Question - (28 July 2007) 2 Answers - (Newest, 28 July 2007)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I recently met this guy that I like a lot, but I don't know what's wrong with me. I keep telling lies. Like I made up this guy to get him jealous and I ended up making up that he went too far so I hit him. I even cut my hand to make it look like I hit him.

I think it may be a way of getting attention, and maybe I do it subconsiously, but I need to stop before it gets out of control.

Any adivce?

bubbloo24 agony auntIt seems that you are becoming a habitual liar.

You need to tell this guy the truth, you can't have a relationship with a foundation of lies. If he leaves you, it's his decision to make and you have to leave him to it because you are in the wrong. You have to let him make that decision.

Sorry, I had to be brutally honest with this one.

Take care x

A reader, anonymous, writes (28 July 2007):

Not right. There are harmless lies and lies that destroy bit by bit. I don't think you should mention to him you cut your hand in order to support your lie because he'd be very doubtful about everything else, instead decide and change this. You should be honest to yourself if you lie only conver your previous lies or indeed you can't abstain from it. If there is an adiction, it's a disease and a therapist should be consulted.
