How to help someone who is a pathological liar? He has many good qualities except that his weakness is women, he denies he has gf, he can't tell them the truth, just the ones these gals want to hear. He says he is a Christian, I want to help him be a better person, is that possible?

hlskitten agony auntSounds like a nightmare to me, you wont ever trust the guy. He would need some councelling I expect. Otherwise he wont change. Women always think they can change blokes, its never gonna happen.

There's a psychological reason he does it, & only a trained person will ge to the bottom of that, then be able to help him.

Good luck

You can't really change a liar, that is part of his personality and how he chooses to get away with what he wants to do....so now you can't "help him be a better person." What you can do is not tolerate his lying and call him out on it when he does it so that he knows you aren't falling for it....he probably just try to be a better liar, sadly. He has to want to change, and if he is a grown man, it is unlikely, very unlikely that he will change.
