why do men lie in a marriage?

aren’t they afraid of the lie being discovered and the consequences of that?
or do they think they they are too smart and the wife is too stupid for the lie to be ever discovered?

i was married to a porn addict, narcissist and pathological liar who was joined at the hip with his parents. of course the marriage didn’t survive, but i wonder why would one want to get married in the first place if the relationship was built on lies? what was his plan B if he got caught?

    Sorry but it’s your fault for marrying a liar. I see all my nice guy friends left out in the cold by girls who choose the bad boys. I have zero sympathy when girls get exactly what they bargained for.

    Perhaps you gave him indications that he could fool you over a period of time or he thought he could hurt you without any repercussions.

    His plan be was that you wouldn’t have a backbone and let him walk all over you.

    Most men think that women,are a necessary evil. They think that men are smarter then women.

    Well, if he truly was a pathological liar, he really believed everything he said. No matter how bizarre and untrue something may be, a pathological liar has complete and total confidence they are speaking the truth.

    So, he had no plan B since he believed the relationship was built on total honesty….seriously.

    I believe you are a liar or not. A man won’t start lying just after marriage, if he lies it’s because he’s always been a liar. You just didn’t detect it before.

    I was once married to a pathological liar. He lied to me while we were dating and I chose to ignore it. After we married the lies just got bigger and bigger. I only have myself to blame for ignoring the red flags.

    Why do 90% of women lie to men, when they get married?
    Their all nice, good looking and sexually accommodating in the beginning, and then after popping out a couple of kids.
    They find out how hard it is.
    All the responsibility gets overwhelming
    They let themselves go, get fat and get very irritable
    And you’re life is pure misery

    That’s not the sweet good looking woman I married?
    Isn’t that not a lie? Or false pretenses

    And if you don’t believe me ck the divorce rate

    Men lie as a REACTION to their women.

    Example, if you are the kind of person that flys off the handle if a woman talk to your husband (innocently)… he is probably never going to mention any woman he meets. If he can’t come to you and talk without being judged…do you think he will even want to talk about things?

    Men don’t want to get into an argument if they don’t have to. We don’t mind compromising and discussing…but a full on b@tch fest is something we avoid at all costs.

    I have been married for over 12 years and at this point I know when to tell the truth and when to hold back the truth.

    The small stuff like "Do I look like I gained weight?" or "Did you masturbate while I was gone" I will lie like a politician.

    The big issues like "did you cheat on me?" or "Do you still love me?" I will always tell the truth on.

    Sure in an ideal world you would tell your spouse the truth ALL THE TIME and never hold back. The reality is that marriage don’t work like that. The trick is being honest on the important things, and not letting the small things mushroom into huge things.

    Its all about picking your battles.

    My question would be, why didn’t you know this man well enough to know these things about him BEFORE you married him and why did you CHOOSE to marry him in the first place? He isn’t responsible for the fact that you made a very bad life choice…that’s all on YOU.
