I'm talking about people who get your hopes up then kick you in the teeth when you are at your breaking point.

It can be about anything...

Lie back to them!


If they are compulsive liars then I think yiu just have to treat them with the contempt they deserve
Deception, on the other hand, is another issue

When you feel you have been deceived by someone, then its better to simply cut off all ties with them!

tell them you dont appreciate them lying to you
then, if you wish to remain friends with them, you tell them to respect you enough to be honest, or they ship out

If it wasn't serious and someone was trying to spare my feelings, I am sure I can see it from their point of view and that they were acting in my best interests. If the lie was designed to be hurtful or they are a compulsive liar.... I would ditch them!!

You know exactly where you stand with a gambler, adulterer, a drunk, thief... but you never know where you are up to wih a liar!! Get rid..!! thumbs up

Old Herman's Hermits song....This door swings both way, It goes in and out!

Knew a couple some years back. I really liked them, but caught them in so many lies. But because my (now deceased) wife treasured their friendship so much, I never confronted them. I don't even know if they knew how rediculess their lies sounded.

I'm not even sure they knew they were lying and maybe even began believing their own lies. Other than that, they were good people.

But when a partner lies to you, it's a whole different ballgame. But brutal honesty can be just as painfulblues

I like to play "Columbo" with them.

Act all stupid, and ask the glaringly obvious questions that undermine thier deceptive creativity, then act surprised when it all falls apart.

Once I find out that someone is a compulsive liar. I cut them out of my life. Whether it be a partner or friends either male/female.

I have no time at all for anyone who is deceitful and a liar.

These type of people are more trouble than they are worth thumbs down

Yep, because they are lying either to "pull the wool over someones eyes" in some way, or they are lying because they are compulsive liars and they just cover up 1 lie with another one and it all usually ends in tears. Either way you can't win with a liar at all. Plus, once someone has lied to you, you can never fully trust them again ever.

It hurts at first. Then I take my time to learn from my mistakes and lack of discernment and I move on, having forgiven myself for having been an idiot and a fool.
