this is in certain instances, of course.
- the person didnt respect you enough to tell you the truth, or
- the person didnt know you well enough to realize that a lie to avoid an argument would create a worse argument and greater hurt.
- the person cares more about being 'right' to the point of hurting you to save his/herself the admittance.
- you can't be certain if the person is lying the next time something happens.
- trust takes a long time to rebuild.
- if someone lies once about something, and you catch them, they've probably lied before and not been caught. and chances are, they'll try to do it again.
- relationships should be built on trust..
“I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you” F.N.
