Piglet, you are doing so well. I love reading your posts. I think you have sort of a gift for focusing on what you need to do. Nobody knows better than I how hard it is to actually make your actions match your intentions all the time. There are deep running instincts and fears that try to sabotage the good work we believe we need to do. But to keep coming back to the focus and evaluating everything calmly, and especially to be able to fall off the horse and jump back on without being overly self-critical, seems like the biggest key to this whole deal. You've really got that right now and it's inspirational to see.

As for the lying, I think dealing with one lie is bad enough. You don't need to expand it to being two whole weeks worth of lies. But I don't think your issue is really with the lies on an individual basis; you want the pattern of lying to stop. That's completely understandable. I don't have any great advice for you there. You need to have a boundary that he understands and that you can calmly enforce.

Good luck, you're doing great!
