Do i have a problem？

[BigGreg2010]

I've been described as an excessively chronic pathological liar. It took me a long time to realize that i have a problem, in the processing of hurting lots of people. My marriage fell apart and i wont be able to see my son grow as much as i wanted to and i have left behind girls that are heart broken and resentful.It all started as a small lie, like i would tell a girl i met at the bar that i'm single so that i could have sex with her, while my wife was pregnant. I kept telling myself they were the one time off thing and would never happen again, but even suprising to myself it only got worse after that I knew those lies made me more attractive and got me more sex and that i believe was the main reason i kept doing it. There were small lies that i made up for my childhood, lies that i made up for my career and big ones like I'm a single man.Everytime a girl found out which they always did,i saw in their eyes the shock and the disgust like i just turned an horrible animal overnight. I'm not a bad person but i have weaved an incredible web of lies cause everytime a lie is out i had to make up more to back up that one,and all of sudden even before i knew it, i was addicted to it..I have fooled them and i have fooled even myself.Should i go see a psychiatrist? Anyone of you ever had the same problem?

Thanks,

Greg

sounds like you need to completely start over in a different city/state with no friends or any supports, and build a new life. without lies.  they can never be undone, and the hurt you have spread will always be a cancer that will come back and bite you if you stay where you are.  it is very sad, but deceit ruins lives - wish I had something positive to say, but there is no positive spin you can put on this :-(  Everyone is guilty of telling lies, but very few people will forgive a lier, since it is so difficult to trust them.  You are not alone though, there are so many people that are in this situation, it is truly sad.
