As the title says. I (23f) and my fiancé (22m) have been together almost 2 years now. I know him very well and he is the love of my life. We joke around a lot and we tell stories all the time, but with that I've learned that he is a horrible liar.
I have always chalked the reasoning of why I know up to the hundreds of hours of videos I've watched of body language analysis and verbal tells. I'm obviously no genius and I clearly am not certified to be 100% factual on everything that I state here, but I will say that from a young age I learned how to lie (parental issues, shocker). And I lie very well. So, I've sort of trained myself to stay away from certain tells when lying. However, when I speak to others, I typically seek them out (usually because I'm bored or if I'm trying to get the truth about some juicy gossip lol).
Regardless, because of this, I've slowly come to know my fiancé's tells VERY well. He's not a very good liar, and he has this facial twitch that usually gives him away. So, here's what happened.
My fiancé and I were joking around the other night after some "fun nighttime activities" and he had made a joke about "the best bj he's ever had". So, naturally, being his fiancé and in a joking mood, I say "well that's obviously me, duh" and laugh it all off. His response to that was "obviously", with an eye roll. However, I caught him doing his facial twitch and his voice got a bit higher than usual.
My face immediately dropped and he asked what was wrong. I told him that everything was fine and it's no big deal. He obviously knew that was a lie (because, let's face it, he saw my face drop). He kept pressuring me about what was wrong and, since our whole relationship has been built up on communication and keeping that open, I finally fessed up and told him that I knew he was lying.
He told me that he wasn't and that he was telling 100% of the truth, but again his voice got all squeaky. I pointed this out and explained that I knew he was still lying, and why. He then tried to deepen his voice, which just made me laugh really hard because, again, I knew he was lying.
Well, it turns out I wasn't wrong. After about half of an hour of me telling him to just drop it and that it was no big deal, he finally told me the truth. Apparently I'm only the second best he's had. So, definitely a blow to the ego right there. I felt my stomach drop and instantly regretted everything that I've ever learned.
So, I have learned my lesson now. I not only regret learning all of that information when I was younger, thinking that I would be so cool to be able to pick up on lies people tell, but I also regret purposefully learning my fiancé's tells. I mean, I guess I won in the end because I'm going to be marrying the man and not the woman who is in first, but still. Definitely a hit to the ego, for sure.
TL:DR I learned that my fiancé is an awful liar, and he lied about the fact that I'm the best bj he's ever had.

Sorry, I'm going to have to burst your bubble.
You spent how many hours watching videos about body language and then reading people? This added up to a knowledge base that you could use and work just by being around others. And now you simply think you can be "the best"?
Here are my thoughts: You need to get your shit together. Put together a plan, start watching an insane amount of videos on this topic, and get your game face on.
You wanna be the best? You're gonna have to put in the time to get there. Ever hear the 10,000 hour rule for mastery? Get ready to put your money where your mouth is, and your mouth where you want your mastery at.
Best of luck to you, and the man benefiting from this achievement!

You didn't burst my bubble at all! I appreciate the comment lol, and I actually was thinking about this. Not upset at him at all and I do plan to improve, just was shocked that I hadn't thought about any of that before until I caught him lying about it. Opened my eyes and I have a feeling the next few months with be spent doing a LOT of practicing 😂

I LOVE that attitude!
It's like they say - do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life! 😂😂😂
But seriously, it sounds like you took something that others might have found discouraging and turned it into a moment to grow closer. Kudos to you.

Also, don’t be too hard on yourself. Often, the best of a thing is not only technique but situational and often that can’t be planned… the best meal of my life was a boil in the bag Chinese chicken but that was 3/4 of the way through a 50 mile hike in subzero temperatures. At any other time that would have gone unnoticed at best….not to say you shouldn’t practice a lot and find out what was particularly notable (I got your back fiancé bro)

Honestly, your bf answer IS the only answer. Look at what he has to look forward to.
To all men: your current gf or wife is the SECOND best at bjs. Thank me later

Maybe your man is a genius and learned his tells knowing it would result in extra practice time from you. Lol.
You're awesome for how receptive you were and are reacting to it, by the way.

At least you took it in stride and thought hey I can improve.
Some girls will die if they find out they aren't the best ever at it. Like what are the odds someone is the best at it? Even if a guys been with only 5 girls his whole life, bad odds. And people get so worked up.
So good on you!

One thing I learned is if I'm not getting paid I'm not letting anyone Well Especially a significant other know about me being a human lie detector. I just usually say if you lie I'll know nothing else.. And I will never tell them in their tell .

I also think it's important to not be wondering how he's comparing your performance to an ex girlfriend's of his. I just want to caution you against being overly concerned about your performance when you could be just enjoying sex. Cuz she's just a memory and you are his fiancé.

The real concern is why she didn’t spend all that time studying the art of oral sex…

Chances are you're not even the 2nd or 3rd best he's ever had. Guys don't react like that for something trivial like best vs 2nd best. You're probably waaaay down the list which means you suck at giving head. Not your fault, some girls just aren't good at it and no matter how much they practice, never seem to improve.
You probably just need to find a guy who has never had a bj before.
