Hi David,
My ex did not make it a practise to get me to lie with him. I guess our two mythomaniacs are different in that respect.

It's not really complicated, but admitting this to oneself that the partner is a pathological liar is very complicated, it means admitting to oneself that NOTHING of what s/he said is true - and people WANT TO believe lies!

I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out what he said was true and what was a lie. In retrospect it looks exhausting and tiresome. I think it is going a bit too far to say that I wanted to believe the lies, but of course as long as we have affection for someone we want to believe they have affection for us too, and that they are good, honorable people deep down.
If I had gotten out of this relationship sooner I would have been much less damaged by it.
