Need advice! Please help

My husband and I have been married for almost a year now. I'm expecting our first child in March '15. We get along find, and love each other very much but there's just one huge problem. He won't stop lying and hiding things from me. I have caught him in several of the stupidest small of lies, and a couple bigger ones, since we got married. The worst thing is that he lies with an honest face while looking me in the eyes.. I know that he would never cheat on me, but still, this seems to be just as bad as a situation. I honestly don't trust his word anymore, or really anything he says. I have made the mistake of dating pathological liars in the past, so I have NO tolerance for lying now.I have no idea what to do. I'm thinking off separating at this point. Has anyone gone threw this??

This comment is coming from your husband's point of view. I use to lie to husband all the time about really small stupid things and it was always because of a certain situation that I was lyiing about would remind of my childhood and I would want to avoid that entire thing so I would lie. Now I am on meds for this abd it has been a really long time since I have lied to him so before doing a separation ask him to talk to someone and see where to go from there. I look back now and think how embarrassing it was to lie about what I was lying about.

Thanks everyone. I've already talked to him about it months ago, so he knows where I stand on the matter. That's why I'm thinking about separating

I'm also recently married and we're expecting our first child also so congrats on that, and my husband lies all the time and we may fuss about it and I express how I feel about the situation, and sometimes I can tell it's not on purpose but other times I'm like really. But I came to terms with it because I somewhere dwn the line he feels he need to lie rather its to spare your feelings or protect himself but I wouldn't suggest to separate just when it happens talk about it and maybe give each other some space to cool off

Have you sat down and discussed this with him and how serious you are about it, like on the verge of leaving him because of it serious?

Normally if some one is a compulsive liar it is for a reason  
Insecurity, abuse growing up, drugs, etc.
If it is turning out to be really bad i suggest counseling to get to the root of the problem and find our what's causing it.
Its a serious issue but needs to be treated like a disorder not as a way of him hurting you
