How do you accept that they'll never tell the truth?

I’m having trouble letting go of something a person won’t admit to. I know the truth, and they still continue to lie… I find myself bringing it up to them all the time, and they’re getting annoyed. I know they will never admit to it, but I still can’t let it go…I’m getting sick of feeling like this.. so what do I do?

Answer #1

It would really help if we knew what exactly the situation was. But alright, hypothetically you have to come to accept that they wont tell the truth and that you can be ok with that. Because, as an adult, you chose who you have a relationship with. And so if you choose to continue to remain in this relationship, you are going to have let it go… Again, the situation would be helpful. But maybe you can write a note saying this is what I believe, and I get that it is too difficult for you to admit, so I am going to let it go.

Answer #2

I would have a hard time being in a friendship or relationship with someone who I could not trust to be honest to me. It would probably upset me even more if I actually knew the truth, knowing that what they’re saying is utter BS. So I do understand your frustration.

With that being said, I think you need to look at this as a whole. What exactly is it that they’re lying about? Is this issue really worth fighting over, feeling this upset over, or is it worth losing them over? Letting go is never really easy, but you can only go so once you have forgiven them for what they’ve done. Otherwise, you’ll always carry it with you.

Answer #3

i have to agree…like i was told some people just cant change who or what they are…and it is just not worth the hassle of getting frustrated or annoyed with the person because every time you chat you will have that hanging over your head until you settle it or just move on!

If you cant accept it then maybe it is best to avoid them for a while til it is not an issue anymore…if that is not possible then maybe indefinitely! :(

My mother is a chronic, pathological liar & cant/wont ever admit it either!

Answer #4

eh they’ll tell when they stop b*tching…at least, thats what gram-gram said >_>

Answer #5

lol.. your gram-gram’s a smart woman. :P

Answer #6

There is no free lunch Moe. If we have a frind who is in denial then that person is suffering and needs growth in a certain area. If we as human’s cannot get totally honest with ourselves and others, then there is little chancr for growth, hence we will remain in the problem and have pain.

 Am I feeling smugly superior because I know the truth? Or should I pray that this person gets honest so they will be free?  When Jesus said "The truth shall set you free" He wasnt kidding man, cuz when I am living inside a lie it feels like prison sometimes. Love has to be our angle of aproach Moe.
