Dunno if this is just a quirk of mine but if I personally catch someone lying to me, that's it.
The fantasists I've known (like the work colleague whose own unarmed body was classed as a lethal weapon or the friend who spun yarns about local police secret operations) become irrelevant. I don't have any time for them because I can't believe a word they say.
The reason they do it doesn't matter, I'm not interested in them any more.
Same in relationships. Small lies, big lies, they're the same. Off he goes.
It's not a line I've drawn or a principle I live by, it's just how it is. You can't have any kind of adult relationship with liars. They're untrustworthy.
