Yeah the lies. I think the best advice that worked for me was to stop even expecting the truth. Sad to say it's just part of their alcoholism. The lying is about him not you no matter how you express to him that it makes you feel. The very last time I comforted my AH about a bold faced lie it was met with total silence, he had no answer or even feigned remorse at all. The lies are all about protecting the alcohol, there is no rational thought as to how it affects anyone around them, and if there is, it's brief and often used as yet another excuse to drink more. Big hugs to you giliji, I know that kind of pain and I so hope you can come to terms with it and not let it eat at you while to continue working on your own healing.
