The dating portal "Elite-Partner" asked 4,000 people who are in a permanent relationship or marriage about their everyday lies within the relationship. The result is impressive, in total there were lies in 60 percent of the partnerships. Based on the answers, the dating platform was also able to conduct a study and identify the five most common lies. The question was: "Which of the following things do you prefer to keep to yourself from your partner?"
1. That I find someone else attractive Almost 20 percent of all respondents do not dare to tell their partner if they find another person attractive. The concealment affects more men (23 percent) than women (15 percent).
2. That I sometimes doubt our relationship Well, which gender is ahead when it comes to brooding and thus also when it comes to keeping secrets? That's right, more women (18 percent) than men (15 percent) hide their doubts. Overall, by the way, almost every fifth participant.
3. How much I really spend on things (e.g. electronics, gadgets, clothes, going out) A predestined relationship dispute topic, so many prefer to choose the lie. Men and women don't give each other here. Overall, about 15 percent of both sexes fibber on this topic when it comes to pumps and Playstations.
4. That I'm sometimes embarrassed by his/her behavior Oops, that's a really serious issue, with more women than men hiding the truth, at 15 percent to 10 percent. So she often swallows when he turns twelve with his boys or something like that.
5. Watching porn now and then Men have the edge on this point by a wide margin. Who would have thought, 20 percent of all men in a relationship lie when it comes to watching porn. Whereas only five percent of women fib on this question.
But all couples can breathe a sigh of relief despite the sobering results, as psychologist Lisa Fischbach gives an assessment of the study results: "The quality of a partnership is not shown by sharing your whole (inner) life with your partner. That promotes usually just too much merging and the loss of tension in the relationship. A certain amount of secrecy is therefore perfectly normal as long as the partner's trust is not betrayed."
