Besides, watching a liar dig themselves deeper and deeper has a certain entertainment value, no? Not to mention a chance to REALLY see who they are.

In my experience, confronting XAH when he lied will only made him
- defensive
- lie more
- give me excuses as to why the lie was not his fault, or was my fault
- deny ever having said anything remotely close to the lie, ever
I got to really see XAH's lying in action at our divorce and custody hearing and so did the judge. XAH couldn't even tell the truth to the court. I tend to take the lies very personally, but it doesn't appear to be. He just simply cannot tell the truth to
any one. The judge pointed it out to him and noted that while not excusing the behavior, it is certainly a sign of addiction, which XAH did not admit to either...
