Tips On How To Deal With A Lying Spouse

In order for a marriage to work, both spouses must maintain an open and honest communication with each other devoid of lying. This is the foundation of trust in a marriage.

But when one of the parties is lying, it can break down that very foundation you’ve built your marriage on. Here are some helpful tips on how to deal with a lying spouse.

Review his/her lying pattern

One of the best ways to approach a lying spouse situation is to analyze the patterns of his lie. It’s not a good idea to lash out at your spouse right away. Try to gather information about why he lies and what he lies about first.

Don’t blame yourself

A lot of spouses tend to think inwardly when they find out that their partner is lying. By not blaming yourself for what happened or the choices your partner has made, you will be able to think clearly on how you can address the situation.

Work it out as a couple

It’s normal to want to deal with this issue on your own. After all, you are probably still full of resentment towards your spouse for lying to you. However, communication is more important now than ever.

Assess how it has affected your marriage

With the lie exposed, it is time to assess how your marriage is affected by your spouse’s lying. You need to know how (if at all) it has affected the relationship.

Seek professional help

Seeking counseling is a good first step in order to cope with a lying spouse. Counseling can also help you assess the status of your relationship and if it’s worth saving , if that is what you both want.

In the counselor’s presence, you have a neutral zone wherein you can discuss the problems objectively.
