Question - (8 November 2008) 4 Answers - (Newest, 8 November 2008)
A female United States age 51-59, *amsproperty writes:

HE LIES ABOUT EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING! He lies about his feelings, where he has been, how many drinks he's had, what he does on the computer, if he has a crush on a girl, if he macked chicks at a party, what he really wants, how he feels about me, himself, he lies about everything unless the truth is about to make him richer. Then, here's the clincher he strenuously CRUCIFIES me if he thinks he's caught me in a lie.

How do you work with a liar?

I know what the anonymous lady means - my ex had me thinking I was going insane too, losing my mind if you will. She'd tell me she'd asked me to do something 3 times earlier in the week - like cutting the grass for instance - and was sick of asking me, and I'm thinking "What? - that's the first I've heard of it!"

It was such a relief to realise that I was perfectly sane and she was the one with the problem.

I find it is usually men who have something to hide usually lie! - Either that or they are trying to make themselves feel important!

I keep in touch with a guy who says he likes me but only calls now & then (because he has a girlfriend) - he pretends they don't get on etc etc but then it will be a week before I hear from him again so I know that he is probably getting on great with his gf & thats why he doesn't ring!!

But why can't men just be straight with you??

He's crucifying you because he has a guilty conscience.

Just laugh at everything he says and be completely disbelieving.

him: "I only had 1 drink"

you: "So 5 then."

him: "no no I only had 1"

you: "yes dear." pat him on the head and walk off.

That has got to annoy him into telling the truth.

If you cant get him to change pretty smartish though then I really don't think this is the kid of relationship that you can think of as long term.

Good Luck!! xx

You take everything he says with a pinch of salt, I should think. I used to be married to someone similar, and my way of dealing with it, to try to make her see that I knew she was telling porkies, was to pick her up on it every time. She was prone to exaggerating more than lying but I think a lot of people do that if they're insecure.

Maybe he's also not quite telling the truth about wanting to watch you with another man or to have anal sex - as in your other question today?

I don't think you two are getting on too well are you?!!
