    It’s not the infidelity that destroys your marriage; it’s the lying. The deceit. The omissions. The secrecy. The lack of transparency. “You cannot be fully loved if you’re not fully known.” Hiding your real self from your partner is lying.

      Been married 35 years. My f n l & m n l ran a sodmite of sex traffing of their children and family members over 55 years ago . They even got me and my 2 children. Now I understand why all the issues with my husband. No wait that not true! And never protected us. Now he is back sliding and I'm moving forward to get out 1st born free of his adulthood sex traffing and my grandchildren free. All the while my husband says I should let him live his life ...while the grandchildren that I helped raise is tortured with burns on his arm and hand, who had PTS at 3 years old. She wanted to abort him. This is still the same spiit. They have Stockholm syndrome. How do you deal with this trust issue without out Jesus and the LOVE OF ABBA FATHER lead by Holy Spirit ❣

    Don't let someone tell you you're to blame ladies. You're not. "You don’t create a safe environment for the truth to be told" or "You didn't receive it well" or "you're hard to talk to about this kind of thing. or "Its embarrassing to talk to you about this" Its all shifting blame on the innocent betrayed and lied to spouse. As Dr Weiss says, you protect what you love. Admitting and getting help for your problem, with the 1 person you should trust as much as yourself is the start.

    I had a partner who was a compulsive liar and it made me think I was going crazy. I got to the point where I was literally confused about everything. For this and other reasons I ended up with an eating disorder. Even though went to massive lengths and I hid all of that from everyone, I was convinced there was nothing wrong with me and everything I was doing was perfectly fine. Just goes to show how mental illness messes with your ability to understand whats actually real and true.

When my husband and I try to discuss things, I feel like I’m being interrogating. He never lets me finish anything that I’m saying. He cuts me off and just starts in with what he thinks is right.

    He made me think I was marrying someone very different from my stepfather. As a teen, my stepfather broke everyone's trust and crushed me. My husband witnessed this. He's the one I called in tears when it happened. He made me think he would be there for me. He's now one of the worst liars/manipulators I know. I think my breaking point was two years ago when he lied to me to prevent me and our other kids from visiting our baby son's grave on our son's birthday. He maintained this lie for two months. I found out he was lying by accident and I verified it two different ways. What kind of man prevents a bereaved mother, his *own wife* from her one annual visit to their child's grave? A man who can't be trusted and never could. Despicable.

The feelings of hurt and confusion are valid, and it's important to acknowledge them as part of your healing process. You are not a fault in any way for what he has been doing. Those are his choices.

    I would genuinely like to see you and others make videos about why women lie in relationships because my wife is a pathological liar. I could substitute by watching your videos about men lying but there are subtle gender differences. More importantly, having videos made with a title such as "what to do if your wife is a compulsive liar" makes it a real issue for us men such as myself, struggling with a lying, untrustworthy wife. Plus, many men such as myself do NOT come forward for help when treated poorly by their wives because of the societal stigma that we men should "suck it up like a real man". Yeah...I did this for 24 years and will not get these years back bc of my ego and bc society today doesn't want to hear about men in abusive relationships bc we men today are shamed for inherent qualities that were valued not too long ago. Yes...lying pathologically to your spouse is abuse regardless of your sex. If enough information thru social media is put out there that this isnt a one sided gender issue, but rather it's much worse. Its a recent decrease in societal values and norms, a widespread breakdown of peoples moral compasses, and an attack on everything that's good including our savior, lord Jesus Christ. Be well...

Over a third of my life wasted with a man who obviously thinks Im worthless. Its heartbreaking! But I am sure there are cases like yours that the wife is the destructive and lying force. I am so sorry for anyone going through this humiliation and pain, rather it is man or woman. Everyone deserves honesty, respect, and kindness in this life. Someday Jesus will make all things right. We need to pray and look for a better future without the lies, deceit, and agony they bring to our lives.
