TF Said: So why do you suppose they DO lie about everything? I know my H is still lying or at least "fudging" the truth about stupid things too and I can't figure out the purpose. I can understand lies to cover an OP but the other stupid stuff? A control thing? A teenage mentality thing?
If any of you figure out the answer to this, please tell me. I have a suspicion it may have something to do with the depression aspect of it. Maybe. Because my H has D issues and I don't think MLC and he did not lie prior to this. I asked him for insight to the lying recently and he alluded to wanting to be able to control my opinions/views of him and his opinions/views of himself. It was very quick and confusing insight he offered, but I don't think it was a lie. BUt who knows? I think he is doing some things he doesn't understand or approve of and is judging hiimself and saying in his mind that I would judge him too. Maybe. It's like he is mindreading me to the extreme in my absence and then acting on his own assumption (and that assumption is himself, not me). Hope that made sense.
