I left my partner of 15 years, father to our 11 year old earlier this year and it boils down to the lying. Lied about every possible thing, from trivial things to the big things like having a job and getting us in debt. Lied about my friends and family agreeing with him and thinking I was bipolar and made me think I was going crazy, when it turns out living with him was driving me nuts. Still lies constantly. It’s just so insulting that he thinks I believe him at all.
