessories--300x198.jpg 300w, https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Phone-Accessories--1024x675.jpg 1024w, https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Phone-Accessories--768x506.jpg 768w, https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Phone-Accessories-.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 356px) 100vw, 356px" /><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Finding discrepancies, such as earphones, chargers, or any other accessories that would be compatible with your partner’s current phone, would suggest the existence of a second phone.</span></p>
  386. <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Steps to Address the Situation</span></h2>
  387. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Finding out that your partner has two phones, too, without your knowledge, can be a tough one to confront and handle. However, like all other issues that may crop up in a relationship, this one also needs to be handled with utmost care and patience.</span></p>
  388. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">First of all, as with any tough spot, honest and open communication is recommended. Make sure to do it at a neutral time and with a calm composure. Also, try not to begin the conversation by adopting an accusatory tone. Express how worried and concerned you are without trying to shift blame onto your partner.</span></p>
  389. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Try not to act like your trust has been shattered; rather, try to stress the importance of the honesty and trust that needs to be maintained in your relationship. Try to make your partner understand the perspective that you are coming from to ensure that openness and mutual respect are maintained between the both of you. </span></p>
  390. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Lastly, if you genuinely find out that your partner has a second phone, it is of utmost importance that you discuss the underlying issues. The reason could be anything – work requirements, requiring separate and uninterrupted space, or virtually anything else. </span></p>
  391. <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Final thoughts</span></h2>
  392. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">The bottom line is that you need to respect your partner’s side of the story, consider their needs, and work together to reach a solution and a compromise.</span></p>

  411. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">The majority of us would admit to lying occasionally. After all, we don’t consider it a big deal. Maybe we have told a lie to protect a loved one’s feelings, or we may have exaggerated the truth to get out of something we have been avoiding for so long or even to prevent a major conflict from breaking out. </span></p>
  412. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">However, the truth is that lying is not considered to be an ideal strategy, regardless of what kind of situation you might find yourself in. On the other hand, when lying tends to become a habit, it is at that point that it becomes a major problem. The problem would be further compounded when other signs of being a pathological liar would also be present. In short, it would be safe to say that it would be a mental health issue that would be causing the pathological liar to behave in this manner.</span></p>
  413. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true"><a href="https://www.liedetectortest.org/post/psychology-of-pathological-liars/">A pathological liar</a> would be considered to be an individual who would not only frequently lie but would always feel a need or compulsion to lie. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> means that these kinds of people won’t be able to stop lying even when it would create problems with work or relationships, put them in danger, or cause them psychological distress. The most upsetting bit is that pathological lying is a habit that tends to begin early – in adolescence and early adulthood years.</span></p>
  414. <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Definition of a Pathological Liar</span></h2>
  415. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">A pathological liar can be defined as an individual who not only frequently lies but also has little to no regard for the consequences that their lies and deceitful behaviour would cause. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> means that they would resort to lying to anyone about anything, regardless of it being small or big, vague or detailed.</span></p>
  416. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">It would be for this reason that pathological lying has been known to significantly impair overall functioning, along with professional and social lives.</span></p>
  417. <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Signs of a Pathological Liar                                                                                      </span></h2>
  418. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Hiding Behind Vague Statements and Untruths</span></h3>
  419. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">A pathological liar has been known to hide behind patterns of vague statements and untruths.</span></p>
  420. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Blending False Stories With the Truth</span></h3>
  421. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Pathological liars also tend to blend false stories with the truth. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> then makes it extremely difficult for the other person to discern the truth from the false story. </span></p>
  422. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Appear Entirely Indifferent or Unremorseful</span></h3>
  423. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Even when the pathological liar would be confronted, they may appear to be entirely unremorseful or indifferent. </span></p>
  424. <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">What Makes a Pathological Liar Different From Other Liars?</span></h2>
  425. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">A significant difference could be witnessed between a pathological liar and other kinds of liars. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> is because a white lie would generally be told without having any ill feelings. As such, they are generally considered to be harmless.</span></p>
