I could go on and on as I have so many things i want to say / questions i want to ask! I am a former addict, and am currently with an addict -we have a 5 month old baby, and i can say with near certainty that if it was not for him we would not be together. My partner is currently in rehab -been there 1 week so far, and it's a 10 week programme. Since we met i knew he smoked wee, and i soon found out it was a daily ritual -1st thing in the morning til last thing at night. In the last month though I found out that so many, in fact most of what he has told me about himself is lies. He has always lied, particularly about weed once i became concerned about it and asked him to cut down. But i have found out that he has lied about some fairly significant things -he told me he has a daughter which I have worried so much about, and he doesn't. He has lied to others about having an older brother who had schizophrenia and who committed suicide, and how his family removed all evidence of him from the house. He lies about the mundane, he can lie to my face when I KNOW he is lying (e.g. about being stoned when i can smell it in the room, see crumbs on the drawers, when his eyes are so bloodshot he can hardly see and he cant even keep a straight face!). I guess I just want to know whether he is a compulsive lier who perhaps has a personality disorder, or whether this is 'just' addiction? I feel like i dont know the man i fell for anymore. I an just so confused as to why someone would construct such lies, continue such lies, and he manages to always somehow make everything my fault! Or gets angry irrationally if caught out,or a new trick, very quiet and calm -but yet so obviously lying! Advice? Help?

Hi. This is not just addiction I am sorry to say. I would be very surprised if he got sober and all of a sudden stopped lying. I am an addict to marijuana but not a liar or in denial about it. When you were an addict were you a compulsive liar?

That's great that he's in rehab. Hope all works out.
