Sorry for your plight.
A relationship needs be begin with total 100% honesty ALL THE TIME. If it does, total trust and respect can follow which cements whatever love is or was there after the passion has slowed down.
Since there is compulsive lying in your marriage, not much I can say other than: get professional help or LEAVE.
RE: i have left a couple times and stayed gone for overnight but then i come back
.... Perhaps you need some counseling to discover why you come back to such a mess.
and he promises me that he will change and then in a matter of days its all back to the the same crap.
.... since you fall for it over and over, you may have to research: Codependency to see how to manage yours.
It's all back to the same crap because neither of you KNOW HOW to make a good, trusting, respectful relationship. Research "relationships" on line or in books to learn how to make a good one.
i love him to death but what am i supposed to do just give up and settle for what we have now or just leave
.... You may have to get honest with your self and realize that it's NOT LOVE. More like codependent NEED.
You don't 'settle' and you needn't 'leave'. There's other alternatives like: counseling, professional help, relationship training, THERAPY, religion, hypnosis, or whatever you can find that is not
surrendering or
running away.
good luck
