How does a liar react when caught? I feel like I'm the crazy one

[keeptryin]

I need help. I caught my girlfriend in a lie. I found proof that she's been lying to me about her job. She doesn't really work where she says -she doesn't work at all. I won't go into details about all the other lies I found out but I have 100% proof. I confronted her and she gave me no reaction at all except that I don't know what I'm talking about. She was calm about this.

Then today she has changed her tune and she has been showing me all kinds of proof that she's not lying. Her friend who I know is part of the ruse, who works at the place where she has been pretending to work has posted all stuff on my g/f's (i should say Ex b/c i don't even want to stay with her with all the lies I found out) facebook page about how great it was at work today, etc. But the thing is I know she wasn't at this job.

Anyway My question is when someone is caught lying do they react this way. Do they continue going on with the lie even though you have proof. She's making as if I never even showed her proof. She just continues pretending that she's this big executive at this place where she doesn't even work. She even told me how great her day at work was today...I feel like I'm the nut when I saw her someplace else and it wasn't even work.

When people still engage in that type of baseless and pointless lying, they often react by perpetuating the lie even after getting caught.

 

They can withdraw, become hostile, become dismissive, or accuse the person who caught them of ignorance.

 

People who lie like this are not ready for mature, adult relationships.

 

It's easy to catch her for good. Get a tape recorder, call her company, ask for her and record the receptionist who points out that no one by that name works there. If she continues this pointless lie, she most certainly is lying about other things that are more meaningful.

That's easy I guess. Call the company itself or go to the actual office. If she's not lying, ask her if you can go their office or something. I mean what's the point of her lying anyways?
