Have your husband to research this site and learn what a voo doo sham the polygraph is. If he continues to believe in it then i would suggest his accusations is nothing but a smoke screen to hide his own infidelty.

Thanks for the replys.  That day my husband went to jail for dui and I haven't talked to him about the poly since.  I am in a rut on how I convince him that I never cheated.  I called the examiner that day after we got the results and asked  him if I lied on the control questions too and he said no.  Then the bastard told me if I want my marriage to work, come clean and lay everything out on the table.  I also found that someone else was complaining about him on ripoffreport.com.  His name is Marty Egert and he made me feel like I was guilty the second my husband called him for the initial consultation.  I have never disliked someone so bad.  Please send advise...thx.

lol thanks, sometimes I wish I was a little uglier and fatter for that reason.  I just had very strict parents, so nowadays when I'm accused of something, I feel guilt that I shouldn't.  I'm pretty sure that's why I failed.  I need to be stronger and stand up to myself to my husband. If he doesn't trust me, then we don't need to be together...

Yes! That's him.  Why did he make me feel like I was guilty even before the test?  He told my husband to talk where he was alone on the initial consultation.  And when my husband told me the results the next day I was reacting "exactly like the examiner said I'd act"  I have never disliked someone so much.   

But yes, he told me the polygraph was 99% accurate, he told me the machine would be able to tell the difference between nervousness and lies.  He told me that if I moved it could make the test deceptive...

Thanks.  Yeah, I skimmed thru the book a bit.  I just wish I did before I took the test.  I really got myself in a rut and my marriage may end in a divorse as a result.  I can't help but to have the worst thoughts of hate for the examiner.

Yup he sure did. and my husband is beggingme to take another test...life really sucks thanks to that stupid polygraph.  Ignorant people can be so stupid.

Kristy,

I have two things for you to consider.

1.  Mr. Egert claimed the test is 99% accurate.  That's pretty darn accurate!  If that is true, then why does he need to RETEST you?  Did he screw it up the first time?  Actually, he probably wants to see you again, because you didn't admit to anything, or volunteer enough information.  You see, the polygraph is not a test, but an INTERROGATION disguised as a test.  The purpose of an interrogation is to elicit information.

2.  We used to have a private polygrapher (retired police detective) named Ed "E.B." Van Arsdale (Ponca City, OK) who used to post here under numerous aliases.  After being exposed, I went to his web site.  Some of his clients are defense attorneys who have clients who've been asked to take POLICE polygraphs.  On his website, he recommends the following  to those planning to take police polygraphs:

a)  If the examiner becomes "accusatory" or "aggressive", STOP THE TEST!

b) Do NOT submit to a "post test" interrogation.  This is where a person is  badgered into making an admission after having ALLEGEDLY failed the test.  Did you know that many private polygraphers are former police detectives/interrogators?

So if you DO decide to take the test again, take this polygrapher's above advice.  Just go in and allow him to explain what the questions are going to be, let him strap you up administer the test , then bid him a fond farewell and LEAVE!    

If he wonders why, don't argue with him, just calmly and politely tell him you are simply following the advice of an experience polygrapher.  You've cooperated with him, he has his near perfectly accurate charts, tah tah!
