I just lied to my boyfriend again..... and i think he has givin up on trying to help me change. I lie even when i have nothing to hide.. I get nervous and lie because i feel like my partner will be upset even when logically there is nothing to be upset about. He says Its becuse I am not mature an one day ill realize im ready to grow up and start telling the truth. I want to start the process. i have hurt a lot of people with my lies, but especially him. I lie because im afraid of hurting people and I end up hurting them anyway.. Im so exhuasted emotionally. He says i need to except my self for who I am but I am struggling because I do not want to be this person... A liar.... Growing up I didnt have any freedom and my mom ruled with an iron fist. I felt that i had to do anything to please her. She ws never affectionate and always so degrading. I lied to avoid confrontation and to try to keep her happy. And now that I have a healthy loving relationship I find myself reverting back to my old ways. Please any advice on ways I can get ahold of the lies and change for the better. I do not want to ruin any more relationships.
