Here is a list of 30 reasons right off a PC blog
30 Reasons Why People Lie | The Exhausted Woman
From my own personal experience, my EX would lie about financial things, not out of shame, because he really didn't believe he did anything wrong so it wasn't a lie. Sometimes he thought the problem would just MAGICALLY go away. Sometimes he really didn't want me to know just how incompetent he was. Maybe an ego thing since I was the one with the Accounting & computer degree. Maybe he really didn't want me to get angry at him....but I always told him & my daughter I would not get mad if they told the truth but if I caught them in a lie....it would be much worse for them in the long run.
My ex, used the "If I don't actually say anything then it's not a lie" Not sure if that was the ASD literal thing or not or maybe just a learned behavior from his childhood. He truly believed that lies of omission were NOT lies. That really didn't go well with me since I was ALWAYS the one that had to clean up the financial messes he made.
Lots of different reasons people lie
