I think it depends on how big or small the lies are. But no matter, a lie is a lie.
The question is, how much lies can you take? What if the lie will hurt you badly in the future? Will you still accept it?
I think the best way here is to frankly tell that person that you know he is lying. And when he tries alibis to cover up his lies, its best to tell him that its no use since you have your facts and you have validated them (tell it without sarcasm and with patience), make sure that even if you have hurt his feelings by making him know that he is a liar, do not embarass him too much.
Tell him too what good it would be if he starts saying the truth no matter how painful it is.

You can't change that person.
You can talk to them, and express how this habit hurts and disappoints you.
But in the end, if you don't want to lose their friendship, you will have to deal with it. You can be there to help them break the habit though, and sometimes that's all someone needs...to know that they are liked for who the are, not by how great the lies they can tell.
Give them support and try to be understanding. Ask them why the do this. Maybe they're insecure about themself?
Good luck

Yeah, he sounds really special alright! In a pathological sort of way. You mean well in wanting to try and change him but the fact is you cannot. Anyway, how would you know if all he does is lie to you? I wouldn't worry too much about losing him because you can't loose something or someone that you never had.

Why are you continously allowing him to do so? You cant change a dogs spots.I cant lie and say oh it will be ok he will change. For he wont. End it now before your heart gets broken anymore.This person isnt special by doing this too you.

you are not going to change this person's habit so either accept the fact you will never know whether or not you are being told the truth or get wise and tell them to take a log walk off a short cliff for being so ignorant to you.

Just see into his eyes and hold his hand and tell him ur feelings and ofcoarse if u can do this in public area ( i mean more people who know both of u ) that would be best .This is because if he wants to come back truly with you and feel socially responsible he would never lie to u again.
After doing this excercise ignore him for few days .This is best test other wise only time can teach him speaking truth.
God Bless

well damn, huu, i know you have to catch him in a lie. you have to prove without a dout that he is lying. but dont chew him a new one for it. be kind and understanding. Make him feel guilty but not like your angry. if he gets defensive then there is an underlying problem and i cant really help. if this i a child and you are the parent don't let him feel that you are a threat to him, if it is an adult, alot of adults lie to defend their *** and their loved ones feelings so take that into consideration

the relationship will not grow if your partner will lie to you continously...you can't change a man in a day...you have to lay your cards with him, if he will keep his bad habit then you must go on and start looking for another special one

You should get out from your door, and meet a lot of people out there..
It's not your decision to change a persons habit. I
t should be his decision to change his habit.
When a person lies, lies and lies to you.. it means that he doesn't deserves even a little space in your mind to be think of.
Good luck,, juz forget him

I think you should continue trusting his lie patiently. Some day you will get the chance to lie (without hurting him) to him too. Once he's not ready to accept your lie, tell him that you have been accepting it so far. I hope he will realize his mistake and stop lying.
