My partner is a compulsive liar and even after being caught out he will continue to lie. The lies range from small to large. Smaller examples are things like claiming he as been a character in a TV show or a male model. Serious lies include pretending that family members have died to get out of going to work. He has even made a number of false insurance claims. He lies every day, sometimes it is for his own gain but usually it's for no particular reason other than to make himself sound smarter or cooler. His lies are extreme. He missed 6 months of work by making up a different lie every week. They eventually fired him and he tired to sue them for unfair dismissal!! He is not a violent person but I find his lying scarey as he obviously has no remorse for his actions. I'm not sure if its a dangerous trait or not? Can he stop lying with the right kind of help?
I've been in the relationship for a few years and I'm really unhappy. When my partner and I met I was in a really bad place. Having left a violent relationship and also just been diagnosed with PTSD. I didn't tell him any of this. We were really just dating at first. I quickly realised that I didn't want a relationship with him but i'm not very good at communicating or expressing feelings and before I knew it he was moving into my house. We had only been seeing each other for a couple of months at this stage.
One of the things I told him very clearly from the beginning was that I could never have anymore children. I felt that this was crucial for my mental and physical well being. It was also about safety as I was still in danger from my previous partner. I didnt explain these reasons to him but I made it clear that having children was never going to be an option with me. He was very adamant that he wanted children. It wasn't fair for either of us to compromise on this so I broke it off. It was not the only reason I broke up with him, part of it was that I didn't feel attracted to him and I was not ready for any kind of change in my life especially a serious relationship.
That would have been a nice and tidy ending except just after I broke up with him I discovered I was pregnant. It was a huge shock and emotionally I just fell apart for a while. We had always used contraception, that was the one thing I demanded. Considering I've never demanded anything else in my life it was a big deal. He would often try to convince me not to use protection but I always stood my ground. I know that condoms don't offer 100% protection all the time but at the faulty party was him not the condom. Later I found out that he had 5 other pregnancies with 2 different ladies which had all apparently been "accidents".
What I'm saying is that I believe he got me pregnant on purpose. This makes me feel so badly betrayed and used. I feel like he just saw me as a human carrier for his baby, that he didn't care about the consequences for me and my other children. I feel trapped into something that I didn't ask for and I feel exhausted. I had just climbed alone, in the dark, out of the pit of misery that was my life and had worked so hard to improve our circumstance and it was really hard. I wasn't stable enough for any major life changes. Despite all this I am madly in love our child and do not regret the child at all, only the circumstances. My partner is a really great Dad.
How can I discuss how I feel about this with him, without him lying about it. Will I ever know the truth?
