DH is weak and lies a lot. Sometimes small lies about what he's done that day, sometimes bigger lies about how he meant to ring so-and-so but forgot/he definitely put something in the post/he has made every effort to do X. Occasionally, it is something pretty big and ends up embarrassing us, or getting us into some sort of trouble. Frequently with financial implication.
When he's caught out it is even worse. He never owns it - someone/something/his depression/stress made him do it. And, I'm so scary, obviously he lied to me. See, it's my fault. (Or if I point out he was like this before we met, it's his parents fault.) It's horrible to watch. He wriggles like a weasel.
I like DH. He is fun to be around and generally great with our DC. We can get excited about stuff together and enjoy watching films or the tv. We cook together and like to stay in. We talk about how cute the DC are and funny stuff they do.
But I don't respect him. My family were pretty upright - honesty and behaving honourably were really important. My DH's word means nothing. He has no spine.
Most days he says he's going to do stuff of varying significance - often he doesn't do it. Doesn't matter if it really means something to me, or even if it is a little thing for the DC.
What happens next? How does this work out?
