My husband has lied to me alot too.  It's hard to trust after your lied to so much especially when you get told, "it'll never happen again".  I don't really have advice because I'm looking for advice myself for the same thing kind of, but I'm here if you need to talk.  I hope everything works out for you.

I don't know if we are talking about being a Christian here or not. Without  a true meaning of love and what lying is about, we can not really define what is and what needs to be done.

I am in a short term marriage where lying to me is very common. I am a Christian and try to never lie about situations or my feelings. I am very sure my wife is not a true Christian and therefore has no morals, to speak of and will do just about anything she feels is appropriate for the emotions she is feeling at the time.

Lying is a love killer. Trust is the most important thing between any two people but especially marrieds. I am now facing a divorce because she feels like it!

I just have to understand that liers are very good about telling you what they want you to believe until they change their story.

There are three kinds of liars.

One lies to protect him- herself. "If I lie I don't have to face consequences."

Another lies to protect someone else. "If I don't tell her we're broke, she won't be worrying about having no money."

The last is the habitual liar. They just lie.

Either way, lies are destructive. My friend Rick Reynolds says that even Jesus cannot help a liar.

You will never trust him until he overcomes his propensity to lie. Can you get him into therapy to find why he lies and to find a way to overcome that problem?

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  Hi

I used to be the second type of liar.  In finances I've hidden information from my wife because I wanted her to be happy and bubbly all the time.  She when she would ask if there was enough money to do __________  and ________,  I would say YES without a moments hesitation.  It made me look "In Control" when I had absolutely no idea how much money we had.

Then... when I looked at the bills and the account and if we had only $200 left... I'd tell her that we had $500 so that she would feel safe.  Meanwhile... I am tearing up my insides and trying to cover up the lies I told.

That was in the past...  thankfully..  today 100% honesty is the mantra in my household.  I keep my wife informed of our money situation at all times and she has all the usernames/passwords to all the accounts we have. 

Being humble and honest... has considerably lowered my stress levels.

Hope this helps...

Somewhere between what you want and what you settle for... is what you get.

Time to raise the bar on BOTH sides!
