Well it's been 5-days since I admitted I'm a liar and joined this site. It was an uncomfortable first night - both literally and metaphrocially speaking. My couch is just a bit too short to make a comfy bed but that's the outcome for being a liar. I was kicked out of my own bed. So that's the physical


Then the metaphorical as I spent the night listening to every creak and noise in the house thinking everytime something creaked that she was up and leaving me. But so far, so good she's still here! and even more importantly, I've not lied. At all. About anything.


It feels weird but also libeerating. Being honest is an odd feeling. But at the same time, it doesn't feel like anything has changed. I did think that this site would be more active though, which is a little disappointing. I mean we're all here for similar reasons - in so much as we talk crap for no good reason - but there's not as much interaction as I expected. Still we're all caught up in our own problems. Still if anyone needs a friendly ear. Just ask.

Ya. I have been a bit negligent in visiting the site as much as I really should. I know right where you are as far as no longer being allowed in the same room as your partner. My wife kicked me out of our room some time ago and for some reason, I haven't been able to get it together enough so that I can be forgiven. I will go some time being good and then trip up and every time that I do trip up, she catches it. I should know better. I should know that the truth, while short term may be painful, in the long run is always the best way to go. I always fear that she'll end up being angry with me if she knows the truth about whatever it may be that I am lying about. I guess that I just need to learn to get over my own fears.

Thank you for sharing. It's the beginning and it feels Uncomtable. Thank you for the update. It helps as I'm only 5 steps behind you.

Interesting comments and thoughts. Not lying is a good feeling. It relieves your mind such that you can be productive in other things, and not have to be constantly spending mental energy covering those lies so no one finds out. And one of the things on my list is to read and comment on the site every day, to help me remember the damage my lies have done, and think about what I need to be doing to repair that damage and stay honest.
