Im in a realationship with someone who has lied to me repeatedly about being with another women. He claims he now has nothing to do with her. But I have a hard time believing him. The thoughts consume me. Its all I think about. It puts me in such a dark place.

If it’s repeated, and he’s continuing to lie, how can you trust again? Very difficult.

If you do give him another shot, demand transparency until you can really trust him again. An example would be the next time you’re with him, insist on him handing his phone to you immediately. If he’s up to no good, chances are there will be incriminating evidence on his phone.

If he resists, tell him if he has nothing to hide, there shouldnt be a problem. This is on him, not you. He put himself in a position like this. Good luck
