A couple months ago I discovered that my fiancee was hiding a relationship, with another woman, from me. When I confronted him with my knowledge, he denied the relationship existed. Then he stated she was a good friend, then he explained he had met her once or twice on business trips, then he said that she had initiated the emails and that he had been enjoying the attention. He lied a couple more times before he got everything else out. He swears that it was nothing more than an ego boost to get the emails. We ended up in counselling. It seems he was physically abused as a child and used to lie to avoid getting hit by his father. He is 50 years old. He has gone to counselling before for these problems. I have given him the benefit of the doubt and some time to work through the breach of trust but I can't seem to shake the distrust I feel. I thought I could work through this but I don't think I can get past the fact that this man has spent a lifetime lieing. I know he won't stop and I suspect he has lied about a few other things since - can't be sure whether he has or I am just overly suspicious. Has anyone ever successfully worked through something like this before or should I just end the relationship? <font color="blue"> </font> <font color="black"> </font> <font color="blue"> </font>
