I'm certainly not trying to be sexist here and guys - please feel free to post repsonses. I just have a question.

Why do men lie? Why do they lie even when they know that history repeats itself and us intelligent women pick up on that? Do they not know that we are intuitive and can read people? I've always had a knack for reading people - my problem is I don't listen very well to my gut feelings. Have they just not learned to communicate properly?

Why do they lie when they know that you know the truth? I have had many long term relationships and for sure there have been many that would never ever lie to me but what is this character defect that causes people to lie? I know women do too - but for this particular thread - I am curious of the male gender.

Is there something in certain kinds of upbringing that triggers this?

I'm just looking for guidance here I guess. I've got a call into my therapist - see if I can get a super fast appointment today. But in the meantime - how much lying do you take from someone before you just say Screw it!
