I'm not a forgiving person when crossed and I am open about that.
I've found that confronting pathological liars never goes well, that's just my experience. If they want to stay in denial about it then they will. There's nothing I can do to somehow make them stop, I don't have that kind of power. It seems to not matter how directly you confront someone like this, if they aren't ready to own up to it you can't force them to.

I think I'm more curious as to what kind of lies people are willing to tolerate as opposed to deal breakers. For example smoking, what if someone lies about smoking? I have a few other examples. Obviously cheating is a deal breaker .

This is an excellent question. For me it's not really what people lie about, it's a matter of how often they lie to me regardless of what the topic is. There's a huge difference between someone who only lies occasionally and someone who seems to lie with every word that comes out of their mouth.
Obviously there are exceptions to my rule, because sometimes the one lie that was told has proven to be too harmful for me to continue whatever kind of relationship I had with the person who told it.
