Hi all. Posting on here as I'm not sure what to do. I've been with my DH for 8 years, 3 years married. We've been through so much together and are a strong couple, I love him a lot.
The issue is, sometimes he tells me things he thinks I want to hear rather than the truth. Today, I caught him out in a lie that he had promised wasn't true ages ago when I asked about it (it was something I disapproved of) and when I asked why he lied about it, he said he worries I would leave him if I found out, even though the actual issue was frustrating but definitely not something worth divorcing over.
My husband is a people pleaser who was bullied throughout adolescence. All throughout our relationship his priority was always making me comfortable and supporting me through a myriad of issues. He is a wonderful dad to our 1 year old.
I would accept him no matter who he is. I don't know how to make him TRULY feel like that though.
