If you suspect your partner is cheating on you, don’t just listen to his words — his body language might just be a lot more honest. From rubbing his eyes to covering his mouth when speaking, "Warning Signs" by Anthony DeLorenzo and Dawn Ricci show you what signals to look for if you think he’s lying. An excerpt.
Chapter threeHere’s the good news about being lied to by your husband: He’s probably not very good at it. Call him what you will right now, but chances are you’re not married to a pathological liar — a person who suffers from a mental disorder that manifests itself by the compulsive need to lie and whose lies are so well delivered, most of us could not detect them. But the majority of people are simply lousy liars. Their deceitfulness can be made apparent to you — if you know what to look for, listen to, and pay special attention to — because their body language will often tell you when they’re lying.
We’re not saying that it will be easy for you to become a human lie detector. It will demand that you learn the key indicators exhibited by someone who is telling a lie and that you don’t let on that you suspect your smiling husband is lying through his teeth. And it will take patience on your part to accumulate the evidence of his lying: You may need to have a number of conversations with your husband to give him the opportunity to tell a large enough body of substantial lies to prove that he’s having an affair. But we can assure you that with the lie-detection signs we’re about to share with you, you’ll be able to determine — though no one can say with 100 percent assurance — if what he’s telling you is the truth or one more lie.
We’ve seen many technological advances in our pursuit of the truth for clients over the years — from tiny video cameras that fit in a pen to portable listening devices that can pick up a conversation one hundred yards away to computer spyware and global positioning systems (GPS) that pinpoint a person’s location to within a few feet. But in our decades in this field, one highly effective area of investigation hasn’t been improved upon, an area that ironically is not based on technology or requires any technical expertise whatsoever. But when used properly, this investigative device can provide evidence of an affair as thoroughly, accurately, and consistently as the fanciest digital equipment ever could. The device is you — and your ability to read a person’s body language for signs of lying. We call this area of investigation the Body of Truth, because his body language, more than virtually anything else he’s saying, is your window into knowing whether what he’s saying is the honest truth or a flat-out lie.

Your turn
Have you cheated on your partner?
How to listen to what his body is telling you If you suspect your partner of cheating, it’s only natural that you’ll be suspicious of what he tells you, especially in those areas and topics that hold the most interest to you, such as his late working hours. Where exactly was he last Saturday afternoon? And why did he call you by another woman’s name? But be careful. If you believe that there’s nothing you can believe, then it will be much harder for you to separate the truth from his deceitful answers. It’s far better to trust what his body language is telling you than to feel that everything he says to you is dishonest. You’re searching for the truth, wherever that might lead you, so give it a chance. This approach will allow you to far more accurately distinguish between fact and fiction.
Like any language, body language is full of nuance and idioms and has many parts. But from what we’ve learned working with experts we’ve consulted with over the years on the topic of body language and lying, reading body language falls into two main areas: the actual movement of the individual’s body parts (the eyes, mouth, hands, feet, legs, and of course the whole body) and how the person speaks, including his or her tone of voice and speech patterns.
A body of lies Of the two areas — the body and speech — the body generally reveals more, mainly because it provides more signals to look for and more ways for a liar to unwittingly betray the fact that he’s not telling the truth.
Let’s start at the top. The face of a person telling a lie often appears less animated than that of someone telling the truth. What movement there is, is limited to the mouth, not the eyes, which normally move in concert with the mouth — for example, when you smile, your eyes smile too, getting wider as your lips form a smile. A person who’s lying is usually tight lipped, with the corners of the mouth turned down. Darting eyes can also serve as a reliable sign of someone’s lying, so much so that many liars make a concerted effort not to move their eyes or blink excessively. So a blank, fixed stare — the opposite of darting, blinking eyes — can indicate a dishonest response as well.
