13 Signs He Is Hiding Something

When you catch someone in a blatant lie, it is up to you to investigate more on why they could have chosen a particular topic or theme (in your or their life) to lie to you about and get to the bottom of it.

7. HIS BODY LANGUAGE DOES NOT MATCH HIS WORDS

One of the signs he is hiding something is when his body language does not match his words. What does this look like? Usually, when humans speak, their words and actions match up – this is a subconscious thing and it happens with everyone. For example, when you say yes, your head nods, and when you say no your head shakes – your body correlates with what your mind is feeling and your mouth is saying. Therefore, if you notice that someone shakes their head when speaking positively, chances are they are lying – an obvious sign of someone who is hiding something from you. Body language can also come off as physically distancing themselves from you, folding their arms as a sign of defense, biting their lips as a way to keep themselves from revealing the truth – there are so many ways that the body can tell you when someone is lying to you and watching their words and body language is only the tip of the iceberg, but a good place to start, nonetheless.

8. HE BECOMES TOO NICE

Another sign that your boyfriend is hiding something is when he becomes too nice suddenly. This change in behavior is usually rapid and without any form of context – you just wake up one day and your partner is super nice and you feel that it might be too good to be true. The truth is, even though there is nothing wrong with your partner being nice to you and doting on you, it can be alarming when it is sudden. This is because when people are ridden with guilt, they will subconsciously try to elevate themselves of this guilt, and doing something nice for you will give them that effect. However, since they are acting out of guilt and not genuine intentions of care, they tend to overdo it and go overboard to try and overcompensate for their guilt-ridden feelings.

9. HE BECOMES DISTANT

Another way how to know if someone is hiding something is when they suddenly become distant from you. Now, we all know the dichotomies of life – on one extreme we have the people that will become too nice to you after they do something they know will hurt you. On the other extreme, we have people whose guilt won’t even let them face you and so they distance themselves from you. This may come as them ghosting you, or them leaving you with the dumbest excuses. However they do it, the truth is they want to put as much distance between you and them as they possibly can so that they never have to face the consequences of their actions with you.

It is worth noting that becoming distant could also apply emotionally – where the person is there physically but they no longer are open to you emotionally and this can lead to them being closed off in more aspects of your relationship with them, such as intimacy. This might also be one of the signs that your husband is planning to leave you.

10. THERE IS NO LONGER INTIMACY

If you have had a partner withdraws from you intimately, the first thought that crossed your mind may have been why do I feel like my boyfriend is hiding something? Or something along those lines. This is because, as humans, we can feel when someone is pulling away from us. Most human communication is nonverbal and before you notice the change in intimacy, you will notice the emotional distance. This happens right before the hand-holding and public displays of affection stop. By the time you no longer have intimacy in your relationship, there will have been many nonverbal cues and signs leading up to it. Always pay attention to your gut feeling.

Another implication for the lack of intimacy in your relationship might be that your partner is getting all his intimate needs met somewhere else and therefore has no reason to be intimate with you any longer. This could also be one of the signs that your husband is not in love with you anymore.

11. HE IS IGNORING YOU

If you have ever gotten the feeling that made you think “I feel like my boyfriend is hiding something” you know it usually comes after your partner does something that makes you question them. One of those things may be that you have noticed that your partner is straight up ignoring you. You have tried reaching out to them, calling them, texting them, or even trying to have intimate time and conversations with them but they just don’t seem to be interested. When this happens, one of these two things is true. Either he is feeling guilty of something that he did and therefore is ignoring you to soothe his own guilt, or he has found someone else whose attention he values more than yours. Either way, this is a sure sign that he is hiding something from you.

12. HE HIDES HIS PHONE

One of the best signs someone is hiding something on their phone is when they never leave their phone down. They take it everywhere with them, the bathroom, to work out, to the gym, to the kitchen – everywhere! Sure, in today’s world, everyone treats their cell phone as an extra limb and takes it almost everywhere with them. However, there are some instances where normal people will leave their phones, even for a minute, in order to do some activities. Someone who is hiding something, however, will never leave their phone because they are afraid that you may try to check what’s in it.

13. HE HAS NEW PEOPLE IN HIS LIFE YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD OF OR MET

One thing about being in a long-term relationship that you can be sure about is at some point you are going to meet all the important people in your partner’s life – their parents, siblings, colleagues, and friends. And therefore, when they make plans, you are going to be aware of whom these plans are. Now one of the telltale signs that someone is hiding something is when he suddenly starts making plans with people that you do not know, have never heard of, and he does not make any plans for you to meet them. This could be because he is lying about these people and they do not, in fact, exist. Or it could be because they are a bad influence and he knows that you would not approve of the kind of person he becomes when in their company. Either way, when your partner starts mentioning hanging out with people you have never heard of before, you can be certain he is hiding something from you.
