Why does he lie?

Question - (8 August 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 9 August 2010)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

My boyfriend lies to me about everything. From what time he got off of work to when he turned on his cell phone. It's driving me crazy. When I bring up an inconsistency that I noticed, he tells me that I'm blowing things out of proportion. I know he had a crappy relationship with his ex-wife, but I'm not her. I don't know how to handle this. Is he just alienating me from his life because he's a private person? A compulsive liar? Any reasons other than cheating?

Maybe he's just a compulsive liar, maybe he had a crappy marriage because he was doing the same thing and you know how there are three sides to every story.(His, Her, and the truth). If this is more than you can deal with then you should always do what is best for you. In any type of relationship there must be trust because this sets the foundation for growth, without trust there is nothing to build on. Remeber, at the end of the day the final decision is yours to make.

leaf_ lady agony auntHe obviously has something to hide. Id be going through his phone, pockets and computer. If he gets mad when you mention stuff, that's a common behavioural trait for any untruthful person. Its deflection. If you cant sit down and talk to him about it don't bother wasting your time with him. Life is too short and precious to devote time to people who don't treat you fairly. You could try and turn the tables but honestly, you said it yourself that he is a liar, Why waste your time?
