Ah your thought for today is interesting. Soon after BD one of the things my H said to me was that the lying was the worst thing that had ever 'happened to him' and it was such a relief to tell me (BD.)
If I'd had more wherewithal at the time, I'd have called him out that lying doesn't happen to you - you choose to lie.
Sounds like you are keeping busy with stuff Painter - and probably no bad thing as you say.....good luck with everything x
