Trusting needs courage. Knowing the person is lying to you, he/she should be trusted to let the person realise what wrong he/she is doing. I have always trusted my dear ones even while knowing they are lying. This preserves their natural behavior and lets it realise its mistakes. Trusting is very good medicine to cure lies.

Don't trust. I always believe that trusting people who have lied is difficult and damaging. And this time the pain will be difficult to get over from.

Well, then, you probably can't really trust that they will never lie to you again. What is their issue? If you can determine that and the reason for the lies and you are sure that they have dealt with the issue and it's resolved, then you can carefully work on a relationship that will slowly build up your trust again with this person.

It's hard, but I think with time it's possible. And everyone should have a second chance and the aspect why he/she lied is also important :)

This is to say you have trusted them before after they have lied correct? Some say follow your gut instinct, when sometimes that is the wrong choice and it is based off a simple impulse. Be smart, but with heart. Business majors always speak upon head vs the heart. Understand, we all fall under a few white lies, sometimes others take it to the next level. Trust does not take the other person because it mainly takes you your will to give it. We must not forget to forgive, not just forgive and forget. Trust is give and take, and if you feel that all you have been doing is giving and not receiving, it is time to have a serious sit down with this person and just be transparent. They will see your openness and trust me, no pun intended, it will be easier for them to be open.

People do have the ability to change, unfortunately, most don't. Lying and deceptiveness are often perpetuated to cover up previous lies and deceptions. The only way to fix this is to allow both people to have a clean slate, and the deceptive person needs to trust the oither enough to forgive them. Much easier said that done.

Thats a tough one to be honest. I've went through that in my life with a friend. See why they lie and tell them being honest is more better then being caught in a lie. Be very honest about it and if you see a little change thats a good thing. The more they tell the truth the more your trust for them will come back.

I think it's on the other person to change their ways before you give them your trust. They have to EARN it- prove they have changed. Until then, it is your choice who is in your life.
