These were major lies: pretending to work at places that didn't exist, getting fired and not saying anything but pretending to go to work every day, stealing money from our bank account, borrowing money regularly from my dad and hiding it, said he had a military background when in reality he had never even tried to enlist, not showing up for work even when he promised me and his boss -- these are the types of lies that I'm talking about. I feel like such an idiot!!

Don't feel like an idiot!!
Some people are "compulsive liars" and are exceptionally good (or exceptionally bad in other circumstances) about hiding the real truth behind things... it doesn't mean that you weren't paying attention... it just means you didn't know!
I don't think men lie any more than women do... I just think they have different ways of communicating about some things and sometimes it seems like lying when it isn't.
However, the examples you've just provided are BIG LIES. Yikes.
