LadyH answered Monday April 9 2007, 8:24 pm: What exactly did he lie about in the past? I'm assuming the severity & the repeative lies was enough to break up with him. So what makes you think he won't lie to again? Yes, it's very well possible for a person to change. But it's also possible he can lie to you again. If you can't trust someone in a relationship (especially going into one), it's really not worth it. Don't commit to someone who can't be honest with you & who you have to constantly worry if they're lying to you. Reevaluate the situation & make a wise decision. If you completely trusted him again, you wouldn't be seeking assurance from others on the internet. It's very well obvious he's not the guy for you & you should not set yourself up for disappointment. [ LadyH's advice column | Ask LadyH A Question ]
LagunaBabe answered Monday April 9 2007, 8:01 pm: I think you should take some time to think this over, and really think about if you want to take the risk of him lying to you again. If he's done it once, there is that possiblity that he'll do it again. Not saying that he will positively do that, I'm only stating it is possible.
It really comes down to how much confidence that you have in him being trustworthy. If you think he deserves a second chance, then I would give him one. After speaking to him about this, and explaining that he cannot start lying to you again -- or it's over.
If you feel he doesn't deserve another chance, then I would let things remain as they are. Follow you heart, it will lead you to the right place. And as I mentioned, if he does this again I would break up and stay friends only, or not even friends. That is of course, your decision. Good luck!

PGTips4 answered Monday April 9 2007, 7:37 pm: The fact that you are asking this question means you already have your own answer but are afriad to follow it up in case you have no-one to blame if it goes wrong, but how can you live if you are too busy being afriad of if's and but's and what other people think of you. You have to find compromise between what you brain and heart want. [ PGTips4's advice column | Ask PGTips4 A Question ]
Sky1435 answered Monday April 9 2007, 7:12 pm: the question is are you willing to give him another chance and forget all the stuff he did because you can truly get on with a relationship if you wont be able to trust him.
I know how you feel and this may be a hard decision btu you have to realise that some people arent willing to change and you have to talk to him about this before you guys take another shot because i dont want to see you or anyone in the situation get hurt.
Sit down and talk it out.
If he doesnt agree to change then he isnt worth it.
I know this might be hard so
Stay Strong,

DepthofHeart answered Monday April 9 2007, 7:11 pm: It's normal to miss your old boyfriend. He was after all a big part of your life. So talk to him, that doesn't mean you have to get back together with him. Guys and girls CAN be just friends. And just because he hurt you that doesn't mean you can't give him a second chance, even if that's just your friendship. Good Luck
pacsunnnx3 answered Monday April 9 2007, 7:10 pm: if you're ex shows that he truely misses you, then maybe you should go back out if you trust him enough to know that he wouldn't lie to you again. if he doesn't really show an interest anymore, i would find a new guy to get your mind off him and a guy that wouldn't lie to you. i hope i helped, good luck<3 [ pacsunnnx3's advice column | Ask pacsunnnx3 A Question ]
