will it get better?

Im afraid my boyfriend is an compulsive liar. Sometimes I feel like hes lying all the time. I think he literally cant tell the truth. If i confront him, with hard core evidence he still denies things. Either that or he'll come up with some very lame excuse. I want to help him, but he doesnt think he has a problem. In the past I thought his lying would come and go, but the longer I am with him I realize that hes so good at lying I only catch him from time to time.

I love him. I want to marry this guy and we are having a child together this fall. Im terrified that Im never going to be SURE that what hes saying is true. I fear I will always hold some shred of doubt in my mind. Im just wondering if this is something I have to accept about him. That in order for us to be together I need to realise that no matter how much he cares for me and wants us to be together, hes always going to lie to me.

any advice is helpful since my friends are sick of hearing how hes lied again. I dont have anyone I can talk to about it who wont just judge me for staying with him.

Hey lynzee82, this must be so tough! It very sad to see he can't trust you enough with the simple truth. Trust is so important to have in a relationship or it, sadly, is doomed before the start, unless it hasn't had time to build yet. Nevertheless, he shouldn't say anything if he can't stop lying. At least, this would respect YOU. I think you need to focus on what you need to do for you and your child because he/she has no choice but to trust you.

I know you're right. I still have hope for us, but I am putting our child first. I tell him all the time that I will put up with a lot, but lying isnt one of them. Atleast I will be able to teach our child to be honest.

Hi, lynnzee82! Welcome to the forum. It's great to hear that you're putting your child first. Your boy friend may have a problem, but he's the one who has to want to get better. You can tell him that you will be there for him if he tries to get treatment or realise why he's doing this, but you can't controll his actions.
You can talk here as much as you want and we'll be here to listen.
