My boyfriend tends to lie to me about stupid things..like money. If he has 100 bucks he tells me he only has 50 and such. And I have caught him in his lies so many times. He told me that he woul d stop because he didn't know that i cared that he lied about stupid stuff like that.But in my opinion if he lies to me about small things than he's lied to me about more important things.What should I do to get it through his head that I don't appreciate him lying to me all the time.

If you can't handle him lying to you, you need to end the relationship. You're probably right.. if he lies about stupid things then he will probably tend to lie about the big stuff too. Maybe if you threaten to leave him, the shock will snap him back into reality and hopefully stop the lying. [ devilspawn_666's advice column | Ask devilspawn_666 A Question ]

darkprince13 answered Saturday July 15 2006, 6:20 pm: tell him you know he lies to you, and that you definatly don't appreciate it, and that you can't trust him if he lies all the time, if he doesn't stop, i know this is hard to do, but I would dump him.

tapdiva answered Saturday July 15 2006, 5:54 pm: 1.Lie to him and then tell him you lied and have him explain to you why it is a bad thing to lie
2. Dump him (not the best option, I know)
3. Point blank ask him what is up [ tapdiva's advice column | Ask tapdiva A Question ]

Just keep reminding him that you don't appreciate his lying. If he doesn't stop, I would advise you to break up with him because you never know what he could lie about in the future. [ LiDdLeJeSsiCa9's advice column | Ask LiDdLeJeSsiCa9 A Question ]
SavannaANDKutt answered Saturday July 15 2006, 5:39 pm: Well, there really is no way to get it through to him. I would keep impressing the matter upon him, and try to get him to realize it. But as you said, if you lies to you about little things, than he probably lies to you about more imporatant things. If you catch him again... As harsh as it sounds, I would dump him because nothing good ever comes out of liars.
