How do you all handle chronic liars?
I have a girlfriend whom I have known since the age of ten. At 13, or 14 I noticed that she had a lying problem. She wouldn't lie about big things, but tons of little things. For example, she would lie about how she got home from an event, saying the bus when she took the train, ridiculous stuff like that!
On the other hand, she was the sweetest person I knew. She would do me favors that no one else would, and she was so sensitive to whatever feelings I had.
But I really couldn't understand or take the lying. After a while, when I was around 17, I just stopped spending time with her. On a base level, I felt personally insulted every time she'd tell me another silly lie, because I thought, "Wow, she must really think I'm an idiot." Now, as I'm older, I realize that her problem was personal and had nothing to do with me, and I feel stupid for cutting off that relationship.