  426. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">On the other hand, pathological lies are considered to be complex, compulsive, continuous, and one that would be taking place without any rhyme or reason. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> could include making up a fictional relationship, creating a false personal history, or claiming to be suffering from a terminal illness. When a pathological liar would be questioned further, they might give detailed or quick responses</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">, but upon</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> further prodding, you would find them to become very vague. Despite frustration or scepticism from other people regarding the lack of truthfulness, pathological liars have often been known to display little to no remorse.</span></p>
  427. <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Causes of Pathological Lying</span></h2>
  428. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Pathological lying cannot be attributed to one particular cause as multiple factors could contribute towards its development. For instance, a person could be lying for sympathy and attention. Or it might even happen that if a person is suffering from a severe substance use disorder, then they might specifically lie to cover up their substance abuse.</span></p>
  429. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Besides that, there are several other causes of pathological lying:</span></p>
  430. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Lying Becoming a Compulsion</span></h3>
  431. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">For some kinds of people, lying tends to become a habit and a compulsion in an attempt to deal with difficult life situations or painful thoughts. In these kinds of situations, pathological lying would be taking place completely out of the sphere of consciousness of the individual.</span></p>
  432. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Munchausen Syndrome</span></h3>
  433. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Some of the pathological liars have been known to struggle with Munchausen syndrome. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> would be regarded as a condition where a person would be suffering from a made-up illness in an attempt to gain attention and sympathy from those around them.</span></p>
  434. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Childhood Trauma</span></h3>
  435. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Compulsive lying and childhood trauma have been known to go hand in hand, according to experts. Here, individuals would learn how to cope with the pain of their childhood by taking up the habit of pathological lying.</span></p>
  436. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Personality Disorder</span></h3>
  437. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Certain kinds of personality disorders, like narcissistic personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder, have been known to create pathological liars. The case of antisocial personality disorder would be characterized by a constant disregard for other people’s emotions, along with applying manipulative tactics for selfish benefits and rewards.</span></p>
  438. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Substance Abuse</span></h3>
  439. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Substance abuse could also influence pathological lying. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> is because addiction to any substance would cause a person to adopt maladaptive coping behaviours despite the negative consequences it would entail.</span></p>
  440. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Low Self-esteem</span></h3>
  441. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Pathological liars have been known to lie to improve their low self-esteem. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> would be in the form of making themselves appear more powerful so that they would be able to create and maintain some form of control in their lives.</span></p>
  442. <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">How Pathological Lying Affects Relationships</span><img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-5996 alignright" src="https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/How-Pathological-Lying-Affects-Relationships-300x198.jpg" alt="" width="399" height="263" srcset="https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/How-Pathological-Lying-Affects-Relationships-300x198.jpg 300w, https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/How-Pathological-Lying-Affects-Relationships-1024x675.jpg 1024w, https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/How-Pathological-Lying-Affects-Relationships-768x506.jpg 768w, https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/How-Pathological-Lying-Affects-Relationships.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 399px) 100vw, 399px" /></h2>
  443. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">As you would have understood by now, pathological liars typically face major problems in maintaining relationships, both romantic and friendship. During the beginning of a relationship, a person who is constantly being lied to would definitely understand that something isn’t adding up. </span></p>
  444. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Over time, if this kind of behaviour would continue (consistently being lied to), then it would tend to create feelings of confusion, hurt, anger, and frustration.</span></p>
  445. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">It is for this reason that building and maintaining trust with a pathological liar would be considered difficult, in extreme cases, even impossible. Certain people have compared the feeling to gaslighting – constantly questioning oneself about what is real and what is not. Furthermore, compulsive or pathological lying could also be considered to be a significant part of an abusive relationship.</span></p>
  446. <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">How to Deal With a Pathological Liar</span></h2>
