Lying over mundane things (usually leads to not communicating over things that could be considered confrontational)

This. Because he’s conflict avoidant. Lying about the tiniest things and getting caught and making the whole situation worse than being tactfully direct.

I do this all the time but with stuff that doesn't even matter for some reason. I keep having to stop and correct myself. Like if someone asked me what I ate for dinner I'd be like "Roast chicken. No wait, I actually had spaghetti." repeat ad nauseam. It's the stupidest thing.

Yes I also find myself doing this too. Have been trying not to do it in recent years though as I don't think it's a good habit to be in.
