The couple relationships They can come to an end for different reasons. Among them, the most common are infidelities, distance or liesalthough the latter are small and “pious”.
Although lying is part of our daily life and our routine at small levels, these can accumulate in such a way that they could affect the trust and intimacy of a couple or cause a permanent breakup.
Anita Kelly, a psychology professor at the University of Notre Dame, conducted a research on the impact of lies on mental, physical health and even relationships in people between 18 and 71 years old.
During the study, some of the participants were prohibited from lying, while others could express themselves without any censorship. In the process, a polygraph picked up all the lies said and were related to the feelings that each person had communicated to the researchers.
The individuals who showed the best parameters in the results in terms of well-being were those who couldn’t lieboth physically and mentally reported feeling less tense. In this way, Kelly related an improvement in health and in the couple’s union with the absence of lies.
Other research, such as that published in Communication Psychology warned that the stress or anxiety can decrease if we remove the lie from our. In addition, this would positively influence intimacy and trust as a couple.
We must keep in mind that even the smallest lies could cause discomfort and insecurity in a relationship. Lying, as some studies show, forces your brain to work harder That by telling the truth, and, if it is systematic, a routine can arise that is difficult to get out of.
The brain can adapt to that process and take it completely normally, something that in the long run could prove to be a problem individually and towards other people in your circle, such as family members or even your partner.
