What would you do, if someone has been lying to you for months?
Would you:
a) call them out on it face to face??
b) let them continue and see how far they are willing to take it??
c) have some fun with it??
d) would that affect the trust you had for them for other things?? |

Who is it ?
How detrimental are the lies to me ?
Will it make any difference to the relationship ?
These things matter.
I mean. If it's my neighbour who says they love flowers and they don't why would I want to call them out on it ?
What kind of lie is it ? |

"D. My trust is a bloody hard thing to gain and an easy thing to lose."
I agree totally...this person knows about the trust issues this person has had in the past and has persistently lied...Its been impressive. |

Depends what the lie is.
There is no one size fits all answer, without details it's meaningless.
You're not going to have the same response to finding out someone has lied about cheating on their diet compared to say they've been cheating on their partner |

Ok I agree the basic white lie is not the issue...Its a huge effects the person who wants to call them out on it...They are good mates (or thought they were!)...Cud effect them in a big way...Or change the dynamic. |

"a)
Straight up! Face to face straight to the point!
Would you trust them again?"
As Granny says, it depends on the lies, the person, the reason for the lie, and my relationship with them. |

I've had the same thing. I won't discuss it in the forums but I was once in love with someone who didn't lie to me but he didn't lie, but he didn't tell me the truth to protect me, so as a result I got twice as hurt when I found out the truth. It's been three years and I've never totally forgiven him for being such a super rat. |

I give them a chance to provide me with a reason for their dishonesty , but if they attempt to provide an excuse instead of a reason, my response changes accordingly. |

I wouldn't even expect the truth from them at all after months of lying. I would do A and call them out on it, see if they're willing to explain properly or gonna lie more.
If they lie more then i cut them dead, cry a lot and look for ways not to be conned again like that.
If they're truthful and seem genuinely sorry i might consider trusting them again but it's unlikely.
You can't have fun with lies. I am providing a pic service and can transfer his face to your ass cheek or your ass to his face if you want that? That's some fun you can have with liars... |

Yep. Totally agree. My instinct says A and D. Trust gone gone gone. Good luck dealing with it. |

Cut their throat, hang draw and quarter them, put out their eyes and toss them into a pit of lime, ffs, the world is full of liars, learn to rise above it and don't let it piss you off |

I'd be curious about why they'd lie to me and likely A.
We all lie, it's part of being human, telling a few each day.
A close friend would shock me if I'd been deceived for so long. But maybe there's something to be learned about them or ourselves - what part have we to play in being lied to? |

I disagree. When I married I made the decision to completely stop lying about anything, and I can honestly say on a personal level I did not for at least 20 years. It's harder that way, you have to face issues you could otherwise avoid, and live without compromise, but it is possible, and I found it very fulfilling. Lying is a violation.
If someone lies to avoid hurting my feeling, or losing me, or to protect me, I may choose to tolerate it somewhat more than if they are lying to manipulate or control me, but either way it makes it infinitely harder to trust, and I find that really sad. |
