Don't know what the other would say, but I would quietly confront, in a genuinely confused, inquiring manner. "The grocery store? I thought you were going to the cleaners?" "But that can't be your mother's phone number on the cell phone bill. She's in the 212 area code."

Then let them stammer and invent new lies.

Agree with AM Martin, I would say something. Otherwise they think you are falling for it when you aren't. Isn't good to protect them by pretending you are dumb.

Get your information together and let her know what you know. Don't allow her to shroud herself in secrets. At the very least you will let her know that you're not fooled.

A "good" liar will be able to come up with "explanations" on the spot if you don't know the who, what, when, where, and why. If they are manipulative enough, they will also be able to make you feel small for asking. Have your facts straight, and gather documentation if you can.

Please read the topic Pathological Lying, under general questions. This might be the issue.

My DH is the king of liars. For everyone I confront him with,he has another to follow them up with.
Pathalogical and habitual, sad part of it all is he believes his own lies.
