I don't think guys lie more than women do.

I think people lie because it's easier and more comfortable, because they are cowards and sometimes even to spare others from pain. Unfortunatly it's very rare that people lie to benefit others than themselves.

I guess I should have said why does this guy find it necessary to always lie and not just tell the truth.

Because that way he can keep his girlfriend as a Plan B if your daughter won't get back together with him.

The answer is: For his own benefit.

Sounds like he was just trying to make her jealous to see if she cared or how she would react

She had told him she would give him another chance, but he said he wanted to think about it now. Now he is in love with someone else, within 3 weeks.

Maybe your daughter is lying to - to herself. Otherwise I don't understand what she wants with such a creep.

Ya know hugs, I watched the daughter, of a close friend of mine, constantly go back to an abusive relationship, lies, and all, over, and over again. Seemed like all the concern, and conversations of her well being made her resist advice. It came down to a personal conversation, not between him, and her, but him and the courts. She always settled for the crap, but her family did not, and took matters into their own hands. The daughter was mad as hell, but with time, and support, no longer takes any crap from anybody. Shoots a pretty good group of three now too.thumbs up

Yes they can aberfoyle, and the most difficult part about it is, of your own love accepting the lie as truth. Been there, done that, and it's a good thing I have a strong morals, and values compass, has lies could have lead to a violent end. It'll just about tear you apart, and is one of the reasons why truth is very important to me.

True, all true. I've been lied to a great deal, and really want to trust again. The hardest part is putting aside the past and looking at someone new without any prejudice.

It is possible, but once bitten twice shy. sad flower

I could never put it aside, but had to learn from it. That, I found, to be the most difficult, as I hate like hell always asking questions like, "Where ya been., what took you so long." Even things like that strain relationships, so I pretty much just keep it in, and do the best I can for my partner, and trust I'm doing so. The rest will work out, and if it doesn't you can be assured you did the best you could. handshake
