In a ball gown because that's how we roll in N. Devon

I ask them for the truth, ask them why they lied and then systematically take them apart, body, life and soul.

Because I'm an absolute delight.

I do not accept lies. I’m very very clear on basic expectations of being friends with someone. I’ll challenge the lie. Explain how shit it made me feel then remove them from a position of trust and move on.

People who lie will always lie. Even when it’s unnecessary.

If in a relationship with a liar. Move on, don’t give second chances . Because leopards don’t change their spots. Ever.

If someone I trust has lied to me especially over some thing that completely betrays my trust then we are finished there would be no point in continuing the friendship as it won't recover I have found because I would never trust them again.

Lying is part of our psychological defence mechanisms. It’s essential. Before condemning the person for the lies, first seek to find out why and what it is they are fearful of.

For sure it’s still likely to be all negative, but every once in a while you may find yourself with the opportunity to help someone because you took the time to care and ask

I suppose it depends on the context OP, some little white lies you can over look as everybody is guilty of them in their everyday lives. There are other kinds of lies that may be towards the unforgivable end of the scale.

Can you provide an example where you’ve lied and thought it was acceptable . Because i don’t think there is a defence to lying. Please make it a good lie, not a white lie.

Depends on what they mean to me

If it’s just a Fb or fwb or a random one nighter

Cut them out my life

If they mean more to me try and find out why they lied and see the relationship is salvageable

It depends how much I've invested in them. If it's a casual acquaintance or work colleague I don't really pay any heed.

If it's from someone I've placed my trust in and their lie directly or indirectly impacts that then I would cut all ties.

Cut them off end of. Not even interested in reasons or excuses. Even it’s a lie so as not to upset me. That’s not how I work.

Depends who, and the entire context of the lie and its situation.

My reaction may vary greatly.

I had an ex who I spent two years with who was a compulsive pathological liar to the point he told me his dad had died and read me his eulogy when in fact he was alive and kicking. I’m now wary of who I trust and with what I trust them with. As others have said little white lies that won’t harm anyone are acceptable but things that could emotionally harm someone hell no. Cut them off. Hold your head high and move the hell on.

I’d love an example and what context would look like .

You see I think some people confuse the difference between being tactful and lying.

I think when lying is mentioned in this thread, we aren’t talking about little white lies.

Simply drop them and move on, they're not good enough to tell you the truth so they're not good enough to be given your time.

Just the tip of the iceberg of lies he told me. It was actually quite sickening. He was so convincing. He told me he had lost a child which I sadly know the pain of when in fact his son was thriving. To the point we went to a church and I lit candles and wrote in the memorial book for two people who weren’t dead. He totally prayed on my niceness and emotional side. Sickening.

How bloody heartless. That's as bad as I have ever heard about, in this type of scenario anyway. He's obviously deficient psychologically and you are better off a million miles away from that. X

I would want to know why so that I could deal with it and then move on. Ignorance is not always bliss, it's better to know in order to learn from the bad experience. Had this happen to me and after an 11 month relationship up to May last year, finding out that your partner is a self-serving narcissist who'll lie and do anything to get what he wants, doesn't deserve me. He took advantage of me financially as was greedy. I didn't ask why and didn't ask about his lies because he showed his reasons through his behaviour. Walk away from people like that and move forward x

The moment a guy asks for a loan or some money. Run. Run fast. You’re with a loser.

It depends on the lie, the person, the intent, the impact, and probably various other factors.
