How do you trust someone who lies to you? My husband, has been lying to me about  a relationship, supposedly platonic, he has been having with a female since Aug. Now he claims that he doesn't speak to her and that he is not lying anymore. Now he expects me to just not be upset and move on. But it is really hard. Some days for me  are good, others are bad. It seems like every other day I start to think about the lies he told , I get upset, and confront him.  So every other day, we argue because I mention the lies he has told, or I ask him if he has spoken to her or seen her. But It is just really hard to trust again Especially when he on so many occasions looked me in the eye and lied to me without blinking. Imagine you know that someone has been lying to you and when you confront them they call you crazy.Then you find out later that they really were lying. I just feel as if I have no more forgiveness to give- the well is dry. I gave him so many opportunities to tell me the truth.

It is just so stressful and heart breaking. I don't know if things will ever be the same.

I agree Mami. I have not  asked him to go. I am still angry with him. I  still don't trust him. Every time  I start to trust him, I think that he could be lying to me.

Well if he wants to work it out with you he will do whatever it takes. That's how you know if someone is serious or not.

I would, but I don't know about him.

Would you both consider going to counseling?

Thanks,
I am just so sad- especially when the afternoon comes, I know I have to come home.  I just feel like such a stranger now. I just cry every night. It is really difficult.

He thinks the mean justifies the end. So hurting me is ok.

He doesn't understand. probably doesn't care.

I would have reacted the very same way. You are not at fault and let him know that you are on to his every move. You don't have to prove anything to him, let him prove that he has "earned" your trust.
