it's been said that "when you can't be trusted with small things, what more of big things?" but it's different when it is applied to your partner. of course, 'small lies' is a part of everyday living between partners, but we should watch out how frequent this thing happens or we'll be sorry in the end if these 'small lies' becomes a HABIT. once it becomes a habit, it'll certainly give him/her a chance to lie about big things. :)

Frequent small lies - if it is the case - are definitely not a good sign. Besides it's a constant lack of respect which I personally wouldn't be prepared to accept.

It's no big deal to catch your partner in a small lie once in every great while. It happens to the best of us. More often, it is "tilting" the truth - what we in the West call "spin" - choosing the facts and interpretation to make yourself look better. On the other hand, in my experience, people who lie routinely about small things (I emphasize routinely) will, with 100% certainty, lie about big things, too.

Hello Sheng, Yes I think that is probable. It depends also why he is telling those lies and how often? Just be aware ,it is not a good thing anyways!

Everyone tells white lies everyday, but if your partner is a compulsive liar then your relationship will not last.
