To call out a liar?

[summerisnearlyhere]

Stupid things really, I know my friend is lying to me over little things, an example, couldn't make a prearranged night out over the weekend because their partner was away, so no babysitter, and yet their partners social media page, that is not secure, shows they have all been out as a family, and clearly they aren't away.
And just a couple of other little things too, that I know are lies. Doesn't matter in the great scheme of things, but just wondered if I'm being unreasonable feeling a little hurt being lied to?

Did it show the partner there when you wanted to go out?

Yes, said partner was away all weekend, back tonight, and they've all been out for the day today. Just very odd. If you didn't want to go out, why not just say so?

I think I'd be inclined to ask "how was [wherever they went]?" next time you see your friend in person. See what reaction you get.

I've had friends do variations of this from time to time and it's always been because they didn't want to hurt my feelings!! I'd rather them just have said they've double booked themselves and need to cancel.

So I say yes, call your friend out on it but not in an accusatory way.

Thank you @DatingDinosaur I think I will do that, it opens it up for another lie, but I'm sure there's no malice there
