8 Intelligent Ways to Deal With Dishonest People in a Relationship
Relationships are close and over time you’ll learn how to tell if someone is lying because you’ll notice a change in their behaviour. You don’t want to waste your time with someone who’s dishonest so when you start a relationship with someone you’ve met on one of your favourite dating sites you need to make sure they treat you right.
1) Ignore them
Dishonest people know they’re doing something wrong and will try to hide it because they get a rush from deceiving you. They’ll push things further to see what they can get away with and their lies will become more obvious. If you want to avoid drama then you can ignore them and this will show them that you don’t really notice what they do. They’ll feel ignored and will get bored of trying to play with your emotions.
2) Don’t give them gossip
Dishonest people can be manipulative so don’t tell them anything personal because they’ll use it against you or tell other people. This gives them one less way to mess with you and since you’re not giving them what they need they’ll either try to overcome their dishonest nature or find someone new to target.
3) Confront them
When you know for sure your partner is being dishonest then you need to confront them so the issue can be dealt with. Tell them you know what they’re doing and that you deserve to be treated better. Give them a chance to explain themselves but don’t accept excuses because only a genuine apology and attempt to fix things are acceptable in a healthy relationship.
4) Point out their contradictions
When they say something that contradicts what they said earlier point it out to them. This shows them that you know what’s going on and it could help them realize they’re lying more often than they thought.
5) Stand your ground
Don’t let them bully you or guilt you into pretending that they’re doing nothing wrong. When you know they’ve done something wrong hold them accountable and stick to your opinion. This stops them from manipulating you and you’ll have more self-respect.
6) Keep an emotional distance
Pay attention to how you feel when you’re around them and be honest about whether or not you trust them completely. Keep an emotional distance if you have doubts about them because this will make it easier for you to breakup with them if things get to that point.
7) Make boundaries
If you know they’re being dishonest with you but you’re try to make things work then you need to make boundaries. Tell them what you will and won’t tolerate and what will happen if they push these boundaries. It could mean breaking up or taking a break from each other but the important thing is following through with it.
8) Break up with them
There are lots of single people on dating sites like AdultFriendFinder so don’t continue the relationship if you don’t want to put up with your partner’s behaviour anymore. Break up with them and start looking for someone new. Now that you’ve dated someone dishonest you know the warning signs and are less likely to date someone similar.
