You know, my ex-fiance' was a compulsive liar and as I later found out, also a kleptomaniac. For two years, I was completely fooled. It wasn't until he was arrested for an assault on me that the lying thing hit home. I had to pack his things while he was in jail since I got a protective order. I found all these things that he took from friends of mine and then found things that he lied about.
I don't get it. I still don't get it. What do you call someone who is a compulsive liar and a kleptomaniac? I don't think there is a particular illness for that or is it something like borderline personality disorder. But, my ex- also had so many bad things happen to him, supposedly. I found out accidentally from his parents that most of those stories weren't true.
I mean, you wouldn't not believe someone who told you that he was molested by his biological father when he was very young. Of course, you would believe something like that. I honestly believe now that my ex- could cry on commmand.
