How do deal with a lying husband?

Some people are pathological exaggerators. Any bit of information they can spice up with an exaggerated detail they will not think twice of spicing up. If it is truly that much of a problem, then sit him down and talk to him about his little white lies.

I'm not married and I'm far away of being it, but I'm dating my boyfriend for two and half years, and he was a compulsive liar before, so I understand what you are going through. He keeps telling small lies sometimes, but nothing huge like making up travels and stuff which he had never done. We were friends one year before we started dating, and I quickly realised this defect and I asked him why he was lying like that. I told him to trust me and not pretend to be someone he was not. Small lies are used to not make you worry about something in most of cases, and that's understandable but if it keeps bothering you, talk to him. You can expect nothing to be solved without communication. Tell him to trust you. I've always told my boyfriend to inform me if he gets attracted by someone before he cheats on me, although it's not likely he tells me, but at least, I prove him I appreciate his honesty, no matter how bad it might hurts. I hope I can help you

Hes not a very easy person to confront! Especially when he is the center of the confrontation! About 3 years ago I told him that I knew he had lied to me earlier that day, it ended in me getting slapped and the issue never being dealt with!

I had a Roommate who never stopped lying, he stole from me as well and generally showed symptoms of a sociopath. When confronted overreaction is usually good evidence of a cover up of larger proportions. And the fact that confronting him about a lie ended in you being slapped is not something to be overlooked. you husband should never lay an ill hand on you. (or visa versa for that matter)As far as dealing with it is concerned the only thing you can do is appeal to his interests and see if you can make him think it was his idea to stop lying, (if actually explaining to him why your upset fails/backfires) and even then, its still unlikely to work.

Thank you guys for the honesty!!
