Although overall I'm an optimistic person, there is one thing I've lost hope about: finally getting over the guy I'm in love with. I thought we were soulmates. We are both creative, intuitive people and are extremely attracted to each other. We chat for six hours at a time yet hate to end the conversations. He's (almost) everything I've ever wanted in a guy. However...
He lies! All the time. Sometimes about things that one would never consider lying about. I mean, I know everyone lies, but he stretches the truth constantly. The only things I believe about him is that he's a graphic artist and that he loves me.
My question is: Will I ever really get over him? I've tried everything. Cutting off all contact. Weaning myself off of him. Dating others. Being just friends. Nothing works.
I am so depressed and think about him constantly. Any suggestions/ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Maybe on some level you actually like his lies! Maybe if he didn't do that he would be boring?

Nothing but time will truly heal you. Try to ease back into the things you enjoyed before he became your everything. There's no need to rush; it takes time. Adjust gradually. I was just recently able to listen to music again after a breakup. I hope you feel better and eventually he'll be just a mote of a memory.

That's so true. I know I went through a tough one about 7 years ago. I felt totally drained. I walked around in a daze for a while. But then I was relieved that I never had to deal with this awful person anymore.

Sounds like you haven't met him in person, am I right? People lie online. A lot.

Maybe the OP should start telling him lies! Could be interesting!

Hi mia25,

Just curious, how do you know when he's lying and when he's telling the truth?think:

Ask yourself why you want to be attached to a person that lies all the time.

That's a dealbreaker for me!

You deserve better treatment than that.
