He has a good, extrovert personality, chats up and, and all girls/women. I do not think he lies because of ...

Hi all

I have known my partner for 10 years on and off although we have only just got into a relationship.

He was always known as a bit of a liar, everybody took everything he said with a pinch of salt.
