Could you really lie to someone you love? Even if it’s understood that trust is very important on both ends?

I grew up in an environment where trust was nonexistent. I got into a relationship with a guy who has become my absolute best friend. We were together for 3 years when I found out he was lying to me about a lot of things. Now I feel like our foundation is shaky and I don’t know if I can trust him at all. He is trying to justify his lying but I am lost. Could you lie to someone if you really love them? I have already stated I would much rather him be honest about whatever, then I could at least trust and respect him. Don’t try to lie to protect my feelings…
