Lying

[lynnc35]

Would you stay with a spouse, husband, wife, that had a huge problem lying. My husband lies about everything so much that he makes us stories, complete stories, I never know if he is telling the truth. Alot of the lying he says he does for my good.

Men will usually lie to avoid an argument,.lol thats what my bf does.
The only way to reverse it is when you finally get the truth out dont overreact bc that what he was trying to avoid in the first place right?

I had an ex bf that used to lie about stuff like what he had financially.  He had a need to make himself seem more important than what he was.  For example he was into penny stocks and he would lie about the amount of stocks he had or how much he sold the stocks for things like that.  I hated it when he did that like he had to pump up his self esteem so people would think he was so great.

I'd say guys in general lie unconsciously, but when it becomes everyword that comes out of his mount i think you need to get him help. If its a boyfriend-i say leave n never look back, but if its your husband - i'd ay you married him for better or worst and u probably knew b4 getting married n did not accept it. So get him help that is needed in anyway you can. Try not to question him too much since you know he'll lie anyway.

No, people who lie can't be trusted.

It depends what kind of lies we are talking about.  I think white lies are necessary in most relationships.  If you feel they are more than white lies then no you shouldn't stay with him/her.

I think some people that do that actually start to believe themselves and start to think that that is how things actually happened.

I think liars have very low self-esteem.  If he lies about the small stuff, I would tend to ignore it.  If he lies about the big stuff, I would seriously consider staying in the relationship.

A half truth is a whole lie.....Jewish proverb

[davisdream1]

I would rather someone tell me the truth than to lie to me.  it may be hard at first and the truth sometimes is ugly but a lie will just make it worse later.

[vitaliymitityuk]

can't trust a lying person even if they do it for the best reasons. better to hear the truth.

[jessicaroselorr]

That would be a huge problem for me. If I could never tell whether the story he was telling me was real or not, I don't think that are relationship could be very stong at all. Its a big trust problem in my opinion

[willow80834]

it would make me wonder what else is he hiding or trying to cover up or what is he capable of hiding or covering up I personally couldnt do it

[syncflame]

wow thats hard i guess it depend on what you value and that should white lies slide or if your marriage is base on trust or lies and doomed for failure

Does he only lie to you or to practically everyone? Have you ever confronted him about it? Do you think he is lying to cover up or because he is a habitual liar? Once you answer these questions perhaps you will have the answer to your question. If he is a habitual liar would he consider counseling?
