Hi Daffodil - tis nice to see you back. It seems to me that you have a lot of insight into what you are feeling and why, so I'm not sure how you could be thought to be dellusional. Many of us have our insecurities come out in situations such as you describe, however, since it is not illness based, you do have control over how you react to the situation, right? It may require taking the leap of faith that many of us find so difficult to do, especially when we have trust issues, and have been deceived in the past.

Of course it was wrong of him to lie to you. That's not delusional at all. It seems to me that you have every right to get that straightened out with him. After you do that, though, it seems like it would be a good idea to look at the evidence of whether he has ever given you a reason to distrust him, and if not, then you can decide to try to have some faith in him, (I know it's difficult, really I do).

When you're feeling calm, maybe try to discuss some of this with him, but not in a blaming way. Tell him how important it is to you for him to be always truthful, and, on your end, make a commitment to try not to 'flip out', (as you put it), without getting some facts first.

Take care, and, again, it's good to hear from you. Fondly, Peanut
