I think Liar gets more hurt. As once the person he lied to knows the truth the lied to person may get hurt but will recover and even move on. For liar lies keep following him around all the time and when he is alone and quite they haunt him. Our bad deeds never leave us they come back to make us feel guilty all over again and again. So a liar gets hurt more. More than any person he has ever lied to he at first lives in the fear of being found out once found out he lives with the guilt forever.

I think the one lying gets hurt the MOST, though both are hurt, because those who are lied to have no control over the situation.

For me its the liar is the one get hurt most, coz its the lier who will suffer the consequences.There is a saying "You will harvest what u've planted". So liar will lose other peoples trust and friendship when people find out he lied to them. The time will come if a liar feel that no one trust on him...even if he is saying the truth...thats the time "liar hurts the most"

mindz me, good comment. everyone is hurting when something like this happens. i have come to find that people fear the unknown. that because they don't know what will happen, the lie so that they have some control over the out come. but the real out comes when the truth has reared its head and everyone is crying. the truth is not always easy, but it is alway needed

I think out of both of these the person who is being lied to is the one who gets hurt the most. They are there just trying their best to trust their instincts and be faithful to whomever they are with. I don't think the liar gets hurt at all until they go ahead and try to tell the truth. I think to lie to anyone you have to have a completely absent conscience and not care about the person very much to go ahead and start lying to them. If there's one thing that I know, that is: Karma will come around and bite them in the butt for all that they have done. There is nothing right in lying to someone you care about!! You'd better think twice about lying about anything... I'd never do that to someone I cared about, no matter how much I had to "hide". I think to truly believe in love in the first place you must promise to each other to be completely honest with each other. Upon doing that you must not go back on your word and always stick to your word. At least, that's what I look for in a gentleman. I've been on the receiving end of some lies. There have been times where I've wanted to just punch the liar in the face or scream at him/her until I was all cried out and there was no disappointment left, just a feeling of being more at peace in the world. I don't freely accept liars into my life and I like to think my other half is being honest with me even though he's had problems with that in the past. I wish there was a way to just tell kids and to keep reminding them that honesty is better than lying about anything, no matter how small. I think it's easier to tell the truth in the long run. At the same time I think it's just as easy to spot a liar or a fake a mile away. I've learned how to do this myself and I think it helps me to realize who the good people are from the bad. So, in conclusion, I think it's the person being lied to that ends up getting hurt. The person who is the liar just completely deserves no respect or trust until they can change their ways. Thanks for allowing me to share! xx

Both can get hurt. The person being lied to suffers the most, because trust is lost, and every person (man or women)they meet will have to pay for their mistakes(lies). It will be so hard for them to trust again. The person that is doing the lying will suffer in the long run because what goes around comes around and all the lies they told will resurface.

The liar, if he is doing that to protect his friend from loss of confidence/motivation due to the brutal truth may hurt the most. But generally, it is the person being lied to who is hurt more, especially in cases of frauds and scams.

I would say the one being lied to gets hurt the most. They lose faith in trust because of it. How exactly does the liar get hurt?

I think the one being lied to gets hurt the most initially, because the trust is broken instantly, but in the longrun the liar gets hurt too because chances are he will lie again in the future then nobody will trust him

obviously the other person get more hurt when he knows tht u r did lie to him its a matter of trust. it surely means tht u didnt trust him so u did lie.

i've been both. i think a liar gets more hurt than the person lied to(only if both are very close). i've personally experienced it. stil i havn't disclose my lie to my best friend for which sometimes i hate myself.:( even i've thought of killing myself at times.. :( its been eating me for months.

there is no news or lie so big that you want to kill yourself. i am not sure what your lie is, but i don't think it calls for hating yourself. that's what lies do they eat you up. you have to tell your friend the truth and ask for forgivness. the longer you wait the harder it is going to be and the more it is going to eat you up. if you need to talk you can send me a private message. but i don't want you talkin any more about killing yourself!!

thanks for ur concern momma. right now that friend of mine is in abroad. such a nice person he is. he never lies to me. watever happens to him he'l tel it to me, however bad the matter is. but i dont tel him. :( i'm very guilty for this.this guilt only had made me to think about killing myself. actually, i've told him that i had lied, but didnt tel him wat lie it is. i've promised him that someday i would tel him. i'm really scared about that moment. :( only God should help me.

The person who is being lied to gets hurt the most. Take for instance if I was in a long term and loving relationship that ended suddenly because of something that my partner hid from me. I find out what was going on and confronted him. Instead of telling me the truth...he lied to me. It would hurt me drastically because this is someone I gave my all to, whom I loved and trusted for so long. How can anyone in their right mind find the guts to lie to someone they love?

i don't know. but i think it depends on the situation and the person. not saying that lying is good, but sometimes people think they are protecting people

I have heard people say that too. To lie or not to lie, I guess that's what they ask themselves' in situations like that. But honestly, I would like to be told the truth...even if the truth will hurt me.

I think both parties are equally hurt, both lose in the trust department, the one lying can't be trusted and the lied can't trust -- and relationships without trust are very good relationship -- everyone loses!!

The one being lied to gets hurt the most. It is very painful to find out that the one you love or trust in your life has been deceiving you... especially matters of the heart or involving your commitment to each other. Been there, been through that, and I know I was the one that was the most hurt.
