Re: relationships
em_socal,
I'm 53 years old and I know what people are like. You should not even know this person as a "friend". He will take advantage of you, "use you", and cheat on you.
You like truth (you are a "goldmine" to him). He lives his life without truth (schemes, sneaky), he is a different kind of person, he has you "snookered"/confused you, he wants to keep it that way.
1) He doesn't mind infuruating you. He doesn't mind suggesting that you are a "liar" (not nice, not respectful).
2) He knows that you are not lying, but he can't allow you to realize that, he must keep you "off balance" so that you don't realize his real intentions/schemes and you continue to think that anything that is amiss is your fault (your anger/imagination). He wants to keep you confused. There is no other reason why ANYONE would accuse someone close to them of lying (and for so long) other than a "cover up" (it is a diversionary tactic to make something else/insignificant an issue).
He has you convinced that the problem is YOU (your anger/imagination) and that to solve "the problem" you must "look elsewhere".
OPEN YOUR EYES.
