To confront boyfriend about lying?

[possiblyoverreacting]

Been with my partner for a year and we’ve just bought our first house together. When we met, the topic of driving came up and he said he did drive but didn’t have a car. I drive and he lived in a city so it was never an issue. We’ve now moved somewhere more rural and I mentioned that he should really just use my car for work as I WFH and don’t need it during the week now. He was always a bit stand offish about the topic and insisted he enjoys getting the bus. I questioned a few times if the reality is actually that he doesn’t have a license after all, but he reassured me he did. I said it wouldn’t be a big deal if he didn’t, but the lying to me would.

I’ve just been to look for his bank card to update one of our direct debits, and found his provisional license in his wallet… I don’t want him to think I was snooping, I wasn’t as I’d actually forgotten about the driving license thing since the last conversation we’d had was when he’d assured me he wasn’t lying. Now I’m annoyed! Should I confront him or just forget about it?!

@CurlewKate he may not of she may not of told him, I really don't know why some people on here have nothing better to do than be nasty and negative.

Glad its all sorted.
Having seen some of the attitudes about non drivers on Mumsnet and even on this thread ("Do not have children with a non driver, when there is no medical reason.") - i suspect he was a bit embarrassed and hence lied ( i don't recall ever been asked if i could drive early on in dating- so was it a gating question?)
but he was stupid to carry it on- hopefully no other secrets

A house purchase is a bloody massive commitment and he’s entered into it, with a house in a rural area, without disclosing he can’t actually drive which is huge! I’d be spitting chips. But how did you get this far into things without questioning him more or, you know, wondering why you’d never seen him drive??!! I just don’t get it.
What’s his solution? Is there a bus route to work? Is he planning to learn? What about all the tasks and legwork that are now going to fall to you?

Glad you had a conversation about it and it’s all sorted.
I don’t know why people bash non drivers so much, I can drive but hate it, especially as where we live has become so congested etc it’s impossible to move around especially at peak times.
Quite a few of my friends don’t drive and never have, they get themselves to work, holidays, kids to school etc just fine and are probably less stressed.
Him being a non driver isn’t really an issue if he isn’t asking you to transport him around and it’s a shame that he felt he had to lie about it to feel that it would make him more appealing initially.

I’m sorry, I couldn’t get past the bit where you bought a house with someone you’ve only known for a year! I’ve had longer relationships with my dustbin men! That alone is worrying, without delving into why he lied..

Everybody lies about things , some people just tell lies about more serious things than others.

People are actively encouraged on this forum to lie to people in order not to offend them for example

Yes but it's a red flag when people lie for no reason.
