How much honesty should you reasonably be able to expect from your husband?
I found out that my husband lied to me about something, and even when I told him I didn’t believe him or hat he wasn’t telling me the whole story, he still held on to his story and didn’t tell me truth. At the time of the discussion, I didn’t have proof of him lying, just a gut feeling and some things not adding up. But then I did some snooping and saw the proof that confirmed my suspicions.
The lie he told me has nothing to do about cheating or doing anything illegal so it could be worse, but I am still upset that he is lying to me and that my trust in him has been damaged.
I used to have a very hard time trusting him because he lied to me multiple times about things in the past. I was even thinking about leaving him back then because it was so hard for me to trust anything he told me after the lies (to be clear, no physical cheating involved). But then we had long talks about and he promised to better himself and be honest with me. For about 2 years he didn’t give me a reason to doubt him and my trust slowly grew to where I felt comfortable with believing his word and not be so suspicious.
But then this lie happens and I’m just thinking about other things he might be lying about now.
The reason for his lie is to “not get in trouble” with me I’m sure. Like if I knew the truth he just doesn’t want me to give him a hard time about it or think less of him.
Well now knowing he lied to me I think way less of him than I would have if he just told me truth from the beginning..
