Why do we lie?

Well, for a fact, we all do lie but there are really other people that lie terribly, I mean, a big liar! I had a boyfriend before who lied to me terribly and I know the truth... I hate it. Same feeling that you are feeling right now. And you are right, it is NOT right to be with someone who lies to you all the time... My advice is to talk to your boyfriend about it and maybe you can try to patch things up. Goodluck!

I find it impossible not to lie, or, to put it more mildly, to always tell the truth (and the definition of a lie is that it is not the truth.) But by telling the truth you might actually cause more harm than by telling a lie. Now there are hundreds of shades in lies, white lies, outright black lies (they are the ones you tell with the intention to deceive), grey ones (where you keep part of the truth from somebody, even though that part is the crucial part) etc. When educating my children I have to be honest, which means I have to tell them that I tell lies (talk about catch22). I just ask them to do it as little as possible. A life without a lie would be a lie, it´s just difficult to accept it when one is on the receiving end.

I think everyone lies at some point, whether it's to themselves or to others. Whether it's right to stay with someone who is lying to you, it all depends on the magnitude of the lies, and whether you think the relationship is worth saving. It also depends if they're lying to protect themselves, to protect you, or a combination of both. Only you know whether you're willing to give someone another chance after they've lied to you.

so you know to be a liar is not funny, but sometimes we are obliged to, whe we don't want to make a problem with some one, or to make a solution for a problem, but when we lie to make profit of someone or to be just cool, that's is too bad !!

Yes,I believe that everyone of us don't want to be cheated by related persons.Except the "shanyi de lie",we will dislike to hate the man who lie to us after we konwn the truth.You should warn him that you hate to be cheated!Please enhance your mind's eye!

We lie to survive. Just kidding. There are many reasons why sometimes we do lie.

i think many guys tell the lies. they actually try to act too smart. i have seen so. also they do it to enjoy the life elsewhere. i have seen some guys just want to enjoy as much as they can although it can hurt other's sentiments.

i believe we guys ourseleves should not be always lie. sometimes lies r basic on good but sometimes not. one lies depends on lots of lies. when u tell a lie. u have to tell more and more lie.

I used to always lie as a child, right up until I was in my 20s but I just got out of it in the end, and now I cannot lie to save my life!! My hubby lied to me once, not so long ago, really really bad lies, and I do not know why as I knew the truth, but he just told me lie after lie after lie, and that hurts more than knowing the truth!!

It would seem that way, but i dont believe that.It's sad that your boyfriend did to you, and i can understand how you feel.It's hard to trust someone that lies.But i cannot in all honesty say that i would leave,that will have to depend on the severity of the lies.But for me when trust is broken it's hard for me to stay.But thats just me.

Some men lie yes, my partner did it once, I told him to go but couldnt quite make him go through with it as I felt our relationship was worth saving it was worth more than letting my hurt get in the way of what we had. Only you know if you should be with someone who has lied to you it depends do you think you can forgive him and forget what happened and trust him again if you can then stay and try to work through things although you need to make it clear to your boyfriend how things lay and what you will do if it happens again. I guess it also depends on how serious the lie was too

In my own opinion, any human being has committed a lie. Some may lie because its in their blood already, a constant lier for instance. Some may lie because it was asked by the situation. That what we call white lies. For me people have reasons on lying. You yourself admitted that you commit a lie. I don't know whom you lied to and why you have to do it. Now, remember the saying don't do unto others what you don't want others do unto you? I know its hard to stay honest as ever but we also know that the person we are with are also human who commits mistakes. Its a good thing that he had admitted that he lied to you. For me its a sign that he don't practically do it to hurt you. If you are not comfortable to be with someone who lied to you then tell him that. If you're willing to give up on him just because of a lie so be it. Just remember it is only you who knows what is good for you. No one can dictate that. Better assess yourself before doing any decision. Goodluck!

I think it is human nature for all to lie at some point in our lives, now what is the severity of this lie, that could be the more important thing here, is it a lie like they cheated on you but they are saying they didn't but you have a good feeling they did, or did they lie about saying you looked good in a dress or something? Take that into account because like i said i think everyone lies, whether or not they are lying to save their butt or just not to hurt ones feelings or they know they made a mistake who knows

There are many reasons for lying. Mostly we lie to save ourselves, to hide something from someone or to mislead someone. But all lies are not bad but some are. I used lie about my marks in school as a result everybody used to be happy.
