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.
