I married a compulsive liar and I see it as a sickness. For a long time I sat back thinking I made a commitment through sickness and health, problem is only one of us was honest in making that commitment. So I'm starting over again and it sucks not being able to trust esp when you share a special needs child together.

I pop a cap in their azz

I'm with Chrissy, it depends who it is. If it is someone who is supposed to be a friend then I confront them about it and find out why they felt the need to lie to me. I stay single so much because everyone I've ever been with has cheated on me and that involves lying. I don't have time for dishonesty. Life is far too short to sweat stuff like that.

Initially this ... ^^^

Only mine is a psychic elephant gun ... They still very much feel it and pay the price for their mean and foolish choice ...



This ... ^^^ ... Chrissy speaks my thoughts well ... Too lil time, few breaths ...

BEST attempts to clear it w/ those of significant import and permanence ...

So many indignantly commit to and believe their own fiction ...

I Dump those majors repeatedly unable to reform, when all else has failed -

... And ALL those on the outskirts' perimeter from the first whiff, get-go ... Quiksmart - No 2nd chances for that lot!!!

Buh-bye ... Don't let the door hit ya as you're leavin' ... NEXT!

I see...but I was referring to these...


"Ohhhhhhh I'm coming!!!!!!

That was the best sex I EVER had!

Krupa, you got the biggest **** I have ever seen...... "


I'm just kidding around.

simple just get away from them, u do not want friends that lie to u it only causes aggervation.

"The truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with great caution." Dumbledore, in Harry Potter series by J.K Rowling.
Lying is an everyday habit, I believe. All of us are guilty of that, no? Thing is, lies vary, depending on the motivation, and the results. Our reaction should not be the same all the time.
Small as 'I've got the Mail already', when you are in fact on your way to get them? (Here, I guess you are trying to avoid a confrontation, especially when you have been reminded several times) So, the problem is not lying, more of your procrastinating habits.
Big as 'I'm not married' Obvious enough that there's no way around that this is a very unforgivable lie.
Personally, I prefer to hide the truth, or answer vaguely, rather than outright lie. Some people would call that lying anyway.
Not lying at all? Good luck being able to do that.
So, if you are forced to lie sometimes, you should not be so quick to shun those people, or make them feel like a heel, especially if they apologize.
A quick answer?
If you care deeply about the offender, then you should confront them, and encourage them to be more honest with you. Otherwise, don't bother. If you confront every lie you discover, you'll never finish!

Normally I assume there has been a misunderstanding and grant the benefit of the doubt - perhaps I didn't hear the full story, or don't know all of the facts myself, for example.

Also details become blurred & fuzzy with time. The tan hat ur brother wore in second grade 20 yrs ago may have been green, does that make u a liar? Of course not.

but if a man says he was at work, but was out at the bars or with a woman - no. just no.

Chose your battles, are they worth the trouble?

just depends, everyone lies at some point. if you get mad and get them out of your life, there won't be anyone left.

exactly, and also as mightymoe has said - to have people in our lives we have to accept the occasional weaknesses that come with being human.

I am acquainted with a few folks who 1. either don't care if lieing is wrong, or 2. know it's wrong but feel there are times when it is justified.

we do have to choose our battles wisely

some people pump themselves up out of insecurity also.

yet another good reason I have no GPS, no cell phone, adn no one uses my computer but me. u will have to take my word for it krupa

And if you don't stand up to those who lie to you, you're teaching them it's ok to lie.
