Unfortunately, there’s no surefire way to tell if your partner is lying to you. Some signs may suggest they’re lying, such as body language or avoiding eye contact, but these indications on their own are not definitive proof. If you’re particularly concerned that your partner is being deceptive with you, the best course of action is to ask direct questions and listen carefully to their response - although this approach requires a high degree of trust from both parties.

Paying attention to physical signs like avoiding eye contact, fidgeting or stuttering can be indicative of lying. Other tells include changes in voice and use of ambiguous language, repeating questions or requests, and deflecting responsibility. Listening for discrepancies between what is said and nonverbal cues can give a good indication if someone is telling the truth or not. Being observant and attuned to how your partner responds can go a long way in determining their honesty.
