Today, my girlfriend confessed to cheating on me. Unfortunately, she's a pathological liar and I can't be sure if it's really true, along with half the stuff she tells me on a daily basis. Love is hard. FML

Why are you even with someone like that, since you can't trust her? o_O

I had a friend like that. I wasn't sure if half the stories she told me were true or not. She had an entire life made up (I think)

Pathological lying is a psychological disorder, not a superficial craving of attention

Well either she's cheating on you or she's pretending she's cheating on you... Both a reason to end the relationship surely?

I hope you can find a good girl! Believe it or not there are still some of us out there! Good luck:)

My opinion: break up with her

Love isn't hard. Get rid of her and find a woman worth your time and it isn't hard. Dating terrible people is hard, but it's also a choice.

If it turns out she didn't actually cheat on you and you really do love her, I don't necessarily think you should just "get rid of her" as people are saying. However I do agree with people that romantic relationships should be based on trust. Therefore, perhaps you should put your relationship on break and work together to get her some outside help before you continue to develop the romantic side of things. If not professional help, then at least family/friends who care about her. That way you show her that you do still care for her and want to support her, but you distance yourself a bit and avoid being sucked down with her (if she cannot or will not try to change). If she really did cheat on you, then run fast and run far.

Okay hello some things to lay down after reading comments. I'm a pathological liar myself and I completely hate myself for it. It's very, VERY hard to control. I have this because my mother is epileptic, and usually there is some sort of neurological condition passed down from it. My boyfriend does know of my condition and we discussed it for a while. How we maintain trust is whenever I've discovered I lied about something, I immediately tell him. It could be hours, days, or months later that I discover this. He understands that this is not something I and those like me do intentionally. Regarding the situation, I don't know how severe her case is but to me it seemed like she was telling the truth that time. Most of the time we make up lies that make us look better or gives us sympathy. Again, extremely hard to control it. But she may have a very severe case, I've heard of some where whenever any situation pops up in their heads it immediately becomes reality. TL;DR : Pathological lying is a very hard condition to control and those who have it really hate themselves because of their condition. Please don't demonise us, we really do try our best to maintain and stop it

I'm happy to see someone fighting agaisnt their problems like that. Congrats :)

I know 2 people that are pathological liars. One of them is my best friend and I like her lies, they're usually some dumb shit she makes up about celebrities. I like to call her lies stories. The other one is ******* **** bitch with so many problems that lying isn't even close to the worst one. I can almost always tell when my friend is lying but with the other girl it's best to just never believe a word she says. Which is sad because there are times when she might be telling truth but we'll never really know. The problem with both of them is that neither of them seem to know they're liars.

Why oh why are you even with her??? Love is hard w someone like that but you are clearly making a choice to be w someone like that. Not always hard otherwise

Love is hard, but nobody is forcing you to date a psychopath.
