Lie detector

Would you take a lie detector for your partner to prove your telling the truth

TwistedWonder · 22/10/2024 11:44

Absolutely not. If there’s no trust then the relationship is dead

hughiedoesntfight · 22/10/2024 11:45

Nope. If my partner doesn’t trust me they don’t trust me. So the relationship is over.

Fevertreelover · 22/10/2024 11:46

Nope as there is no scientific evidence that they are accurate.

AnneLovesGilbert · 22/10/2024 11:46

No!

teatoast8 · 22/10/2024 11:46

Hell no

Cas112 · 22/10/2024 11:51

No they are not 100% accurate so whats the point

Ang1231 · 22/10/2024 11:52

Reason I ask is I messed up badly i lied about my past to my partner becsyse there was certain things I regretted and was just scared to tell him when I know now I shouldn't of been anyway I came out after he kept asking and asking me and I told him the truth and I have tried to apologise thst I ever lied tried to talk to him etc, and every time he says the only chance im giving you is do the test prove to my u have told me everything about the past and then we can move forward

You've already posted about this today and been told what a toxic mess your relationship is. Why are you even staying with him?

Chowtime · 22/10/2024 11:53

Where can you even purchase a lie detector?

TwistedWonder · 22/10/2024 11:55

Tell him to stop being a controlling bullying wanker and to fuck off and shove his lie detector up his arse

Is that clear enough for him?

GildedRage · 22/10/2024 11:56

No girl! He either accepts you with your past history (which is what has made you the woman you are today) or dump fast and hard.
Do not apologies or explain.
Grilling you about past events is abusive.

Goody2ShoesAndTheFilthyBeast · 22/10/2024 11:58

No.

For one thing they can't tell if you are lying.
They measure things like blood pressure, sweating, heart rate.

There is no test for lying. Only for signs of being emotional or stressed.

Which taking a lie detector test is likely to make you!!

Also if someone doesn't trust you they aren't worth you.

CandleLlama · 22/10/2024 11:58

You don't have to tell him everything about your past, it's none of his business. He sounds very controlling. If somebody asked me to take a lie detector test I'd end things, they don't work anyway!

DazedAndConfused321 · 22/10/2024 12:18

They're entirely inaccurate, so no. Knowing my luck it would give false results!

Daleksatemyshed · 22/10/2024 12:33

He asked and asked until you told him the truth? So he didn't believe you before and still doesn't believe you now. This isn't about you concealing your past Op, he's jealous and controlling so no amount of tests would convince him until he got one that said you were lying. You can't change your past or his personality so this is always going to be a problem for him- why are you putting up with this?

swizzlemix · 22/10/2024 12:48

You've already got one incomprehensible thread going about this, do you really need another??

Oneearringlost · 22/10/2024 12:51

This is actually v sinister and chilling behaviour. He is trying to control/coerce you.
You HAVE to get out.

Girlmom35 · 22/10/2024 12:56

I would immediately dump any man who asks/expects me to take a lie detector test. Period. Whatever his reasons may be, that's not okay. It's controlling and shows a very disturbing imbalance of power in the relationship.
Also, your past is your past. No one is entitled to every detail of your life, not even when you're in a relationship with them. You don't owe him anything.

Ang1231 · 23/10/2024 11:43

He walked away becsyse I wouldn't do one

OP posts:
Goody2ShoesAndTheFilthyBeast · 23/10/2024 11:44

Good.
Now work on moving on from him.

Opentooffers · 23/10/2024 11:48

Let him walk, your past is none of his business unless you've been in prison for something.

Ang1231 · 23/10/2024 11:56

Im saying I was the one doing the running in the 1sr 4 months of us seeing eacother and can't honestly believe he forgot all that and don't trust me and becayse I won't do one he has left

Good. He sounds awful.

There has to be trust in a relationship.

TheShellBeach · 23/10/2024 12:14

Why have you started another thread about this controlling loser?

Goody2ShoesAndTheFilthyBeast · 23/10/2024 12:15

Why do you even want to be with someone who treats you badly and doesn't trust you?
