To think people who don't tell lies don't exist?

[Flojobunny]

Pissed off, angry and sad.
Maybe I have unrealistic expectations from a relationship to think that you shouldn't tell lies, no matter what.
DP "everyone tells lies, its normal". He looks me in the eye when I ask him outright and lies. Sometimes silly stuff, others not so silly.
I have tendencies to blow me stack often so he lies to save himself the ear ache. Can I lie with a liar? Does everyone? Or have I screwed up big time again by trusting the wrong person?

I don't know - in response to the OP.

I agree that there are ways of softening the truth in social situations. I've pretended to have work obligations when I haven't wanted to go somewhere.

Essentially though, I am truthful. My DH and DS are both truthful to a fault. DD tells lies though.

What you are talking about OP, is fundamental dishonesty. This isn't about telling someone you are working late therefore cannot make their do. You are talking about root and branch dishonesty.

So I think you have picked a wrong un. You can choose to live with your mistake or you can choose to leave him.
