Very true about lying to a Cap

No one likes a liar I get that.....my Cap had his boss do some really shady stuff today and boy is he mad. He got lied to, he came over tonight to hang out but he was SO mad he couldn't enjoy himself. I sat and listened to him and assured him that he was doing the right thing and that I was sorry this person betrayed his trust. I've heard Cappies do not take lying lightly...what if anything else can I do for him? Never seen him like this!! He told me tonight that it wasn't me he just wanted to get home. I understand that and he said it wasn't my fault when I told him I was sorry this happened. I KNOW this isn't my fault I just told him, if they hurt you they hurt me....

Yeah I have never seen him so amped up and mad. He has wrote this guy off now, said if he had another job he would quit right then!

Yep. Once I catch someone in blatant lies, they lose all credibility with me. I will no longer respect them, trust them, or value them. The relationship, regardless of its type, will be tarnished forever and will never be the same. I will tolerate, especially at work, but that's about it. They will drift from a warm friendship to a cool acquantance.

I'll just add that yesterday must have been the day for "others" to try and be deceptive toward and at the expense of Caps... I was pretty heated myself.

GemJenn, be there for him, but give him space to be in his head if need be.

Adding my 2 cents...no they do not like being lied to or "played" with in any way. That is why any attempts to trick a Capricorn into doing what you want when you want them too never turns out good becuase they have a keen sense for deception. Another reason for people to be their true selves with them because they can sniff out phony, fake and ulterior motives like freaking blood hounds. LOL

I love hearing your thoughts Pidelight, love picking your brain! He is still fuming. He asked me to look into some tax laws for him while he was at practice. Interesting, he is always the one trying to find the answers, so it is nice for him to look to me for help. Makes me feel needed!

You to TruCap!

never lie to a Cap, but Cap can lie whener LOL

See!! We need people! We have this rep for being way too independent. But we need a sounding board, a confidante, a new perspective, someone to listen.... and all that jazz!

I found out my ex-boss had lied to me; he was running a visa scam under the disguise of not-for-profit/charity organisation. And he used to treat all the migrant "workers" very badly - write them off easily; pass nasty, discriminatory comments; and steal all the credit where they had slogged to get the job done. I left when I found out because I cannot stand exploitation. And I was pretty disappointed after then and had given up on humanity.

Its good he has asked you to help him, which to me sounds like he is looking for solace and empathy. He is greatly distressed because not only has he been lied to, it happened at his work place = his worship place! And its almost sadistic having to go back to work the next day. You could do something to take his mind off it? And if he is up for it, maybe discuss next steps, strategy, etc - we love making plans and creating solutions.

I think that's true with Cap males. Haven't ever met a lying Cap female, however.

Seriously, I can count the number of lies I've told in the last 20 years on one hand! And
even those were just "white lies" told to strangers for a damned good reason. I never, ever
lie to friends or lovers.

Oh I took his mind off of it, and then we made a plan for him to try and fix this if possible! Thanks for all the advice!!
