when somebody lies to you is the relationship over?

Question

??

Answer 1

Yes. It means there's no respect or trust in your relationship.

Answer 2

It all depends... Lies are not good in relationships.... if he/she lied about not getting you a birthday present for your birthday but then surprised you with a party, then that lie can be excused due to something nice being done... now on the other hand if you asked he/she where they were and they were with another person and lied to you and you know this for a fact, then that lie is no good, you shouldn't tolerate that crap unless that other person was their cousin or brother or sister or some close relative, not some close friend.... Try to make out what kind of lie that person has told you and if you can't get it out of your mind then either talk it out with that person and tell them how you feel and try to fix the relationship. If you can't get over it and have talked and they aren't helping you with that then I suggest you leave that other person. Don't be with some one who lies to you, the truth is ugly, scary, and sometimes straight up rude... but I'd rather have the cold hard truth than a sugar coated lie that will kill me in the end. I wish you luck babe.

Answer 3

Not necessarily. What did they lie about? Was it something serious? Were they sorry? How many times did it happen? What kind of person was it? What were the circumstances? Do you think it will happen again? Did they try to hide or deny the lie?

Whether or not the relationship is over is up to the person that was lied to. They should proceed with caution.

Answer 4

Dependant upon the magnitude and extent of the deceptive behaviour... sometimes it can be a relationship killer... my ex lied to me about being in love with me (we lived in different cities) and moved a girl he met in his AA group into his home and didn't tell me until I made plans to come down for the weekend, then he told me by text... for me that lie meant that he had no respect for me or our relationship, that I could no longer trust him and it was the end of our relationship.... once trust is gone from a relationship it is very difficult to ever give it again.

Answer 5

If they lie about something serious like an affair, stealing, etc.. I would probably have a hard time trusting that person again.

If they lied about how much money they make, how much they weigh, why they can't come to visit, etc... Then I let them know that they lied and go on.

I fudge a little bit sometimes!!!!

Answer 6

It depends on the lie and also if it is something you are willing to forgive. If you cannot forgive the lie, then the relationship may be over. If you can forgive the lie, perhpas get counseling to help discover why there was a lie in the first place. Best wishes to you

Answer 7

Honestly it's up to you, if you want to give him another try why not especially if your in love. If you don't see anything special coming out of the relationship and feel you can find better chalk it up as a loss. It's all about whether you see a future with this person or not.

Answer 8

Depends what the lie is. If it is something major like he is married and told you that he was single..then yea it's over. But if it is something silly like if he told you he loved reality TV but he really hates it then no it's not over. Relationships have ups and downs and every relationship has fights.

Answer 9

That's really situational, but chances are high if the relationship isn't over, it's going to be changed dramatically. I have a near-zero tolerance for lying.

Answer 10

The relationship doesn't have to be over. But don't ever think it will last, or should last. If someone can't respect you enough to be honest then that will eventually drive between you.

Answer 11

No what is the point if he lies to you still your relationship is on dont tell me if your brother lies to you then still he is your brother.
