You know, he doesn't do it every single day....but quite a bit. Not that it would be alright, but if he was in trouble and trying to get out of it that's one thing (very childish though), but it's stretching the truth.

For instance, the other day someone said something to my husband about him and Ricky being the same size (Ricky is taller) and my husband told them that Ricky gets in his closet all the time. Ricky has NEVER gotten into his closet for any clothes. For one thing, Ricky has more clothes and his are more his age appropriate.

It's little lies like that that drive me crazy. I don't lie and find it very hard to listen to someone who does. I have a nephew that is a couple years younger than I. I love him so much but can only stand to be around him for a short time. Everything that comes out of his mouth, you can tell he's exaggerating or lying about.

I just can't believe my own husband does that now...I don't think he use to, or at least if he did it didn't bother me as much. Who knows...lol

Now that I think about it my daughter-in-law is like that but I didn't think about it when I typed it out. She has a tendancy to stretch the truth. It makes her mad to think that we don't believe everything she says but we never know exactly what to believe. It really makes the girls mad when she does it towards my son. You know.....he never.....he always......you can tell when she does it because my son will be in the background shaking his head like he doesn't know what to do about it. She doesn't put my son down as much as she used to because I had a talk with my son and told him that I didn't appreciate her running him down and if he didn't talk to her about it I would. He must have said something to her because she doesn't do it as much now.

My Dad was a habitual liar and it turned into him believing his own lies. It was very fustrating dealing with him. He was quite a character. Of course, his mental illness was part of it but the doctor told us that this was his personality.

Oh, so sad that you are dealing this these issues. People just don't seem to realize that they are only hurting themselves by this behavior. So sad. Wish there was a way to help!!

Marilyn,

I was away over Christmas so I just came across this. Happy Anniversary!
You are a lovely looking couple, and your advice is really good.

My parents were married 36 years (unfortunately, my Mom died young), but they had that kind of partnership.

Many, many more good years together!
