Has anyone any advice?

Hello all,
This is my first post as i have only just found this forum.
I havent spoken to anyone about this before but things have gotten a little worse of late and i am unsure how to handle this.
Let me explain.
I am married to a really lovely guy he treats me well and is very loveing and always has been, nothing is to much trouble for him.
Of late i have noticed that he seems to be telling liesabout silly things for no apparent reason and this week i have had several reason to think he has been lying. he said he had arranged a standin for a meeting that was important which i had my suspisions he hadnt and sure enough the person who was meant to go didnt turn up. so he said he would call them to find out why . now i am cheaking up on him which i hate as i am not usually a suspicious person . and you guessed it i found that no phone calls where made to said person either to arrange standin cover or to check why they didnt go.
Its a silly thing i know but i dont understand why he is lying about this sort of thing as it seems so trival. there are many other instances that i have caught him out and to be honest its making me question his moves and i dont want to.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can go about approaching this subject subtley or any one know a reason why this could be happening?
I really dont know what to do. its all starnge lies nothing adulterous as i trust him 100% on that front but dont want these little lies to start me worrying on that front.
Thankyou.

This doesn't sound like compulsive lying, so much as something that belongs in the relationship section. He might just want some time to himself, or perhaps he's feeling a little self consious so he's lying. You might want to try and softly confront him, or just communicate better with him on what's going on in his life.

Hi,

From what I gather, your husband does not appear to be a compulsive liar. However, 2 things stand out: it's apparently a "new" type of behavior for him and he seems to be developing an elaborate lie. This is more than just a cover lie, a "cheap" one. He seems to actually plan his lie and this is a bad sign, as most compulsive liars, such as myself, will tell you that lying is reinforced by the "success" obtained when telling elaborate lies.

Although he will despise this, you can't let him off the hook. You need to confront him and make sure he's not being reinforced in his behavior.

But there's indeed the trust issue. Because I'm a compulsive liar, I couldn't blame my ex-girlfriends for checking up on me. But if your husband's lying is indeed a recent thing, checking up on him is nearly impossible to justify. So be very careful when confronting him with his lie.

Confronting a liar is a very, very hard thing to do but if you are to keep a sense of authenticity in your relationship, it's essential that you put an end to it now.

Best of luck to you
