Thank you both for responding.
So it could be accurate that someone in relationship with a person who suffers DID could be quite confused by responses/behaviors and even feel like they were being lied to. This is and has been so difficult, but it seems to explain a history of relationship that often times has me confused. Of course, I don't know that DID is what I'm dealing with, but he certainly "seems" to display a lot of what I'm learning. I'm worn out from thinking about it.

He's not lying. Not consciously choosing to speak untrue. It's just that his reality is fluid.
