Why do men lie about little things?
Why Do Men — Understanding what men do.
See if this sounds familiar…
You ask what time he left work, or if he picked up the dry cleaning, or whether he finished the last cup of coffee. It is a trivial detail—something that shouldn't carry any weight at all. Yet he hesitates, shifts his eyes, or gives an answer that you know isn't true. It leaves you standing in the kitchen wondering why does he lie about small things? or why do men hide things that do not matter? when the truth would have cost him nothing.
