No I wouldn't just break up with someone because I couldn't spend enough time with them, I would break up with them because of the truth...usually people say one thing and mean another because they are afraid of hurting someone, I don't know why people think that the truth is gonna hurt more then finding out that they are lying but they do. and its stupid.

This is such a general question that can'b possibly be answered fairly. There are many many motivations for lying: being considerate of how you feel, take advantage of you, etc, etc. Sorry for not able to answer your question completely. But I doubt anyone else can.

I too hate lies and believe people deserve more respect than to be lied too. Cause if the shoe was on the other foot they wouldn't appreciate it. Try not to over react though it could scare him away. Men lie cause they are too afraid of telling the truth cause they will look bad. It is good that you let him know that it affects you though. Cause in a relationship honesty is the best policy

Because you are afraid that you will get hurt, and by pretending you don't care you are hiding your vulnerabilities.

It depends on if it was to protect you, or to hurt you.  Friends shouldn't lie to each other, but people do make mistakes.  Mistakes can be forgiven.  Use your own judgement, and go with your gut feelings.  Good Luck.

Some people, believe that a white lie to avoid hurting the people they love is OK. So how serious was the lie. If he is hiding something he may find its to hard to talk to you about. Maybe worried that you would think less of him, or you would loose respect. You need a heart to heart and tell him the way you feel and you can't afford to lose trust.

When without misleading someone too much they are prevented from getting hurt by a lie. Sometimes though honesty is the best policy. It depends on the person/situation.

We often lie to protect other people's feelings, or the shelter them.\n\nImagine if you always told the truth, no matter what.\nWife: Do these pants make me look fat?\nYou: ---------\n\nYour 6yr old kid: Dad, Where do babies come from?\nYou: ---------\n\nYour boss: How's that report (the one you forgot about and haven't even started) coming along?\nYou: ---------\n\nThe IRS, or just anyone on the street: how much did you make last year?\nYou: ---------

WOW, I wonder....\n\nWell, let's think.  Even though you were really good friends, you told him a lie.  Then you set off a chain of events that further damages your relationship, even just friendship, with him.\n\nIt doesn't matter what sign he is--I don't even need to know anything more than YOU LIED TO HIM, so why shouldn't he be mad and hurt?!

Why start you relationship off lying...

I'm sorry. My boyfriend has the same problem. You might be insecure about  whatever you are lying about. When you are about to tell a lie, recognize what you are feeling just before you do. Each time you catch yourself it gets easier to reject the feeling that comes up that makes you want to lie.

What you are experiencing is verbal abuse, and you need to get out of this situation immediately. To answer your question, yes, it really hurts when people accuse you of something you're not guilty of......but they can ONLY do it , if you allow it to continue.....you sound like a nice person, your self-esteem is a little low(understandable), and you need to get out of the situation you're in, DO NOT continue to let him abuse you! Good Luck!!