  447. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">The best options for dealing with pathological liars would be to set realistic goals, prepare for denial, or build up your case. In extreme cases, completely cutting off contact with the pathological liar would be considered to be the best option. </span></p>
  448. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">If it’s truly a loved one, then maybe you can convince them to <a href="https://www.liedetectortest.org/">seek professional help</a> for their pathological lying habits. If luck favours, they may be able to see the error in their behaviours and thereby make long-term healthy improvements.</span></p>
  449. <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Final Thoughts</span></h2>
  450. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">In conclusion, individuals who do not get their needs met at an early age often adopt lying as a coping mechanism. This is done in an attempt to receive the reassurance and love that they crave so much. </span></p>
  451. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Even though not every case of a pathological liar would be considered to be extreme, therapy could undoubtedly prove to be helpful. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> could help people in becoming more aware and educated about the reasons for which they lie, along with their lying patterns. Not only that, treatment could also help them in addressing childhood traumas and underlying mental health disorders. </span></p>
  452. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">With continuous treatment and help and support from loved ones, it might become possible for pathological liars to overcome their childhood trauma and work towards becoming better versions of themselves.</span></p>

  471. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> </span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Lying has been found to be a common feature amongst social creatures like us humans. The fact that lies would always be considered to be harmful would also not be the case. In certain cases, lying has been found to be beneficial. For example, a person may lie to cover up their social embarrassment. Other people could be found to lie a tad bit more, but that does not in any way signify that they would be suffering from an underlying mental health condition.</span></p>
  472. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">In the case of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathological_lying">pathological lying</a>, it could be considered to be a whole new ball game. In the case of pathological liars, it would most definitely be a symptom of an underlying mental health condition, like a person who has a personality disorder.</span></p>
  473. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">That being said, this article will discuss the concept of pathological lying and what tends to make pathological liars at great length. Furthermore, this article will explain how to recognize these kinds of liars so that you will be able to cope better with these people.</span></p>
  474. <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Characteristics of Pathological Liars</span></h2>
  475. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">To get to the main point, we will just be looking at the four main types of </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">behaviours</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> if you are trying to determine if a person can be considered to be a pathological liar or not.</span></p>
  476. <h3>1. Excessive Lying</h3>
  477. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Pathological liars are singled out as opposed to other liars because they tend to lie more than other people. In fact, some of them have been known to make such fantastic stories that you would actually end up believing them. What’s more, they would also add more credibility to their original lies. However, the lies they tend to tell can be easily disproved since they are so outlandish.</span></p>
  478. <h3>2. Lying Without Having Any Good Reason for It</h3>
  479. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Some people have been known to tell small or white lies so that they would be able to avoid unpleasant consequences. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> could be making up an excuse for being late to work rather than outright admitting that they overslept. However, as would be the case with pathological liars, they would not have any one set motive. They would tell stories that would have no direct benefit to them. What’s more, if the truth were to come out, it might, in turn, hurt and discredit their image.</span></p>
  480. <h3>3. Long-term Problem</h3>
  481. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Pathological lying is a condition that has most definitely not developed overnight. It would often begin during the adolescence or teenage years and has been known to continue indefinitely, encompassing various aspects of life. In fact, it would actually be dishonest that people would remember the most accurately about them.</span></p>
  482. <h3>4. The Lying Cannot Be Considered to Be a Symptom of Any Other Mental Disorder</h3>
  483. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">It might be quite possible that a pathological liar would be suffering from other kinds of mental health conditions like anxiety or depression. However, that cannot be attributed to their cause of lying. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> is because pathological lying would be defined as a main condition and not a symptom of any other mental health condition.</span></p>
  484. <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">How To Cope With Pathological Liars</span></h2>
  485. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Coping with an individual who has <a href="https://www.liedetectortest.org/post/how-to-deal-with-liars/">a habit of pathological lying</a> could indeed be considered to be a challenging situation. As such, forming a relationship and then maintaining it could require immense patience and time on your part.</span></p>
  486. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">However, the most important thing to remember is that a pathological liar would not intend to benefit from the lies they are telling or even cause harm to other people. </span></p>
