Liar, liar

By skanula414 - 31/12/2014 19:00 - Sweden - Malm?

Today, I found out my 7-year-old daughter really did lie about my husband's "other girlfriend" as revenge for being grounded, and that he never cheated on me at all. We're well into our divorce proceedings and he won't forgive me for not believing him when he denied it. FML

I'm sorry OP, but you deserved it. It sounds like you never trusted him in the first place because if you did, you would have believed your husband when he said he never cheated. Why would you straight away believe your 7 year old daughter about your husband? Especially if it's something as serious as cheating! Hopefully you can learn to trust him now & work things out. Goodluck!

I find it funny that in a divorce the parents usually have to reassure their children that it isn't their fault, however in this case it is the child's fault!

must of been a lot of other problems, that and you were most likely cheating. As cheaters always believe spouse is cheating on them

I think it's more the fact she didn't speculate anything she just went ahead and took word for it. Either OP is that gullible she believed a 7yr old or she has serious trust issues

Congratulations on raising a spoilt brat. I'd nip her lying in the butt now or she's only going to get worse. Also show her the consequences of her actions. That telling that lie ruined all three of your lives and she's to blame

It's not uncalled for, the child told an outright lie that had serious consequences. Her parents are getting divorced because she lied and she now has to live with the repercussions of that lie.

her parents obviously had other issues and you should be able to tell when kids are lying.

I've never heard of kids lying about serious stuff like that. A lot of times kids seem to bluntly tell the truth. When I was a kid I only lied about really dumb and small stuff, I never even thought of stuff like that...

Life lesson learned: Never trust children, especially if they're upset. Unfortunately for you, you had to learn this lesson too late...

That's beyond idiotic. What if your child said that someone molested them? You should just ignore it?

@#89 I've been thinking this same thing with every comment i've read that said 'trust your husband over your kid'

Yes if the child says the father molested them...in so many cases the mother will refuse to believe it (not wanting to believe it about their beloved) and the abuse will continue. A child as twisted as OP's daughter could lie about that. On the other hand in the past, for example in Ireland with the church abuse, children were called liars and punished for it. In short, everything must be checked and verified; the initial accusation must be taken seriously but action must only be taken on what is found to be true.

This FML is almost unbelievable. We don't know this kid though. We don't know if she habitually lied or just told this one big whopping lie - and if she would be the kind of kid who would do that out of revenge or not. I mean, how much is a 7 year old going to know about marriage and adultery? Why would the mother immediately take the child's word for it instead of at least investigating and finding out the truth before jumping to conclusions? This whole thing stinks to me. It's probably bullshit.
