Lie detector

Would you take a lie detector for your partner to prove your telling the truth

Absolutely not. And I wouldn't be with someone so controlling that they'd even ask. That's deeply deeply disturbing

narns · 23/10/2024 12:38

If they were 100% accurate I would. I wouldn't though because they aren't. I'd be worried that it would come back that I was lying when I wasn't, and make the situation ten times worse!

No girl! He either accepts you with your past history (which is what has made you the woman you are today) or dump fast and hard.
Do not apologies or explain.
Grilling you about past events is abusive.

@GildedRage - love your post AND your username!

They're not reliable.

Anyone wanting their partner to do one is likely to be controlling and crazy.

What stuff about your past?

I gave a feeling it's not bad enough to merit all this crazy shit and extreme reactions. He sounds a bit mental.

And ebertrine I try to reach out he dont want to talk and just got angry and said really horrible things and I think I know your hurting but that doesn't justify how ur speaking to me does it and his response was dont blame me for things I've said or me being angry as you did this by lying about your past in the first place

Hopefully you didn't live together so much easier for you to not let him into your house again.

What did you lie about?

Anyway now that he knows, he either accepts your past or he doesn't. No lie detectors, no berating, no slagging you off etc etc.

I'm sure he has a past of his own.

Stop reaching out and chasing this abusive twat.
Hes shown you time and time again that he’s not worth wasting any more headspace on.

Walk away and don’t look back.

Be glad he’s walked away. He sounds abusive and you need to move on

Why does he have any need to know who you were with before you were in a relationship with him? Much less intimate details of things you did before you were together. That’s desperately unhealthy and you need to walk away and stay away.

Iloveglitterballs · 24/10/2024 07:32

OP, it's pointless starting threads if you're not going to listen to what everyone is saying. This man is not worthy of you. He's controlling. Instead of spending money on a lie detector, spend it on getting yourself some therapy. You need to value yourself more and stop entertaining this loser. It's not going to work with him.

BabyCloud · 24/10/2024 07:33

No. I find it a ridiculous thing to do. Just end the relationship if it gets to the point of doing one.

unsync · 24/10/2024 07:36

He's done you a favour. He's shown you how horrible he is early on. Don't waste any more time/life on him.

Next time be honest with a potential partner. You are not obliged to share details with someone. Just tell them you are not comfortable sharing that kind of information, it has no relevance. Unless you are a serial killer, why does anyone need to know your back story? If they want to know how many partners you have had, the correct response is "none of your business".
