If you were given a lie detector test by your mate, what lies would be revealed?
The Maury show has a huge fan base, not only for its shocking paternity test results, but because of the lie detector tests that are offered to spouses who suspect their mates of infidelity. “That was a lie” is a term made famous by host Maury Povich, and it’s usually followed by lots of wailing and broken hearts, as science uncovers the truth. If you were given a lie detector test on Maury, what lies would be revealed? Below, readers share:
LP, 42:
He would learn that I wasn’t really pregnant when I said I was pregnant, and I didn’t miscarry. I just wanted marriage and for him to get serious and drop all his other women, and it worked.
JL, 30:
She would find out that ‘I love you’ was just the ploy I used to get her to be intimate with me. I kinda love her now, still.
PP, 22:
My girl would discover that that time that I insisted we use a condom wasn’t because I was worried about pregnancy, but because I was worried that I had something and didn’t want to expose her.
LB, 32:
My husband would find out that I wasn’t really a virgin when we married. And that I didn’t just have one partner before him, but several. I’m actually surprised that to this day, he doesn’t realise.
JB, 47:
I’m not sure if my second child is my husband’s child. Actually, we would have to do both a lie detector and a paternity test.
WG, 35:
My boyfriend would find out that in the summers when I go abroad to visit my ‘sister’, I’m actually staying with my other man, who provides for me financially. My boyfriend thinks I’m an ‘independent woman’ who he doesn’t have to support. LOL.
NR, 33:
My girl would discover that I have a tracking device on her phone, and can know where she is at all times. I’m not insecure, just protecting my investment.
TH, 38:
The money my Canadian man is sending to me each month is being used to support myself and my Jamaican fiancé, who I hope to marry next year. He doesn’t know I’m engaged.
DG, 50:
My wife would know that I’m in love with someone else, and that my heart aches every day, because I married the wrong person.
GR, 40:
I spend a lot of time in strip clubs and spend money on these girls. I also go to church every Sunday with my family. My family would find out that my whole persona is a lie.
