In my early 20s, (20 years ago) I became entangled with my first girlfriend. It was awful, but I somehow believed that relationships were about “making it work” which I interpreted to mean coping with whatever abuse.
She was a compulsive liar. I’d never encountered anything like that before.
I remember thinking that her lies were my fault because I’d asked her about something that she didn’t want to tell the truth about. Wow, that was a trip.
have you ever just not asked someone because you already knew they were going to lie anyway?
Oh man. Kinda triggered by this.
