When someone close to you lies how long does it take to regain their trust?

Forgiving someone doesn't equate trusting them again. If someone can lie to you once, they can do it again. They are even likely to have lied to you many times but you only know about one.

Nope, once lied to it's a one way street. Forgiveness is a totally separate thing. I can forgive you for what you did but doing so doesn't require me to trust you again, nor does my forgiveness mean that something in you has changed you into someone that doesn't lie anymore.My ability to forgive isn't limited to how close I used to feel before I was lied to.

Forgiveness is a choice. And so is lying. I don't have to forgive, they didn't have to lie.

Even if they never lied to me again, someone who makes that choice can't go back. It's like murder in a sense. You can't take it back.

I've said it many times in other answers but it applies here too. My ability to love someone doesn't make that person lovable. But to be fair my decision to trust someone is a choice as well.

Forgive, but don't forget. Choose to forgive and forget? Don't complain if it happens again.

Forgiving them doesn't mean I have to prove I trust them again either. I can forgive a bear that ate my child, but I'm not going to have another child and put them in with a bear again.

Depends on what kind of lie. My father tells "annoying" lies all the time, like saying he'll be 5 minutes late then he'll be 30 minutes late. Something you just have to let it go.

We cannot to be strict in our relationship, after all we all have our faults. But if you mean cheating with someone else, then it's another matter. I might forgive them, but it will take very long time and careful observation if he's really changed to make me start to trust him again.

Meh not that long I'm a pretty trusting/forgiving/forgetful person, and I know they didn't mean any harm by it.

Never or very very long, because I cannot stand lying.

I think it really depend on what they lied on and how you as a person handle it. Each person is different and will react differentlly. I personal forgive easily but I alway have thoughs thoughts deep in the back of my mind.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
