Thanks, washbe2, those are really some helpful words.
It's hard for me to think that he is still lying, lying even about how much he is using. Lying about being ready to quit.
I see that he could be, & probably is. He is so good at lying to me, though. He seems so incredibly honest.
I remember times where I would accuse him of something and we would get into this long argument & I would end up feeling guilty and apologizing to him. And a few days later, I would find out I was right.
He is so good at lying, and I know that, and it depresses me when I think about it.