  487. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Put simply, pathological lying would simply become a compulsion—the person feels that they won’t be able to breathe if they don’t tell a lie. The sad part is that the pathological liar would fail to recognize that their lies would lead to negative results and consequences. </span></p>
  488. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">As such, you need to be the bigger person and keep an open mind when dealing with pathological liars. This means blaming them for the lies they tell or angrily responding by bursting out.</span></p>
  489. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Furthermore, it is also helpful to remember that pathological lying is likely a sign of an underlying mental health condition. In that case, speaking to the person to find out if they would have any other symptoms could help in narrowing down the problem. It would also then become easier to seek help from a therapist or a specialized doctor.</span></p>
  490. <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Diagnosis</span></h2>
  491. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Even though pathological lying has not yet formally been diagnosed, a therapist would still be able to recognize the symptoms and signs as being of another underlying health condition, like an artificial disorder or a personality disorder.</span></p>
  492. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">The difficult bit is that these kinds of disorders have also been known to have overlapping symptoms, including compulsive or pathological lying. It would be quite likely that people suffering from these conditions would also be exhibiting other signs.</span></p>
  493. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">On the other hand, it would also be likely that pathological lying could be considered to be an independent symptom. For instance, some people may engage in the act of pathological lying without suffering from any pre-existing mental health condition. </span></p>
  494. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">It is for this reason that it then becomes challenging for therapists to determine whether someone would be pathologically lying accurately, as there would be no biological or psychological tests that have been specifically designed for this purpose.</span></p>
  495. <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Treatment For Pathological Lying</span></h2>
  496. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">As mentioned before, pathological lying is not considered a recognized condition. This means that no formal treatments also exist for it. So, if a doctor suspects an underlying condition causing the lying, then they may suggest a treatment for that particular condition. For instance, treatments designed for personality disorders usually tend to involve medication or psychotherapy.</span></p>
  497. <p><img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-5988 alignright" src="https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/pathologival-liars-treatment-counselling-300x198.jpg" alt="" width="327" height="216" srcset="https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/pathologival-liars-treatment-counselling-300x198.jpg 300w, https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/pathologival-liars-treatment-counselling-1024x675.jpg 1024w, https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/pathologival-liars-treatment-counselling-768x506.jpg 768w, https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/pathologival-liars-treatment-counselling.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 327px) 100vw, 327px" /></p>
  498. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Since pathological lying is also considered harmful to other people, <a href="https://www.liedetectortest.org/">the therapist</a> may suggest that a person close to the pathological liar seek treatment as well. The therapist will work closely with them to better manage their responses to the main problem.</span></p>
  499. <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Bottom Line</span></h2>
  500. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Pathological lying would not benefit any of the parties involved; rather, it would lead to harm. Hence, it’s important to keep in mind that lying becoming a compulsive habit and not being a recognized condition would mean that no formal treatments would exist for it. </span></p>
  501. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">The best option is to seek counseling from a therapist who can help you better understand your problem and work towards solving it.</span></p>

  520. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Compulsive Lying Disorder, also commonly known as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathological_lying">pathological lying</a>, can be regarded as a complex problem that will be defined by an uncontrollable urge to lie. This is despite encountering situations that will be deemed to be unnecessary.</p>
  521. <p>Even though the occasional white or small lie is still considered acceptable, compulsive lying has been known to go beyond that. In fact, compulsive lying can become such a habit that it can significantly impact a person’s personal relationships and life.</p>
  522. <p>That being said, this article will offer its readers a comprehensive guide outlining what the disorder entails and why and how it differs from other kinds of lying. In addition, this article will explore its symptoms, proper diagnosis, and treatment. This article will prove to be particularly helpful for people who have recognized that they are living with this complicated condition. So, without further ado, let’s begin!</p>
  523. <div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe title="The Hidden World of Compulsive Lying Disorder!" width="1200" height="675" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OLome2sSJUE?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
  524. <h2>What is Compulsive Lying Disorder?</h2>
