A Very Unhappy Birthday

So today its my Birthday and i'm sitting at my computer crying. I am so fed up atm. I have caught my husband lying to me and three occasions in the last month and now my parents have lied to me too.

My brother was with his fiance for 2 years they broke up but have been trying to patch things up. When they broke up i sent a text to her and said how sorry i was they had split up and i was always here if she wanted me. My Dad went mad and accussed me of getting involved. I have the text on my phone and i have checked the words and they are exactly as i have written them on this page. My brother wasn't bothered so i let it go. Fast forward to last week and i popped round to my parents after my hoiday to say hello and asked where my brother was ' Oh we don't keep tabs on him we don't know' Well they did know and told me a barefaced lie because he was on holiiday with his girlfriend.

Now my husband he has been caught red handed lying to me in the last three weeks. First lie - I asked him to ring our friend who was coming to stay with us (well his old friend) and check what time his train was in so i could make my arrangements around picking him up from the station. So i was helping him. Anyway he kept saying he couldn't get hold of him and when he did the line was so bad he couldn't make it out, and he was going to see his mother in the evening so he couldn't phone him that evening. I looked at his phone as i smelt a rat (I would like to point out i never look at his phone, ever) anyway youv'e guessed it there was no phone call made.
Lie number two - my daughter boyfriend was going on excercise with the raf. Whilst we was on holiday so she was on her own for a week. She is 22 so it wasn't a problem well he told me he was in england and named the base. Well he came back with a langyard from Belgium for the recent memorials. So why lie , by this tage i was getting exasperated.

Third lie - He said that my youngest son had said something and it was just bought up in the conversation yesterday. After the chat with lots of friends and family, my son came and found me and said he had never said what my husband had told me. I double checked and said that i wanted to check the details. Sure enough my husband had lied again.
Today is my birthday and i really dont feel like celebrating it. I feel so let down at the moment and im not sure what to do. How can you start to belive a liar.

Are you actually being serious?
It's not like he said he was going to see a friend and went to a brothel.
So fist lie was he didn't make a phone call. Maybe his friend is likely to be late and will call him closer to the day.
Lie 2 your 22 year old daughters bf was out of the country. Maybe this was a last minute change made while you were on holiday. But it's not your business where he is anyway as your daughter is a grown woman.
Lie 3 is he said your son said something he didn't say. Could have just been embellishing a story.
If that's all you have to complain about I'd say you're doing pretty well

My exh used to lie about all sorts of stupid things - you know they are lying yet they twist it so you feel like a nutter for doubting them when you should trust your instincts. My exh lied about money and made out I was being stupid for being suspicious. . He had bled us dry for a year making me ill with money worried and borrowing to pay bills. The small lies are usually a sign of a big fat whopper down the line. .
To mners with normal relationships your post is odd. To me it's not op. .

Mrscropley, thank you for being understanding. Unfortunately imposed this twice as I wasn't sure how to put this thread up.
Well I just don't like people lying to me it makes me feels like a fool. I couldn't care less where my daughter boyfriend was on excercise just don't like being lied too. It makes no difference to me at all. Secondly he is not one to embellish any stories so I really don't understand why he would. Thirdly it just makes you feel like s**t when the person you are married to can't even tell you the truth. It just makes no sense whatsoever.
