My Husband Lied To Me And I'm Confused & Hurt
Women feel confusion, grief, and intense sorrow when their husbands lie about pornography use and other forms of betrayal.
Some women even say that the lying is even more painful than the actual betrayal.
It is completely normal to feel devastated by your partner's dishonesty. You can take positive actions to protect yourself from further harm and begin the path to healing.
Read the full transcript below and listen to the free BTR podcast to hear the story of an anonymous woman who found healing and peace after devastating emotional abuse, including lying.
I Think He Lied To Me But I'm Not Sure
Abusive men are master-manipulators and because of that, it's not always easy to spot a lie.
Lying is not just saying something untrue, it is also:
* Withholding the truth* Admitting to a partial truth* Using semantics to mislead* Overexaggerating or underexaggerating the truth* Guilting and shaming a partner for asking for answers
My Husband Lied To Me: Now What?
It is very important for women to set safety boundaries after betrayal. Boundaries are courageous actions that women take to separate themselves from abuse. Lying is a form of psychological and emotional abuse and it causes intense emotional pain in women's lives.
Seeking support is another important step after discovering betrayal and lying.

My Husband Lied To Me For Years
