As the title says. I (23f) and my fiancé (22m) have been together almost 2 years now. I know him very well and he is the love of my life. We joke around a lot and we tell stories all the time, but with that I’ve learned that he is a horrible liar.

I have always chalked the reasoning of why I know up to the hundreds of hours of videos I’ve watched of body language analysis and verbal tells. I’m obviously no genius and I clearly am not certified to be 100% factual on everything that I state here, but I will say that from a young age I learned how to lie (parental issues, shocker). And I lie very well. So, I’ve sort of trained myself to stay away from certain tells when lying. However, when I speak to others, I typically seek them out (usually because I’m bored or if I’m trying to get the truth about some juicy gossip lol).

Regardless, because of this, I’ve slowly come to know my fiancé’s tells VERY well. He’s not a very good liar, and he has this facial twitch that usually gives him away. So, here’s what happened.

My fiancé and I were joking around the other night after some “fun nighttime activities” and he had made a joke about “the best bj he’s ever had”. So, naturally, being his fiancé and in a joking mood, I say “well that’s obviously me, duh” and laugh it all off. His response to that was “obviously”, with an eye roll. However, I caught him doing his facial twitch and his voice got a bit higher than usual.

My face immediately dropped and he asked what was wrong. I told him that everything was fine and it’s no big deal. He obviously knew that was a lie (because, let’s face it, he saw my face drop). He kept pressuring me about what was wrong and, since our whole relationship has been built up on communication and keeping that open, I finally fessed up and told him that I knew he was lying.

He told me that he wasn’t and that he was telling 100% of the truth, but again his voice got all squeaky. I pointed this out and explained that I knew he was still lying, and why. He then tried to deepen his voice, which just made me laugh really hard because, again, I knew he was lying.

Well, it turns out I wasn’t wrong. After about half of an hour of me telling him to just drop it and that it was no big deal, he finally told me the truth. Apparently I’m only the second best he’s had. So, definitely a blow to the ego right there. I felt my stomach drop and instantly regretted everything that I’ve ever learned.

So, I have learned my lesson now. I not only regret learning all of that information when I was younger, thinking that I would be so cool to be able to pick up on lies people tell, but I also regret purposefully learning my fiancé’s tells. I mean, I guess I won in the end because I’m going to be marrying the man and not the woman who is in first, but still. Definitely a hit to the ego, for sure.

TL:DR I learned that my fiancé is an awful liar, and he lied about the fact that I’m the best bj he’s ever had.
