God, I hate being paranoid. It is one of the worst feelings in the entire world. I know a very few times, early in our relationship, my then boyfriend (now husband) lied about absolutely stupid things and his sweet dumb *** didn't do a good job of covering his lies. Regardless of the innocence of the lie, it hurt me terribly and really, really made me question what I could trust and what else he may lie about. Thankfully for us, we have worked this out. To be honest, there are some things I cannot handle dealing with-like the bills-so he takes care of this completely. I have a general idea of how much money is available for me to spend on groceries or whatever and I just sort of check with him to make sure the money's there when I need to spend it. I know this may sound very childish, but money issues are extremely hard for me and I end up avoiding everything. I got to where I wasn't paying bills even though I had plenty of money to do so out of some weird sort of hoarding behavior. Anyway, I digress. So, now my husband doesn't lie (I freaking hope! now I am starting to think about it and it makes me wonder...) and I don't handle the bills anymore.
Ok, back to you, sorry that I did that little tangent there. I don't do lies. I am not good at them, I end up making an *** out of myself. Etc. there has been a time in my life when out of a desire to have some secrecy I did lie about things, nothing that effected other people, but things maybe I was doing and people would ask me about (wow, that is really hard for me to admit). But in general I don't lie. Lying about whether he takes the dog out and considering that he apparently habitually lies about that would drive me straight up the wall. I can tell you right now I would probably have a break down if that happened. I know that even though it seems like a simple lie, I'm just like you and I would want to know what else does he lie about because its easier? Oh woman, I really hate that your H is doing all of this to you right now. I know this response may have been more triggery than helpful, but I am just telling you what I honestly feel about this all. I am so freaking sorry he's acting like this right now.

For one thing, though, if I were you, I would start making sure the dog went out before I went to bed. If he cannot be trusted to do it, its not fair to the dog to have to wait that long! Ug! Well, maybe the dog could pee on his shoes or something first?!
