They lied about their reason for going on a trip

I hope the person this is about doesn’t see this.
someone I met recently mentioned they wouldn’t be here as usual on monday, because they were going to a wedding over the weekend and needed to sleep it off.
they complained they would have to travel back on Sunday with no sleep because their wife has an important job in a role that works with the vulnerable so they can’t miss work on the Monday.
I have found out through publicly available social media posts that they had actually gone on a romantic weekend get away away for their birthday with their wife.
I also found out that their wife currently works as a regular employee, a laborious job in a factory which she presents online.
but I’m just thinking, why lie?

Because you were nosy and asked why they wanted time off and he didnt want to share personal information?

Elderflower14 · 31/03/2025 19:38

Why does it concern you? Not your business!

Damnloginpopup · 31/03/2025 19:38

My guess is that you're shagging him and he's bullshitting you.

SoScarletItWas · 31/03/2025 19:38

Top social media stalking, OP. Can’t imagine why you gave off vibes that made them decide not to tell you about their real plans.

Drives me mad when people hide the sex of who they're talking about. It's a big enough site.

Stop trying to entice someone who's married or stop shagging them.

They're sensing you're a bit of a stalker or they're a jackanory. One or the other.

Toooldtopretend · 31/03/2025 19:45

So wife is away going the same as them, but she can go to work on the Monday. Eh?

PaintYourAssLikeRembrandt · 31/03/2025 19:45

Why check up on the person, including the wife's posts?

You're clearly very over invested in this person.

LillylollyAndy · 31/03/2025 19:49

I’m not involved with them romantically or sexually, which is why I don’t understand why they’ve lied. I don’t see any obvious reason. They mentioned it on their own accord, I didn’t ask

Why are you interested enough to look at his wife’s social media?

LillylollyAndy · 31/03/2025 19:51

I should add he was complaining that his wife was making him go to the wedding but it was all for him anyway

Still none of your business!!! 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄

LillylollyAndy · 31/03/2025 19:55

I know it’s not my business. My point is, why lie?

That's not your business either.

Newyorklady · 31/03/2025 19:57

They or he is obviously picking up on something from you that makes him want to lie.
Why care anyway ?
Why even bother to check their SM.
All a bit weird really.

The point is why are you invested enough to check up whether he is lying or not?

Its weird, and a little creepy that you have the level of investment in this guy to piece together his actions, and his wife's actions.

You think anyone here can answer that? Get a grip.

EnglishSausages · 31/03/2025 20:05

Why did you look him up on social media?

But why would it matter to you?

thankyounextplease · 31/03/2025 20:12

Because they are unhappy with their life and want to seem more interesting to you.

Sofiewoo · 31/03/2025 20:13

Why lie? Maybe because you’re clearly an utter weirdo and they want to keep you at arms length.

Because they don’t want their stalker to know their movements

offmynut · 31/03/2025 20:15

It has nothing to do with you maybe you need to get out more op.
Im off for a week tomorrow to spain and ive told know one about it when asked what im up to this week by a work mate i said im doing nothing because they dont need to no every detail on my life.

Oioisavaloy27 · 31/03/2025 20:15

Some people just lie just be wary of them in future because you may find that he lies about a lot of things.

Why did you feel he wasn't being honest? I also think it's very odd to look him up on social media!
