You suspect your spouse is cheating on you? You think that you boss is prolonging the long awaited promotion?You are convinced that you friend is avoiding you for some reason?

that's my specialty really. i have been cheated many times but i let them claim that their cheating on me. you should be good at throwing questions which may lead to accurate answers. i don't spend that much effort though.

I will never trust the liar again and take what he/she says as I have never heard. I think the liar can only get what they want in case you trust them, if you do not trust them and neglect what they say, they can get nothing from their wrong behavior.

you should learn to read eyes. you look at their pupils prior to them opening their mouths. Then you ask the question or just sit back and let them talk. if the pupils shrink they are lying. if they stay the same or grow larger, they are telling the truth.

All those signs people say you can detect a liar with are no signs at all. A great liar you will not be able to detect at all since he/she believe in their own lies! They know what to say, they have an answer on (nearly) every answer. If you really want to detect them you have to continue asking questions, questioning everything, jump with your questions from one subject to an other. It's proved that we seldom think our spous lies but in many cases they do. So if it comes to that our feeling(s) (which we mostly prefer to ignore) tell us what is going on.

Body language tells every thing. Just by observing their body language for a few days and you can come to a conclusion that something is amiss or terribly wrong.

If they are looking away from me, if they are kind of stuttering, if they do weird things while talking that they have never done before... also, excessive sweating, changing tones etc. But fortunately I've never had to question my boyfriend's fidelity :D. But friendwise, yeah, I had that. She was kind of not speaking that naturally then, that's why I knew something was off (but maybe it was because I was guessing of some of her childish reasons, and I was right).

Well cheating and deceiving others have become a fashion these days, in fact it has also become increasingly difficult to detect someone who is deceiving and cheating on us. I think most importantly we need to take proper decisions whenever we are choosing anyone to be in our life at least that way we should not expect them to cheat with us.

I do two things. First I've learned to follow my intuition. It's usually right. If something feels off it usually is. The second thing I do is I repeatedly ask the same questions to a person (at different time and different ways) to see if I get the same answers. For example I asked my bf why his last relationship ended. Then a week or so later I asked again but phrased it differently. I do this with everybody. Though my family says it drives them crazy, most people don't even realize I'm doing it. Caught a lot of people in lies that way (thankfully not my bf).
