A couple of months ago my husband lied to me,
it wasn’t the lie itself that bothered me but that I always trusted his word.
At work they work in pairs and have a permanent partner who he always told me was an old man, but apparently it’s not an man as I discovered it is actually a young woman, when I asked why the lie he still lied and said he had never seen that woman before saying she only worked in the office but I know this woman is his partner because I’ve seen them out working.
Eventually he did accept that this woman was “John” and that he had lied.
I kind of get why he lied but there was no need to and to have lied for so long and fabricated a whole other person just because he didn’t want to say the truth.
I now wonder what else he lies about and why, he’s openly been paired with lots of woman at work but has never concealed their identity so why would he keep this one such a secret?
In the months since this lie I am not sure what’s true and what’s not anymore where before I believed everything he said.
His reasoning for the lie is that he hates this woman because she’s a brown nose goody two shoes and he just couldn’t bring himself to say her name. So went with John.
