How do you perceive/ deal with your significant other lying?

I think it just hurts when your significant other lies to you. I think it does more harm than good. I think it dissolves the trust in the relationship.


I'm not referring to infidelity.


I'm just talking about lies in general.


What do you think?


Do you overlook smallish things or do you confront your significant other in all cases of lying?How do you perceive/ deal with your significant other lying?
If your boyfriend/husband lies to hide something they have done, it really shows a lack of maturity. Their lying because their ashamed of what they did or afraid of getting in trouble. mature adults do not on a regular basis put themselves in this position. I have 2 daughters 15 and 16 they make so many bad choices they have to lie so they don't get in trouble. If my significant other had to lie to me because of a bad choice say like not coming home from work when she was supposed to and stop a the bar and spent to much money, and then had to make up a lie to get out of it. It really wouldn't hurt, but I would loose respect for her, and yes I would totally loose trust in her. I have completely lost trust in my daughters. If you have lost trust in your significant other you need to confront him. He is destroying your relationship and not showing you respect. Tell him to pull his head out of his butt and grow up and act like an adult, he has put himself on the same level as 15 or 16 year old. I guess it does hurt when someone disrespects you and lies. I hope you can convince him that lying can only do harm in your relationship. It's sad but some people would rather lie than tell the truth. Good Luck.How do you perceive/ deal with your significant other lying?
You confront them the very next time it happens, point out the other instances when you were aware of the lies and make it very, very clear that it will not happen again if they wish to save the relationship.
I guess it does depend on what they are lying about. If it is trying to protect somebody's feeling or something it might be overlooked. But, just lying about every little thing, no that's not acceptable. It would make it hard to know when they are telling the truth,or just lying. That will cause some major issues.
If only guys knew how much damage they cause when they choose to lie, especially about little things. In our heads, when they lie about dumb things they could lie about big things. Trust is definitely ruined and the basis of the relationship will fall apart. It just becomes too stressful for you. Personally, I wouldn't let him get away with any lying. What he doesn't understand is that you will eventually not even care anymore and walk away.
Confront in all cases. I caught mine in a little one then, it went to a few. Now any little lie bothers me and we have an arguement about it.





IT does hurt more.
I'm a very open person with my boyfriend and I hate when he does small lies.


I trust him with my heart and it hurts even when Im not sure where he's at because he's had issues with drugs in the past and I dont want him getting involved again.


I believe people really easily but I can always tell when he lies, which isnt often, thank god.


but when he jokes i take it seriously and i feel bad because its only a joke but i never realize it.


But yes i confront my boyfriend in any situation where i think might not be true. I think everyone should have that 110% honesty within the relationship.
