Why do men lie even when they know that they are BUSTED?

Why do men lie about things like cheating and porno, and why do they continue to lie even when they know that they are busted and that you know the truth. I hate that! Like I know the truth and he keeps on and on with the lies, its like he thinks I am an idiot! If he would just fess up it would be so much better for him, but he just keeps on lying. WHY??????????

    It’s their nature, It is very rare to find a man who tells the truth on any planet.

    I’ll only address this on the male side for now. As one person already mentioned, it’s all about EGO. I believe men lie to spare their egos. When you catch a guy in a lie, you wound their ego. Before he gets caught, he thinks he’s just cruising along, capable of anything, powerful, having his cake and eating it too, e.g., lying about the other women, etc. He thinks he can get away with it. Then, when you catch him, you hit his ego dead on. He is forced to face the fact that he’s not invincible. But most men’s egos cannot take that kind of assault, and so they just deny it. Denial is a very effective (but also potentially problematic and self-destructive) psychological coping “skill”. They deny and deny and deny… to the ends of the earth… and even to the bitter end of the relationship as the case may be. But that says something about the guy and his values. He values his ego MORE than he values the relationship. Because when you get caught in a lie, you always have a choice. You can give up and apologize and choose to make amends, and in doing so you choose to be loved and love another person by hopefully making some behavior changes and mending the relationship. OR you can deny and lie continually to preserve your ego… which means that you choose to love yourself only. Who’s to say which is better — it’s up to the individual whether they want to be loved by another person or they want to be right and preserve their ego and their image of themselves. Many guys claim their hearts have been broken by the women who caught them in a lie (of which they claim innocence). However, if you really examine those cases, I think you will find that often it’s not their hearts that have been broken; it’s their egos that have been wounded.
