Suspecting that your partner isn't being faithful can leave you questioning everything about the relationship.
Being in love and involved with a person you can't trust can only lead to deep heartbreak.
Naturally you should always rely on your gut instinct if you believe the person you love has become involved intimately with another, but that's obviously not enough to confront them with.
Learning how to tell if someone is lying about cheating will help you to see through their dishonesty and get to the real truth.
Knowing how to tell if someone is lying about cheating is all about their body language.
Even though your partner may be standing right in front of you while telling you they're not cheating, their body language may suggest something else.
One example is where they stand when you ask them about their fidelity.
If they are positioned in a spot that allows for something to be between you two, that may be a clue that they're not being as direct as they should be.
Also, pay special attention to how their body is situated in relation to yours.
If they are looking to the side or sitting so they're not directly across from you, that's typical of a liar.
You also need to look at their hands when they are telling you that they haven't taken on a new lover.
When a person is being genuinely honest, their hands will typically be relaxed and open.
They may have them sitting on their lap, or touching your shoulder, back or arm.
A liar is on the defensive and their hands are usually indicative of that.
It's not unusual for a cheater to have their arms crossed on their chest or clenched tightly together when they are being asked about their affair.
They're trying to protect themselves and the way they hold their hands is a clear sign of that.
