My partner consistently makes up small lies in order to back up what he is saying, often in a way to negate what I’m saying. I find it really odd and I don’t know how to adress it. Like a small example the other day I was talking about a food I don’t like because he wanted to make it for dinner for both of us. I said I don’t like this food, feel free to make it for yourself I don’t like it because of one of the main ingredients in it. He then said well how many times have you eaten it? And I said numourous times I even tried the dish his friend made of it and didn’t like it because of the main ingredient. He then lied to me and said his friend didn’t use this ingredient. Which is obviously a lie because it’s like the base ingredient and I then I told him I know your lying and he admitted to it. I don’t understand why he does this I don’t always call it out but I notice this a lot. On my birthday we had a big arguemnet because from my perspective he essentially ruined it and then during this argument he told me one our mutual friends said to him that I was being mean. I later in a very discreet way asked the friend about my behaviour on the night and they said they had no idea what I was talking about and noticed him acting strangely. I really don’t know how to afters this behaviour because it’s just weird. And it’s small but consistent, like saying he knows a lot about something that he doesn’t to try and like one uo me when we debate or just saying flat out false things he thinks he can get away with.
