Reply To: My Partner Has A Habit Of Lying To Me

So, your SO’s lies aren’t the kind I was expecting (i.e., deceit, manipulation, or betrayal). This is a communication problem, not really an honestly problem. If I had to guess, their difficulty with communicating difficult feelings stems from their family of origin and would take active effort to unlearn. But on the flip side, maybe they need time to process before they can talk about what’s going on but it sounds like you expect an explanation on your timeline and terms. IMO you seem a bit controlling (forcing them to block an another person on social media was out of bounds).

This sounds like a lot for three months in. I don’t think you should issue an ultimatum. Is your partner in therapy? Are you? If you don’t want to end things I suppose you could work on your communication but I don’t think it bodes well that it’s this hard so early on. I’d walk away.
