 If he's that big a liar and is looking for "space", I'd recommend giving him a 100% helping of space by getting out of his life entirely. His unwillingness to share his past, plus his tendency to avoid the truth, does not bode well for a serious relationship. Such relationships are based on trust, and building trust with this guy is going to be difficult bordering on impossible.
Unless you can talk to him and get him to realize the impact his behavior is having on your prospective relationship, and get him to make an effort at change, I don't think there's enough there to build a future on. Get out before you invest enough that you'll really get hurt.

I think you should let him go because he can't take you serously then it's not worth it.
