That'a a hard one. Is he known for lying in the past? It's good to have trust, but we careful you don't get hurt and mislead.

the people who say he is, can not, or will not give you specific lies.  The reason they won't, if they do, it is too easy to prove them wrong.

If you believe in something strongly then telling the truth will only make life easier. You will have a load of..If another person is involved then you should approach the problem rationally and take into account other person's point of view and respect it if you really care about the person.

if the person is already lying im sorry to tell you he will never tell the whole truth.Plus even if he does tell you the whole truth how do you know he isnt lying then.I hope you can figure a way out to find out if he is telling the truth

Certain things happen when folks lie. It is hard to make eye contact so you may want to try forcing that. Most people will give more details to a lie than when they are telling the truth. \nBut can you handle the truth?

If you tell a lie enough eventually you will believe it

If you just memorize the Lie I've seen that my friends still accidently have a twitch to the other side so it still looks as if their lying, When they started believing the lie though that is when the shift started going to the memory and sensory side. You have to memorize the lie and begin to convince yourself of it deeply otherwise you can still tell if the person your talking about is still lying to you

Basically in life, everyone lies. If not they aren't homosapiens. To trust someone is a very difficult thing to do. Before you can start trusting someone, ask yourself this question, "Do I trust anyone in the first place?" You must sacrifice something in order to gain something. You are afraid that someone lied to to you. Is the matter a big one or a small one or it's just your feeling? The best way is to ask the person directly in a gentle manner. People lie but you must never keep that anger/worry in you. Learn how to forgive and forget as it could be the best remedie in living a happier life!

no not unless asked by the court.\nIf asked by the court and you lie, then you may be charged with perjury also.\nThats a big one!

Please now this..... One lie leads to others and small lies lead to big ones. If she is lying about small stuff who know is she is lying about other things. I mean look at the situation a liar is a liar. And lying in a relationship breaks the trust. U will stop trusting her and things will fall apart so its best that u set it straight and let her know either she stop lying or its over........

Telling lies depends on the persons attitudes\nFew people say lies unnecessarily.\nFew will say lies when it s neaded\nand few to cover their own mistakes tells lies\nand very few will never say lies even they r about to die for their truth.\nhere there can be other constrain also,It also depends on how far u speak truth to those people

Trust?   Well I might think their reasoning might be a little off. So I would weigh that in. \nAnd some just plain lie --maybe they believe it--I don't know.\n\nSo I would be careful.

There's not much you can do at this point.  If you told someone something and they end up telling someone else, and you didn't want them to, then you have learned an important lesson in life which is not to trust anyone.  Sometimes it's best just to keep things to yourself if it would be hurtful to you for them to get out.  Hopefeully the person doesn't tell - then you will have found a trustworthy person, but they are rare.  I hope you will learn from this and be more careful who you tell things to.  Good luck.

Yes, but because you have to be so careful to weed out the liars and those who don't interest you, it's just not worth the time and effort. And after a while, the experience with a few bad apples makes you leary of trusting anyone. That's no way to be when what you want to do is open your heart.

I agree that asking would not work.  If you try asking here are some clues that he may be lying.  He says "What" when you ask him.  He asks for more details (what do you know) like "When" or "With who", he takes a longer time to respond (he's thinking of a lie), also it has been my experience that people are actually more calm when they lie, think about it if someone asks you if you did something wrong that you didn't do you'd be like "No Way!" and you'd get more agitated if they persisted.  But if you did do this bad thing you'd be kinda calm/monotone/Homer Simpson-like "No, I didn't do that" and you'd get more nervous if they persisted.  I would try spying on him first and see what you can dig up before you go asking questions that make you look distrustful.
