Stop speaking with him. or tell him, that you know he is lying, and that it embaresses him.. and makes you think badly of him! :)

thank you for your input into this matter of what to do with a person who lies to you; is this what you normally do. I hope you have had no occasion to put this into action.

There are many reasons why a person lie. One is because it is better to tell a white lie first to protect the person's feelings, it may not be the right time yet that someone will know about something or maybe because the person lying is really a liar. When someone lies to me, I try to find out the reason first why that person lied to me. I try to understand the person. But if the person's reason of lying is not reasonable, I talk to him/her and tell them that it would be hard for me to trust them again.

well its funny that till the time u get to know that the person has been telling lies to u,the dammage might actually be done..and then u feel angry,sad and distressed..now the point is what could have u done differently to avoid such a situation..may be build so much trust that the person should not even think of lying to u..thats my opinion may be others might differ..

best thing to do is show them that you really trust them. If it is someone you love., you need to understand that the person might have had a reason to have lied to you.. if you really sure that this person is cheating you., just confront the person and ask the person what is the matter all about

in my book there is no reason to lie..there is withholding information that sometimes is necessary but to outrigt lie t you..I wonder..is there ever any reason to do so?