  525. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Compulsive Lying Disorder can be described as a psychological or mental condition wherein a person will make lying a daily part of their life. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> is despite the fact that their lying tendency will offer no personal benefit or that there will be any consequences if they tell the truth.</span></p>
  526. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">When talking about compulsive lying, one might imagine that the liar will be conjuring elaborate and grandiose lies. However, that may not always be the case; in a lot of cases, the lies have been found to be trivial and mundane. So, unlike the lies that normal people usually tell to avoid embarrassment or punishment, compulsive liars tend to tell their lies without having any clear form or purpose.</span></p>
  527. <h2>How Does Compulsive Lying Differ from Other Lying Behaviours?</h2>
  528. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This section will talk about unearthing several reasons why compulsive lying tends to differ from other kinds of lying </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">behaviours</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">:</span></p>
  529. <p><b>Frequency and Habitual Nature</b><span style="font-weight: 400">: <span data-preserver-spaces="true"> </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">The main defining characteristic of compulsive lying is the frequency with which people tend to lie, making it a daily habit or routine of their lives. Unlike the occasional white lies that people tend to say to avoid embarrassment or punishment, compulsive lying can be found to be different. A lie is considered to be compulsive when it’s displayed consistently, thereby blurring the lines existing between falsehood and truth.</span></span></p>
  530. <p><b>Lack of Clear Motive or Benefit</b><span style="font-weight: 400">: <span data-preserver-spaces="true">One of the most mysterious characteristics of compulsive lying is the lack of a clear motive. In the case of normal lies, they are usually told for a specific reason, like gaining some form of advantage or protecting one’s self-image. However, in the context of compulsive lying, these lies are often told without any personal benefits. In fact, in the majority of cases, it would actually prove to be counterproductive for the liar.</span></span></p>
  531. <p><b>Involuntary Nature of the Lies</b><span style="font-weight: 400">: <span data-preserver-spaces="true">Since compulsive lying tends to take place without little planning or thought, it’s considered to be involuntary. As such, it can be found to be vastly different from the more deliberate and calculated lies that people tend to tell when they are trying to manipulate an outcome or situation in their favor.</span></span></p>
  532. <p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Broad Scope of the Lies</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">:  Lies told by compulsive liars have been known to encompass a wide range of topics, from major events to minor and simple details. This kind of broad scope would vastly differ from the targeted lies, whose main intent would be to manipulate or deceive people in specific situations.</span></p>
  533. <p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Negative Impact on the Liar</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">:  Situational or strategic lying might provide the liar with temporary benefits by helping them get out of difficult situations. On the other hand, compulsive lying can lead to negative consequences. Tarnished trust can significantly impair relationships, thereby isolating the liar from their professional and social circles. </span></p>
  534. <p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Underlying Psychological Issues</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">:  According to research, compulsive lying has been found to be deeply associated with psychological problems. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> is also another reason why it can be so distinctively contrasted with other kinds of lying.</span></p>
  535. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Individuals suffering from compulsive lying disorder frequently lie about minor and major things. This is also true in situations when telling the truth would be more beneficial and easier. As such, this pattern of lying is not driven by the typical motivations of being dishonest, like gaining material benefits or avoiding punishment.</span></p>
  536. <h3>Inconsistencies in Stories</h3>
  537. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">A trademark sign of compulsive lying is the lack of consistency in the stories being told. Over time, the details of the stories may contradict each other, with the versions changing every time they are told. This kind of discrepancy usually arises because the stories are fabricated. As such, it becomes difficult to maintain a consistent narrative over a long time.</span></p>
  538. <h3>Lack of Remorse or Guilt</h3>
  539. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">People who usually tend to lie may often feel remorseful or guilty after telling their lies. On the contrary, compulsive liars exhibit a lack of guilt or remorse. Even when their lies are exposed, you cannot expect them to show the expected emotional reaction that will be associated with telling a lie. </span></p>
  540. <h3>Defensiveness When Confronted</h3>
  541. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">If someone counteracts their statements, compulsive liars immediately become defensive. They become overly protective of their lies and may sometimes respond with aggression or hostility. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> is an attempt to deflect further questioning rather than simply admitting that they are lying in the first place. </span></p>
  542. <h3>Seeking Attention or Sympathy</h3>
  543. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Another major motivation for compulsive lying is a desire to gain admiration, attract attention, or gain sympathy from others. Hence, these lies are often crafted to make the person appear more victimized, successful, or interesting than they are in reality. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> is often to fulfill a psychological or emotional need.</span></p>
  544. <h3>Compulsion to Continue Lying</h3>
