that unless you’re prepared to become a walking/talking polygraph machine, you’re better off ending the relationship and cutting your losses. And for the record, I do believe that a person that is committed to changing their behavior can and often does. But psychiatrists will be the first to admit that pathological lying is a behavior that isn’t easily changed.
