Back, when I was married, lo, those many years ago, my ex-wife would ask me: "Did you take the garbage out?" If I said: "No", I'd get a five minute dose of shit about how I would need to get up five minutes early to beat the garbage truck to the curb ... yada, yada, yada ... I used to just say: "Yes", knowing that I knew that I had to get up five minutes early, etc. I was never really comfortable with whoppers but I was one of those that used to buy into the term "little white lies". I no longer do. If someone will lie to me (and I count lies of omission) about something as silly as "Why didn't you get the car serviced?", what will they do with the serious issues? Will I get the truth? How can I know? While there may be an excess of "drama" in that the OP feels like their whole world is falling apart, maybe I can add some perspective: Your whole world isn't falling apart. You're relationship is. There are far more people in this world who do not practice openness and absolute honesty than those that do. You have found one of those people (honestly, you can't swing a dead cat without finding one of them in this world). It's sounds like you've already made a decision but, in case you haven't; it's one only you can make. If "little white lies" aren't acceptable to you, then have the courage of your convictions and do something about it. While "venting" may be a step, now, it's time to put one foot in front of the other and for you to walk the walk instead of just talking the talk. Good luck, Michael
