You are so right they move onto another sucker like you never happened,but they dont change the routine they just do it to that person until they realise and start digging. My ex partner made up stories about being in the army! He has a muscle wasting disease (not immediately apparent) so I found that hilarious, what army was that the Barmy Army!!!! A British saying.

It is true that they just do it to the next person.

I know where my liar went to live. I have heard from him saying things like..."I got home and he had cleaned the whole house, even scrubbed the tub".

Yeah that sounds so familar. He did the same thing to me. Cooking and cleaning all the time, but guess what, that does not pay the bills.

Then I get "He was going to pay the gas bill as his payment towards rent but they needed more information". Umm no they don't. You take the bill to the payment center and pay it. Very simple. All you need is a bill. You give them money and the account number and they pay it electronically. No "extra" information is needed. He is lying that he has the money and will stall and stall as long as he can. When backed into the corner he may finally admit he lied but then the gas is shut off in the mean time. Or he will claim he did pay it but lost the receipt while you call the gas company several times trying to find out what is going on.

"He cleaned our gutters yesterday". Ohhh that is great but how about going out and looking for a job?

I know that he is going to use him like he did me and I tried to warn him but the person he moved in with is bull headed and thinks that he can handle everything. He can be very convincing but he will also see it in time. The man has an excuse for everything and at first they seem likely but then when you hear the same excuse again and again and again you come to see they are just lies.

If I had a dime for everytime I heard he did not work because his customer forgot to leave him the garage door opener or the customer lost their garage door opener I would be rich.

I know once he goes I'll be doing alot better like most of u that have already gotten rid of your liars..Maybe send him a note and tell him he has a certain amount of days to get his things and if not they r going to the trash,or better yet take them over and drop them off then he has no lie to give u why he can't come and get his things,plus u get rid of his stuff for good!!!!my liar had a b/d on the 20th of Sept..I was on the phone upstairs when there was a knock at the door but by the time I got dwn stairs the ups was gone but left a note he would be back about 10:00 the next day..So when my liar got home I told him the ups was here but I didn't get the door in time..He proceeds to tell me that his boss had sent him a birthday gift,I was like ummm why is that??? he says I don't know...ummmmmm ok..so the next day I get the package,he comes home and I told him there was the ups box,so he opens it up and he pulled out a shirt that had is name & company on it..he has NO COMPANY,so I said why in the hell would he get u that,I don't know he say,so I said well your lying and he said no I'm not,so I said that when I see your boss and I tell him that was nice of him to send u a shirt with a company name on it that isn't yours he's going to say no problem??? he said yes..He knows I will say something and he still lied..then to top that off I moved the box and found a whole box full of them,then I was really ticked,what the hell r u going to do with 12 shirts?? there is NO WAY he sent u those shirts..yes he did he tells me..well 2 days later guess what???? his invoice came and I opened it and sure enough he ordered 12 shirts with almost a 500.000 bill..I sealed it up and gave it to him and he just put it in the closet..so next wk I'm going through the papers and say "OH WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE????"and then listen to more of his lying..they never stop do they??

I don't think I could stand still having to deal with him even as a room mate. I hope you can get out soon or you can get him out soon.

I don't think they could stop if they wanted to. I really think they or no different than an alcoholic or drug addict. They are not going to stop unless they want to and only then with some counceling.

The last two lies mine pulled were about the payment of an electric bill and about a pack of smokes.

We had a large electric bill of almost $300 dollars because he kept screwing it up with his checking acount which is now closed.

He said he had $130 so I gave him $190 to pay it and get some gas in my truck. So he claims he pays it and all it well but he has misplaced the receipt. So I check online in a couple days and what do you know only $170 was paid. When I asked him he then comes up with the original receipt and an additional receipt from the day before where he paid the rest of the $300. He had just got a side job so he had the money from the down payment to pay the rest of the bill.

He never had the $130 to start with. Where that money went I have no idea. He said he had it from a job he just finished and got paid but he obviously did not have it. He came up with some bull story of holding on to it in case we needed it. WTH? The bill was a disconnection. I think we NEED electricity. He only lucked out as it was a weekend so they did not confirm the billing until Monday and by then he made the rest of the payment.

The last lie he told was about a pack of smokes. He was supposed to buy me three packs but when he picked me up from work there were only two. I asked him and he said that one fell behind the glove box because the glove box was so full. I asked him several times to get the pack out but he made it sound like a real chore. He made it sound like there were a lot of screws to remove and like half the dashboard.

I checked when he was in jail. It only required two small rubber clips to be removed which I did. What do ya know there were no cigs back there. I was not even suprised at that point.

When he showed up after he got out of jail he started with some story and I looked him right in his face and said "The pack of cigarettes behind the glove box is the LAST lie you are going to tell me!"

He must of knew I ment business as he got some of his clothes and things and left. I have not heard from him since. Good Riddance.

I have packed all of his stuff in the basement I just have to carry it all up. I never realized he had so much junk. There are two large boxes with nothing but paperwork. I am sure if I went through it all I would discover even more lies but I don't have the energy or really care enough to poke through it all.

It is very hard having him as a room mate but I'm hopeing that will change in the near future..I deal with alot and I don't think it fare that he puts that extra burden on me by lying every waking moment..He went gambleing today with my mom while my sis and I had luch and went shopping,,well he won 162.00 dollars,do u think he gave me any..of course not and I gave him 25.00 for his damn b/d..oh well one day he'll have to answer to someone with all the lies..

The title to this post is "I think my husband is a compulsive liar!" there is NO I think with a compulsive liar,they lie and lie and lie and very seldom ever tell the truth..and the lies they tell r usually big ones with smaller ones added in..and once a liar always a liar..who ever will listen to their crap they will lie to..the best thing to do is get out and if u can't right now then do what means u have to do in order to move on..if ever in question there is alot of post on here who will say the same thing..listen to the one's that have been there,there is no such thing as a couple of lies with a compulsive liar!

SwtSeattleGrl43 is sounds like you are having a very rough day. I hope things are okay. I know we do not know each other personally but I do feel for all the people on this board that have a liar in their life and are trying to cope or just get out.

I agree that they do lie about everything and then they need small lies to cover the big lies. It is nothing more than a vicious circle with them.

I wish I could tell you things are going to get better. I just hope you can find a way out soon. You have already reached the point were you know now he is a liar and you do not believe the lies anymore. I think that is the first hurdle. It still hurts that they continue to do it even after they are discovered. I used to think that since he knew that I knew that he would stop or at least tell me the truth now and then but we know that is not how it works.

Take care and do a little something for yourself today. Even if all you do is get that more expensive coffee or by yourself a little lunch. It helps sometimes.
