Backstory:

I have been with my woman in a committed relationship for just over two years now. I work fulltime and she works partime and does school part time and we do not live with each other. We see each other at least every other day.

Problem:

She is a pathological liar. This shit drives me fucking bananas. She will lie about the most stupid shit ever, like I would text her asking her what she's up to and she would be like "I'm driving home" but in reality she really is home. I chose that example because I was on my way over and she knew that, and I texted her saying I am pulling up I'm a few lights away, and she's like "oh I'm still on the road, be there soon" and when I got there (literally 30 seconds later) she was there.

Another time she brought me some food that I thought was very delicious, and I asked her where she got it from and she told me she made it. The first suspicion I had was that it came in like a grocery store deli type packaging and for about a week I kept asking her to bring me more and she would bring it and it would come in the same packaging. A few months later I go grocery shopping and, behold, I see it in the fucking deli section.

Another time I asked about what classes she was taking and she tells me X,Y,Z but when I see her books they are for classes A,B,C totally unrelated but equally difficult courses.

I just don't fucking understand why she does this, and I am losing my mind over it. Why does she choose to lie about the stupidest fucking shit? I have more examples but she knows about gaf but doesn't know my username so I don't want to be too specific in my details in case she is lurking.

also, please get the "she found new dick" stuff out of the way as quickly as possible so I can get some real advice.

Thank you.

Confront her about it? In a kind manner of course.

I actually did a couple weeks ago, and she got really defensive and tried to shift the blame on me. Things are cooled off now, but I have that issue nagging me in the back of my mind you know?
 
I'm usually pretty hesitant to say this, but maybe you should move on? Being in a relationship where the other person lies all the time isn't healthy. If you don't want to move on and make things better perhaps you should try to get her some therapy. You'll have to approach that very very carefully though.
 
How the fuck do you tolerate someone like that for 2 years? Obviously confront her if it's that ridiculous. It's honestly too long to just dump her now since I assume you've grown affixed to her.

How often do you actually call her out on her lies? seems like you know she's bullshitting you but you don't want to cause tension by telling her not to.

Maybe the sex is good.

I let ALOT of shit slide to be honest because I know if I call her out on it she will go berserk
 
Doesn't sound like the most stable person to me.

Why do you put up with it? strong bond or something?
I don't think I could deal with someone who did that.

She is right. You deserve most of the blame.

Also, yes. I do have very strong emotions for her (other than sexual). I do believe her when she says she loves me and I honestly do mean it when I say I love her. We have discussed being together for the long run and have even made sort of fantasy plans (what our house will look like etc).

I just feel too attached to bail

You shouldn't be afraid of her going berserk. She shouldn't be afraid of you and you shouldn't be afraid of her, there should be a balance of emotional power. One of 3 things can only come out of this:

1.You'll just learn to live with it, hoping she doesn't tell any major lies that could actually end your relationship

2.Confront her, get her to admit her problem and then try to work it out with her.

3.Bail out after being frustrated with the sheer number of her lies.
 
I had a long friendship with a pathological liar as a kid. It can be annoying, but it's just a quirk. Put up with it or not.
 
She's desensitizing you to her lies by throwing out that petty shit. Eventually you won't even notice.

The real lies haven't even started yet.

You're getting set up, chump.

Well then you made your bed and now you gotta lay in it. If it's not as bad as I'm extrapolating it to be then maybe you can overlook it.

I agree. She shouldn't be texting and driving.
 
Since she's probably not a legitimate psychopath, she probably just loves the attention that comes from appearing smarter/more skilled than she really is. These people can't help it, they don't trust people to like them for who they are.

What exactly did she say when she tried to shift the blame on you? "OMG you're always pressuring me to be perfect!" or something like that?

It's ok guys, I come from the generation that knows how to operate those crazy fandangled machines.

Now back to helping me with my crazy girl friend
 
I couldn't do it man. I'd leave her. I hate to say it but if you already talked to her and she got all assy about it, there's not much more you can do.

Better to break up sooner rather than later and waste everyone's time.
 
This relationship will end in a fiery ball of fail if you don't:

1. End it now on your own terms

2. Somehow get her to not be a pathological lair (Impossible feat)



Liar= not trust worthy, and with no trust a relationship will only end in pain. Nothing hurts worse than learning this the hard way bro. I want to save you from going down a very sad, heartbreaking path. You need to step up now and make some hard choices. Simple as that.

Real Talk.

I hate people who are texting while driving, makes me want to murder them before they kill me.

What else is there to say that hasn't been mentioned, confront her about the blatant lies and work it out.

Actually no, not that at all. I always support her in whatever she wants to do. What she said was something like (in an angry yelling voice), "thats not what i said! you think im such a liar, you think im a terrible gf, you hate me" etc etc

Carry on then, maybe try to reason and explain how it upsets you if she does make shit up.
Maybe she'll think twice before doing it then, consideration n all.

You go out of your way not to upset her apparently, it can go both ways.

How old is she (ballpark figure).
I'd really hope that kind of drama attitude is just a phase.

But you do think she is such a liar.

Actually, my response came more from my dislike of cars and car drivers. I'm totally cool with phones and texting generally speaking.

OK, fine, I'll stop derailing the thread now, hopefully.
