The happier you are in a relationship, the less you lie. Actually logical, but in most relationships things are kept secret. This was the result of a study and also clarifies what is often fibbed about.
The dating portal “Elite-Partner” asked 4,000 people who are in a permanent relationship or marriage about their everyday lies within the relationship. The result is impressive, in total there were lies in 60 percent of the partnerships. Based on the answers, the dating platform was also able to create a study and determine the five most common lies. The question was: “Which of the following things do you prefer to keep to yourself from your partner?”
1. That I find someone else attractive
Almost 20 percent of all respondents do not dare to tell their partner if they find another person attractive. The concealment affects more men (23 percent) than women (15 percent).
2. That sometimes I doubt our relationship
Well, which gender is ahead when it comes to brooding and thus also when it comes to keeping secrets? That’s right, more women (18 percent) than men (15 percent) hide their doubts. Overall, by the way, almost every fifth participant.
3. How much I really spend on things (e.g. electronics, gadgets, clothes, going out)
A predestined relationship dispute topic, so many prefer to choose the lie. But men and women don’t give each other anything. Overall, about 15 percent of both sexes fibber on this topic when it comes to pumps and Playstations.
4. That I sometimes feel embarrassed about his/her behavior
Oops, this is a really serious issue, with more women than men hiding the truth, at 15 percent versus 10 percent. So she often swallows when he turns twelve with his boys or something like that.
When it comes to watching porn, one in five men in a relationship lies
5. Watching porn now and then
On the other hand, men are way ahead in this regard. Who would have thought, 20 percent of all men in a relationship lie when it comes to watching porn. Whereas only five percent of women fib on this question.
But all couples can breathe a sigh of relief despite the sobering results, according to the qualified psychologist Lisa Fischbach: “The quality of a partnership is not shown by sharing your whole (inner) life with your partner. That promotes usually just too much merging and the loss of tension in the relationship. A certain amount of secrecy is therefore perfectly normal as long as the partner’s trust is not betrayed.”
