There are different types of lies in a relationship can damage the connection you have with your significant other, and cause distrust in your relationship.

Trust is a very fragile thing, and it takes a long time to build and even a longer time to repair if it has been ruptured.

When it comes to relationships, it's important that our partners truly know who we are. In healthy relationships, we need our partners to see all of us, and we can't do that if there is lying.

Here are 5 types of lying in a relationship that lead to distrust:

1. White lies

Less serious lies that don't necessarily impact the relationship, but over time it can.

2. Broken promises

Saying you're going to do something, but you don't follow through

3. Exaggerations

Mentioning certain details of the story that are not true to make yourself look better

4. Omission

Leaving out specific details that impacts your partner or the relationship

5. Deception

Creating an impression to mislead your partner.
