I am in a relationship with Capricorn man but one of the problems is that he lies about little things and he never ever accepts that he lied. I tried my best to stop him from lying i tried every thing from fighting to talking in calm way i tried to take him in confidence that i will not fight with him if he will tell me the truth but still every time he lies confidently as if he was right. Is there anything i can do to stop him from lying

If you can't trust him, there's not much future to the relationship.

I would flat out call him out on his lies and confront him directly. See what he has to say for himself. Might even, observe a while to see if he does it again. But, still, if I have to go back to observe mode and watch for lies, the trust is broken and there's not much hope for the relationship.

However, with discovering the reasoning for the lies it could be worth an effort to try.

Maybe he lies to make himself look better because he has self esteem issues.
Maybe he lies because he's embarrassed of his true self and afraid you won't like him?
Maybe he lies because he wants his life to seem more exciting because he's afraid he's boring.
Maybe he lies to avoid punishment. (Strip club? Why, no. I don't disrespect women like that).
Maybe he lies because he wishes he handled something a different way than he did.
Maybe he lies to be kind to people because the truth would hurt them. ( Ex: No babe, you don't look fat)

He may not even realize he's doing it because he's accepted the lie as truth.

Don't get me wrong, I have no tolerance for liars, but he might have some issues he needs to work through and could stop the lying.

@truecap, good list but, you know as well as i do, or anyone with just insight within a love relationship between man and woman....

most women don't wanna hear the truth if she has gained alot of weight.

Man: "you're fat as hell, lose weight!"
Woman: "you insensitive jerk!" cries hard.

they'd rather hear:

Man: "darling, the clothes you wear are more fuller, and you still look gorgeous as ever with a fuller butt and more more to love!"

Woman: "aahhh pffssst you sweetie pie you." blushes and thinks how sweet her man thinks of her.

also....

man in relationship who goes to strip clubs but doesn't tell his wife or girlfriend:

"god i can't stand that woman and she just turns me off with her nagging and annoyance, she never gives me any peace! i need to go to a strip club and find me some REAL loving!"

woman: "where you going huh? huh? you gonna stay out late again!?"

man: "no sweetie, just gonna go out with the guys okay darling?"

man returns very late at night with smell of semen and sex, and lipstick all over his collar.

Out of curiosity, what's he lieing about?

Yes I'm wondering as well what he's lying about?



Posted by Gobshite
Two questions:

1) What is he lying about? Examples?

2) What's his moon sign?

He lies about even little stuffs such as his age, his mother tongue which i accidentally came to know. currently i am in a fight with him because he lied to me that he didn't send any friend request on facebook to other girls(He has given me his password i saw notifications that other girls have accepted his request) i told him that i have no problem with it if he send request to others but still i wanted to know who were they but he refused to accept the fact that he sent requests to them and that he doesn't know who were those girls. I wonder why is he telling lie when its clear that its he who sent requests because no one else have the password.

He has

Ain't nobody got time for those kind of bullsh*t lies. Either accept it and not take his word for truth or leave him.

His lies are petty, probably stemming from something psychological (fear or habit, perhaps).

You do seem pretty controlling though. I for one, could care less who my aqua is friends with on Facebook. Such a menial, petty thing to get upset with or argue about. In fact, I can't even imagine asking him for his passwords. Who does that?

You can't change a man's character so stop trying to raise a grown man. What you see is what you get.

The more you give him attention for doing something bad he'll just keep doing what you don't want him to do to get more attention. You're actually enabling the behavior by giving him more and more attention for lying.

Either accept the fact that he lies about every little thing he can possibly lie about or leave him alone.
