Compulsive Lying in Relationships - Healing Trust With a Lying Husband or Wife
Compulsive Lying in Relationships : Healing Trust With a Lying Husband or Wife
Compulsive lying in marriage can be one of the most painful challenges a couple faces. Whether it’s a husband or wife who lies repeatedly, the constant dishonesty chips away at safety, connection, and intimacy. In this episode, we explore why compulsive lying develops, how it impacts relationships, and what steps are needed to rebuild honesty and trust.
Lying isn’t always about deception for gain. Often, it’s a coping mechanism learned early in life—used to avoid shame, conflict, or painful truths. Over time, though, this pattern becomes destructive, leaving both partners feeling stuck in cycles of mistrust and distance. You may already know your partner lies, but understanding why it happens and how to address it is key to breaking the cycle.
In this episode, we’ll cover:
- The psychology behind compulsive lying in relationships
- Why spouses may lie even when they don’t have to
- How chronic dishonesty affects safety and intimacy
- What rebuilding trust actually requires in a marriage
- The steps both partners can take toward healing
If you’ve wondered how to stop compulsive lying, how to cope with a lying husband or wife, or whether a marriage can heal after repeated dishonesty—this episode will give you clarity and direction.
