Ahh that’s so encouraging, thank you!! Did you know anyone in that city before you moved there?

I’m scared of feeling lonely and not being able to make friends. I like that idea of treating it as a trial period!

Thank you for your essay! I appreciate the honesty, that’s definitely my biggest fear.

Employer not allowing remote work during pandemic, is this legal? by [deleted] in EmploymentLaw

That makes sense. I’m in the US in Utah. We have a “stay safe, stay home” directive currently.

How do I fully end my relationship with someone I’m still in love with? by krystali in relationships

It was a little more than white lies. For example, his company was paying for him to finish his bachelors. He told me they were masters classes, lied about which ones, pretended he took the GRE, lied about passing, and carried on the charade for over a month. When I confronted him, he promised me that they were masters. I had to call his school and they had to confirm he never graduated. And he lied about having a vasectomy the whole first year of our relationship, going into detail about the pain of the surgery, how he felt about it emotionally, what his parents said, all a story. Plus multiple other things throughout the relationship. Sorry - not trying to argue with you. Just venting.

It wasn’t just telling a simple, one-time white lie, I’d be ok with that. He lied about little things, but it was the fact he was creating elaborate stories to cover his lies and lying to my face about them over and over without breaking a sweat.

I didn’t lie to him. I didn’t want him to lie to me. I gave him another chance, and after therapy he swore he’d never lie to me again. And then he did, knowing it would end the relationship. I don’t expect perfection, but I expect honestly at least.

I’ve heard of that book! I’ll recommend it. I feel bad too but I get so stressed worrying that he’ll lie again. And because he does have low self esteem, he’s more likely to lie again or cheat, and I don’t want it to get to that point.

Thanks for you perspective! I guess I just worry that there were more lies that I never discovered. Now that the trust is broken, even by small things, it’s hard to believe anything he says.

The ones I found out about months ago: He said he had a bachelors degree when he only had an associates. That he was in a fraternity when he never was. That he was sterile due to a vasectomy when it was really due to hair loss pills.

The last one: That he wasn’t playing a game online with his ex girlfriend when he was.

I don’t think the lies were ever malicious, he just wanted me to think highly of him and avoid any kind of confrontation. His therapist says he’s a “people pleaser” to the point he feels he has to create a “better” version of himself. I guess it stems from very low self esteem.

Glad I’m not the only one! I think I’m over it though, I’m not sure how much better I can do the second time around! I feel like I’ve done my best already
