My Husband Can't Stop Lying!.

(Mississippi, USA)

I am a wife and a mother to five beautiful children. I've been married for seven years and the last five years have been real shaky to the point I wanted a divorce.

I've been cheated on by my husband and stayed to work it out. Although I stayed I still have thoughts about the past. He is a wonderful father and he is a good husband but he has very bad habits. I know people wonder how can he be a good husband with bad habits.

He is the first one to wake up in the morning and the last to go to bed because he so busy making sure the kids get to practice, helping with homework, and getting clothes ready for the next morning. But the bad habit my husband has is lying. When he lies he get so defensive or he will make up an excuse of why he lies.

It has gotten to the point where it's hard to believe anything he says. No one will really confront my husband about his lies, but me. Even the stories he tells to his friends or family is not always the truth, he says he's just making the story interesting.! The hurtful thing is he always say he hates being lied to.

It's starting to have an affect on our marriage. It has caused me to stop loving him or showing him affection the way he needs it. We both attend church as a family every time the doors are open. We have roles in the church. I too have lied. And I know I need to work on me.

It's causing problems in marriage along with other things such as social media, phones, pass codes. I even try to pray but just can't. Every thing I tell him he gets upset like I'm jumping on him. Please help. I'm confused, ready to give up
