How to deal with a liar?

My boyfriend and I broke up a few weeks ago bc he cheated on me. I was willing to forgive him. We didn’t talk or see each other for 2 days. We started hanging out and seeing each other everyday after that. 3 weeks later we still see each other almost everyday, talk, text, hookup, and pretty much everything a couple does. But we aren’t together. He wants to stay friends and be close too. I was okay with that. The thing is, these last 3 weeks I’ve just caught him lying to many so many times. About the simplest things too and I confront him. Doesn’t really do anything but say sorry. Idk what to do because it just seemed like it’s ruining everything, even our plain friendship. How does he expect to be close friends and regain my trust when I keep catching him in these lies. Idk how to approach it besides confronting him all the time. And I always get mad but then I don’t stay mad at him when I should be furious.

If he lies all the time and even cheated on you, he can't be trusted. Sure love is blind and forgives all things but there should be a limit, and if you are here telling us these things, it means that you reached yours. I know by experience that if someone cheats, it's probable that he will do it again, and if the friendship is all you want to save, then take a step back, give it some time and try to make a barrier between friendship and hooking up.

Cheating is a huge act of betrayal. Break it off completely. This person cannot be trusted.

Not sure you'll like my answer and as hard as this may seem, it may be time to move on. He cheated on you and continues to lie to you. You'll be better off without him and you'll find someone who deserves your trust. I don't know him obviously but it sounds like he knows you'll forgive him and welcome him back with open arms, you deserve better. You really do.

They didn't come up with the saying "once a cheater always a cheater" for no reason. If he was really dedicated to you or at least cared about you he wouldn't have to go out and find another girl to please his desire. I think because you forgive him so easily he knows he could continue doing things and and easily runs off with just a slap on the hand. To me i feel like he's using you.. You sound like a really nice person and i think you could totally find somebody who would only look at you, crave your attention, admire your personality, treat you the way you deserve to be treated. Good Luck.
