A netizen shared how he is always lying to his wife for everything, and it has gotten to a point where his marriage is strained.
Here is the story
“I lie to my wife. I didn’t lie about cheating on her, because I haven’t, or because i secretly hate her family, or because im a cross dresser (nothing wrong with that, just using it as an example). I lie to her when she asks me what is wrong and I tell her nothing. It starts off a something so stupid like doing the dishes or picking up something. Its so dumb, but I do it anyways.
In turn, I always assume she is lying to me. She has never given me reason to. She is not perfect, but in this area, I don’t have a single time that she has given me a reason to assume she is lying to me.
We had a huge blow up today. I yelled because i thought she was being snarkey to me when she was just trying to help. I blew up, we argued, we hurt each other but at the end of the day I was wrong and mean and awful and she was crying, and hurt, and upset.
I am pretty sure that this is her final straw and frankly there is no one to blame but myself. I have said i was going to be honest and talk to her in the past and she has given me time to prove myself to her, but I have not done so. I keep falling back into old habits. I tell myself that im doing the right thing, and keeping her from hearing my nasty thoughts all the time because ultimately my first reaction is anger and rage. Again I dont know why this is.
I just want to say, im not writing this for pity, nor to be right or wrong. I just wanted to say im sorry for everything. Im sorry you have been with me for 13 years now and I have been nothing but awful to you for a vast majority of that time.
I lie to my wife about stupid shit and am pretty sure I have driven her away.”
Editor’s note: I don’t know man, have you tried maybe NOT LYING?
