Question - (14 February 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 15 February 2010)
A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

ive known this guy 6 months and we've become very close friends very quickly. ive been a rock to him since his wife left him 7 months ago but i have a major problem he lies to me. i know this because he tells me lots of things which dont add up eg he told me he owned 2 houses and then kept changing the story about them then he said he owned a car but then forgot when i asked him about it.

he also says he likes an old family friend and that her man is in jail for attacking her yet her facebook profile shows her very happy in very recent pics with a guy and it appears shes had a new baby with him-something my friend didnt mention. also when i call he says shes there yet i dont believe him. why is he doing this ? apart from that i adore him as a friend but this stuff is worrying me. i cant confront him but its making me feel uneasy am i going crazy or is he lying to me. please help

No wonder you like him. It sounds like he's feeding you a made-up person that he thinks you would like.

Whoever he really is, you probably haven't met that guy yet.

Mmmm.. now you can see why the wife left! Don't get involved with this chap however much you like him as he is a fantasist. People like this or pathological liars as they are technically called truly believe that what they are saying at that moment in time is the truth. They are dangerous to spend time with as they normally are unable further down the line to differentiate between right and wrong. If confronted they will normally change the subject or say that you misunderstood. They will never admit that they made it up or are in the wrong. By all means keep him as a friends but take everything he says with a pinch of salt and don't get involved romantically.
