Why do I continue to stay with my husband who continues to lie to me.

"When I find out and confront him then he tells me."
Then he's not completely in denial - a lot of chronic liars will VERY successfully convince themselves that their lie really is the truth.
My assessment is that he knows he is lying to you and does it deliberately. How often does he lie? About what? Does he like about both big things and small? Is he also unfaithful in any way?

Welcome to the board innie27,


Is he doing it to avoid your reaction, avoid sharing himself, being passive-aggressive - he gets something out of it, it serves him in some way.


Can you live this way the rest of your life?

You cant have any kind of a relationship with someone who compulsively lies because your relationship is not based on anything real.
