1) It could be compulsive, meaning he has known no other truth but 'his', believe it or not.
2) He's just plain scared that the actual truth will freak you out.
I don't think it's a personal thing, nor, whether you're his ex or not, do I think that you're being singled out. The person must not like himself very much or the world he lives in, nor does he believe that people respect him much, which is why he has to create a new world of his own choosing.

I guess he's been so used to lying to you that he can't help but continue. He must be a compulsive liar. Does he just lie to you or does he lie every chance he gets. If it's just to you, tell him to cut the crap out already, you're not interested in what he has to lie about.

Habit?
Tell him to grow up. Or get some professional help. Sounds like lying is a lifestyle for him, and that's just not healthy. Rather than focusing on what it means to you when he lies, focus on what this means about him. I know he's your ex, but as a human being, he still deserves some compassion. Urge him to seek help.

My x husband is a hibitual liar, he lies about everything and i dont think he even realizes he is doing it half the time because he's lied so long he has to lie to keep up all the other lies, to where in his mind the lies manifest into the truth in his own mind..

Thats kinda funny. He still feels the need to lie to you and your not even married anymore. He must be a compulsive liar or something.

He's a liar, addicted to lies. Like any addict, it's a tragic habit that he must get help for. In the meantime, don't take it personally, and don't waste any more time wondering about his flaws. Ex him out of mind!

not able to move past to what he doesn't know. he is still holding on at some level to the past. you may have to deal with it for a long time if you two have children. he probably sees that now as his only connection to what he once had with you. so would not be so willing to let it go. my dad is still like that with my mom. and there both like late 50's early 60's now. broken up for a long long time, but still treats her old school like the little wife needed to be coddled. he's ok, just not able to move past it. unfamiliar territory.

You need to be more precise to get a decent answer...
What does he lie to you about ?
The point could be to make you feel bad (revenge) or not to worry about how he is doing (concern). It all depends...

I wish I had the answer. Maybe he a pathological liar. My ex is just plain stupid so his lies are unintentional. He doesn't do his research on things before he opens that food hole of his

It just his way, which probably one of the reasons he's now your ex. For some people lying is a way of life. He'll never change.
