My boyfriend (28) cannot stop lying to me (22). We have been together nearly 2 years, and I love him dearly. What should I do? (Page 2)

Question

He provides everything - bills (phone, food etc.), and a stable home after I left my abusive family. I first found out he had an issue with lying 2 months in (he lied about the last time he saw a girl before we were together. However, since it was about his past, I let it go) The next lie was about prostitutes in the past. He kept saying it was only 3 times, but I always said I think he is lying, and he would make me feel so bad. A year later (during an argument) he said that actually he had seen 30+. I felt like I didn't know him. I said I'm done because I'm sick of the lies. Even before that there were always stories he told of his life that were never consistent The breakup was 2 weeks. He sent a huge apology saying he was ashamed of himself and ready to tell the truth. Some time later I was trying to explore the topic and he said he never told me he was ashamed, and when I showed the text he was trying to squirm out of it saying he didn't mean he was ashamed of himself but the behaviour I begged him to tell the full truth, and he said he did. This happened multiple times over weeks, and it would always turn out there was something else he didn't say - like a "work friend" being someone that he had slept with in the past, or not telling me that for his work trip he shared a room (not bed) with a female colleague, or that in the 2 weeks of us not being together he tried to sleep with someone in secret but "didn't do it" despite begging me not to see anyone, and to be open with him if I planned to. Nowadays when I get suspicious of him and grill him he catches an attitude, and got mad cause I called his mum to verify a story. I feel insane He is starting therapy, so I wonder if I am giving up easily because nobody is perfect, and this is what love is. He says he doesn't doesn't know why he lies, but he seems genuinely remorseful. I only want him & feel worse to think he could change after therapy and be an honest to someone else

Tell him either the lying stops or it’s over, and be a woman of your word.
