Before getting a major shock from that guy better run away from him. You should know your self-respect. Passing time with a liar will be a dangerous move. A liar is a criminal who can turn into a big criminal in the future. Maybe he will plan to kill you in the future. So before things get worse, you should make a move.
If you feel like you can not build a solid relationship on the foundation of trust that is between you and your boyfriend, then I believe you should consider your options. Understand that trust is the foundation for any relationship. A house build on a good and solid foundation will be able to stand and hold strong. A house on sand will crumble before you know it, ruining the home entirely. But, building a home on a foundation that LOOKS good, and seems to be stable will only last for a certain time. But, it will eventually crack and become unsteady, causing the house to fall. Remember this, and the choice is yours to make

I think the answer to this depends on you but I can help you gather your thoughts a bit here.
I would suggest you to try asking yourself of all the possible reasons he could be lying to you about the particular matter.
After that, try to find if any of the reasons you came up with are justified or not. If yes, could you forgive him for lying to you about that?
Next I would ask you to try asking yourself what all have you done to try and find out more about the situation and resolve it. If you come up with many answers ask yourself if they worked or not. If they didn't work, could there be something else that you can do to try and resolve your situation or get the answers you need?
You are the one who has an answer to all these questions and the answers would help you reflect and find your answer because at the end of the day it's you who makes the decision for yourself.

This is purely up to you. If you feel like you might want to try giving him another chance, you can do that but if you feel unsafe in the relationship, you may need to possibly consider ending the relationship. What matters when making a decision as serious and big as this is how big the lie is, how much danger it might put you in, and so on and so forth. If you need further help please reach out to a listener or someone else who might be able to help. Stay safe and take care of yourself.
Not necessarily. Usually, there is a reason (or perhaps several reasons) as to why a person lies in a relationship. Perhaps you could find out why your boyfriend lied/is lying, and see whether or not his reasons are good enough. Lying to someone is not a great trait, granted, but there can be positive reasons to lie, i.e. to surprise or plan something. However, if your boyfriend was lying to you about who he was with, where he was and when, or perhaps what he was doing, it could be a good idea to evaluate your relationship. Ask yourself honestly, is he worth the time, effort - and the lies? Your answer to this question could be helpful to you.
