Hmmmmm...does the lying stop? I seriously doubt it. I think they believe their lies and rely on them to validate their actions. And my X (the one who got married to OW 14 days after the divorce and will still swear they were just friends) actully said to me a few weeks ago he NEVER lies. I literally laughed out loud.