  545. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Even when caught lying, a compulsive liar will always have an overwhelming urge to either create new lies or maintain their deceitful image. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> could further lead to more elaborate tales being made up in an attempt to cover up previous lies.</span></p>
  546. <h3>Difficulty with Trustworthy Relationships</h3>
  547. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">With such a huge trust factor existing in Compulsive Lying Disorder, it tends to severely undermine the ability of the individual to form and then maintain trust-based, long-term, and healthy relationships. As such, peers, family members, and friends have often found it difficult to form and maintain long-lasting relationships with compulsive liars. This would ultimately result in broken or strained relationships.</span></p>
  548. <h3>Low Self-esteem</h3>
  549. <h3><img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-5979 alignright" src="https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Low-Self-esteem-300x198.jpg" alt="" width="363" height="240" srcset="https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Low-Self-esteem-300x198.jpg 300w, https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Low-Self-esteem-1024x675.jpg 1024w, https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Low-Self-esteem-768x506.jpg 768w, https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Low-Self-esteem.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 363px) 100vw, 363px" /></h3>
  550. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Underlying issues like a constant need for approval or low self-esteem would also be found to be common among compulsive liars. Their lying </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">behaviour</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> could be found to be a misguided attempt to gain the acceptance and admiration they so badly crave or enhance their self-image. </span></p>
  551. <h3>Avoidance of Eye Contact</h3>
  552. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Even though it might not be considered </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">to be</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> a universal sign, some people suffering from Compulsive Lying Disorder may exhibit nonverbal cues like avoiding making eye contact when they are lying. However, it </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">would also be</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> important to keep in mind that nonverbal cues can greatly differ among </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">different</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> individuals.</span></p>
  553. <h3>Impulsive Behavior</h3>
  554. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true"><a href="https://www.liedetectortest.org/post/the-psychology-of-lying/">Compulsive lying</a>&#8216;s impulsive nature could also be a distinct sign. As such, it is usually done without carefully considering the consequences.</span></p>
  555. <h2>Diagnosis and Treatment</h2>
  556. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">It’s also important to take a look at the diagnosis and proper treatment for compulsive lying disorder.</span></p>
  557. <h3>Diagnosis</h3>
  558. <ul>
  559. <li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Clinical Evaluation</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">:  This involves thorough assessments and interviews conducted by mental health professionals. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> is done to better gauge and understand the individual&#8217;s history and behavior patterns.</span></li>
  560. <li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Differentiating from Other Disorders</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">: Careful thought and consideration are given to highlight differences between compulsive lying and other kinds of mental health conditions, like personality disorders.</span></li>
  561. <li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Rule Out Secondary Gains </span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">It&#8217;s also important to make sure that lying will not primarily be done for gain, like avoiding legal trouble or gaining monetary benefits.</span></li>
  562. <li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Assessment of Impact: </span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Evaluation is also done to determine how lying affects a person&#8217;s social, professional, and personal life.</span></li>
  563. </ul>
  564. <h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Treatment</span></h3>
  565. <ul>
  566. <li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">: This form of therapy will help individuals to identify their lying patterns and </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">behaviours</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> and understand the underlying triggers. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> can then help develop healthier coping mechanisms in the long term.</span></li>
  567. <li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Psychotherapy</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">: Psychotherapy will help in addressing hidden or underlying issues like trauma or low self-esteem, which may contribute to compulsive lying.</span></li>
  568. <li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Family Therapy</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">: Family therapy may be recommended for individuals where it&#8217;s been found that family dynamics will play an important role in influencing </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">behaviour</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">. As such, family therapy can help in rebuilding trust and improving communication</span></li>
  569. <li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Medication:  </span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Even though no specific medications can be prescribed for compulsive lying, certain treatments may include giving medication for underlying disorders like depression or anxiety.</span></li>
