Do You Lie?

Dr. Phil McGraw
About this episode

Do you ever fib? Did you know that people lie three times in 10 minutes when they're trying to get to know each other? Dr. Phil gets to the bottom of why people tell tales and how to put an end to the falsehoods. Erin admits that a lie she told her ex-husband, Eric, destroyed their marriage and led to divorce. Is Erin now ready to be honest, or is she still hiding the truth? And, does this couple have a chance of making it work the second time? Next, Dr. Robert Feldman sheds light on why men and women are dishonest. Then, Michelle was engaged to a man whom she thought was her soul mate, until she hired a private investigator and found out he was lying to her. Should she ever trust him again? Dr. Phil offers advice for how to change your relationship with a liar. And, Dr. Phil shares Tweet she received of lies people have told. Is yours one of them?
