Can a pathological liar truely be helped?

Question

My hubby lies about EVERYTHING; and not just to me. Even the most unimportant things & obvious things, I catch him lying on a daily basis but it's gotten to the point that I don't even bother busting him because I feel it's useless. After 5 years of trying I am finally giving up... Is there any hope of having a happy, HONEST marriage with somene like this? He is also a diabetic; what medications (if any) would most likely be prescribed for him? Thanks

I wasn't very clear - I meant what types of mediciations would a diabetic be able to take for this problem, that wouldn't interfere with the medicines he is already taking for his diabetes...and yes he is both inculine dependant & also taking 2 types of pills to control his blood sugar.

Answer 1

It is worth remembering that Human beings do not do things without a reason, so maybe you are asking the wrong question. If you really care for this man and he cares for you, you can persuade him to get help. He was not born a liar so he must have learnt this behaviour somewhere or developed it as a way of dealing with something. Help him find out which and he can be helped through a number of means including psychotherapy. You have tried for 5 yearsit would seem a shame to give up just yet as there are other things to try. As for the Diabetes it very much depends on how severe whether he will even need medication. A lot of low level diabetics are diet controlled. Hope this helps.

FIRST ABOUT THE LIES:YOU WENT ALONG WITH IT ,BY GIVING UP ON HIM.So now it became accepted behaviour.Dont go along with this,He wil never change if everyone goes along with his obvious lying:whats behind this:being the cenrter of attention to make everything bigger ,better.Maybe its a cry for atention,but I would dump him like a bad habbit.
ABOUT HIS DIABETES:IS HE INSULINE DEPENDENT OR IS HE ON PILLS? iNJECTIONS MUST BE TAKEN BEFOR EVERY MEAL.And he should check his bloodsugar art least 4,5 times a day,It is possible that he did not accept the disease as being part of him.Talk to the internist who is his doctor and ask about the facts.Succes with your "baby"Greetings:Rob.xxx

I'm a diabetic also. But it has nothing to do with being a Liar!! The medication, makes you grogyand sleepy!! But make you a liar?? no!

Answer 4

There is no medication for lying. Dump this guy cause you will never be able to trust him, he is also childish if he believes he can get away with it.

Umm, how in the world can you use the terms "pathological liar" and "truly" in the same sentence?