  570. <li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Support Groups</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">: Being a part of a support group can offer coping strategies or a support network. </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> is because it provides an opportunity for people experiencing similar challenges to connect and share their personal experiences.</span></li>
  571. <li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Consistent Follow-up</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">: Regular meetings with a healthcare <a href="https://www.liedetectortest.org/">professional</a> are extremely important to monitor progress and also adjust the treatment as would be considered to be necessary.</span></li>
  572. </ul>
  573. <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Conclusion</span></h2>
  574. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Therefore, Compulsive lying disorder can be characterized as a complex condition not only affecting the individual but also the relationships they share with others. As such, understanding and then acknowledging this disorder can be considered to be the first step to overcoming its challenges.</span></p>
  575. <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">With the right treatment and support, the people suffering from this condition can then work towards integrity and honesty in their communications. Overall, this will then help them in improving the quality of their relationships and life.</span></p>

  594. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Cheating is nothing but a crime and no one, simply, no one on earth deserves to face something like that in a relationship. A guy who cheats obviously won’t reveal it but there are clear-cut signs that may speak against him.</span></p>
  595. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Getting angry for no reason, changing passwords, less intimate interactions, etc. are some of a guy&#8217;s most common and notable attributes when he cheats. Though these are some of the most seen signs, they can be deceiving as well. </span></p>
  596. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Here, we will be talking about some of those things that you should have a look at if you find your boyfriend or husband <a href="https://www.liedetectortest.org/services/infidelity-lie-detector-test/">behaving suspiciously</a>. So, let the discussion begin. </span></p>
  597. <div class="ast-oembed-container"><iframe title="Caught in the Act? How Men React When They&#039;re Cheating!" width="1200" height="675" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iLC5VtRrjUQ?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
  598. <h2>How A Guy Acts After He Cheated: Key Things to Observe</h2>
  599. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">When it comes to cheating, ‘change’ is the only thing that will work as an indicator. Change is an element that will make you look at certain unusual activities and if your suspicion is right, it may lead you to the conclusion. As a lot of new unwanted patterns will take place in a situation like that, you will be able to get to a distinct situation very easily. </span></p>
  600. <h3>Lack of Interaction</h3>
  601. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">The very first attribute that may grab your attention is that your husband or boyfriend will start to interact with you a lot less than before. The thing is, he is already in a state where he is getting all the fun and desired elements. So, for him, there is no spark left. That’s why he is cheating, isn’t he? </span><span style="font-weight: 400"><br />
  602. </span></p>
  603. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Let’s keep all those rational theories aside and get straight to the point. As your partner is cheating on you, his entire focus is on someone else. That’s why, he will subconsciously choose not to interact with you in a usual manner. He will be less romantic, and less attentive towards you.</span></p>
  604. <h3>Less Participation In Sexual Activities</h3>
  605. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">When your partner is already cheating on you, he will lessen his participation with you in sexual activities. In most cases, sexual lust plays one of the driving forces to cheat. Also, as sexual activities are more than physical urges, he is definitely getting the emotional elements from his source. So, from his perspective, he is in a better love-making zone. At least, it’s a zone that he chose to be in.</span><span style="font-weight: 400"><br />
  606. </span></p>
  607. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">His focus is not on you, he is distracted-eventually it will make him look away from you in terms of sexual or intimate activities. It’s like a continuous cycle. </span></p>
  608. <h3>Behavioral Changes</h3>
  609. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">This is in my opinion, one of the worst changes as it plays the role of a red flag indicator but still it’s pretty unclear and that’s what causes a suffocating state. The regular way of dealing with you won’t be there anymore. He may become unnecessarily angry and rough as well.</span></p>
  610. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">The thing is, his whole persona will change. At least, the way he used to interact with you will be changed. This particular attribute is pretty hard to specify as it differs from person to person. </span></p>
  611. <h3>Becomes More Insecure</h3>
  612. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">One of the ironical signs of a cheater is that he starts to suspect his partner. In plain words, a cheater thinks his partner is also cheating him or has the potential to cheat him. Well, to be completely rational, every person on earth has the potential to cheat but they choose not to.</span><span style="font-weight: 400"><br />
  613. </span></p>
  614. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">But a cheater mostly thinks that his partner is also cheating on him. So, he will start to show more insecure reactions towards you in a frequent manner. </span></p>
  615. <h3>Unusual Reactive Behaviour</h3>
  616. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Another key aspect is that your boyfriend or husband will become more reactive. Anger, exaggerating fights, etc. are some of the common acts that you may witness from him. Tiny matters or very silly mistakes may make him react in such a way that isn’t usual for him.</span><span style="font-weight: 400"><br />
  617. </span></p>
  618. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">This whole thing is like a defense mechanism for him to justify his act. In his mind, he is telling himself that as these issues are present in his relationship with you- so, his doing the wrong thing is completely fine as he isn’t getting what he desires.</span></p>
  619. <h3>Irregular Patterns in Credit Card Bills and Bank Statements</h3>
  620. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">As you guys are already a couple, there is a huge possibility that you can access his transaction history. If you see frequent unusual bills and if those expenses don’t have any correlation with you or the people associated with you or him, or his family or friends, or simply the house you live in then you can take it as a sign of something unpleasant. </span><span style="font-weight: 400"><br />
  621. </span></p>
  622. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">There is a chance that those expenses are for some noble cause. But it’s always better to be sure about everything. That’s why before coming to a conclusion, try your best to do the fact-checking.</span></p>
  623. <h3>Starts to Lie More Often</h3>
  624. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Unfortunately, he will start lying to you more often. He will surely utilize lying as a tool to take care of the heinous act that he is committing. Whatever he does, he will start covering it up with lying.</span></p>
  625. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">In some cases, the lies will be so generic and vague that it won’t take a long time for you to find the loopholes in them. </span><span style="font-weight: 400"><br />
  626. </span></p>
  627. <h3>Changing Phone and Social Media Passwords<b><br />
  628. </b><b></b></h3>
  629. <p><img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-5961 alignright" src="https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/changing-social-media-password-300x198.jpg" alt="" width="515" height="340" srcset="https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/changing-social-media-password-300x198.jpg 300w, https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/changing-social-media-password-1024x675.jpg 1024w, https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/changing-social-media-password-768x506.jpg 768w, https://www.liedetectortest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/changing-social-media-password.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 515px) 100vw, 515px" /><span style="font-weight: 400">In this era, technology is the easiest medium that will be used in the first place regarding almost anything. For sure, he is using <a href="https://www.liedetectortest.org/post/signs-hes-cheating-on-his-phone/">his phone and social media for cheating. </a></span><span style="font-weight: 400"><br />
  630. </span></p>
  631. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">To be protected from the consequences, you may notice that he will end up changing his social media and phone passwords. It’s pretty expected that he may come up with excuses like he gets office emails or work-related stuff that has to be kept confidential. </span><span style="font-weight: 400"><br />
  632. </span></p>
  633. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">If from the very beginning of your relationship, you keep these things private then that’s okay. But if it’s sudden, then you can think of taking it as a sign. </span><span style="font-weight: 400"><br />
  634. </span></p>
  635. <h3>Vague Response Regarding His Time Schedule</h3>
  636. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">He is never sure of his plans. In short, he isn’t free at all. He will always keep you on hold whenever you try to come up with a weekend plan or ask him to watch a movie with you. </span><span style="font-weight: 400"><br />
  637. </span></p>
  638. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Before confirming anything, he will make sure there isn’t any plan on that specific day with the one he is cheating on you. If everything is clear and good to go, he will give his time to you. </span><span style="font-weight: 400"><br />
  639. </span><b></b></p>
  640. <h3>A Side Note</h3>
  641. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">All the things that we have discussed so far are some of the most commonly <a href="https://www.liedetectortest.org/post/signs-he-might-cheat-again/">witnessed signs</a> that a guy who is cheating shows. Though they are usual, there is always room for exception and obviously, these signs don’t guarantee anything. </span><span style="font-weight: 400"><br />
  642. </span></p>
  643. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">These signs are merely indicators. So, before jumping to a conclusion, make sure you are completely sure of what he is actually doing as sometimes these attributes may take place naturally in a person. </span></p>
  644. <h2>Let’s Wrap It Up</h2>
  645. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">It’s very painful for someone to deal with cheating. As we said earlier, it’s a crime and should never be done to anybody. The sad part is, no matter how the situation is, the door of doing the right thing is always on and no matter what sort of justification someone comes up with, a wrong act will always be a wrong act. </span><span style="font-weight: 400"><br />
  646. </span></p>
  647. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">But, in a lot of cases, some people are very over-conscious about their partners and they are always on their nerves. In those scenarios, they may unwantedly end up making things a bit suffocating for the other person. So, keep that in mind before making a chaotic move. </span><span style="font-weight: 400"><br />
  648. </span></p>
  649. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">You can also consult with your family and friends regarding this issue. If you still believe he is cheating on you then talk to him directly as this may bring effective solutions for both of you.</span></p>
