He lies about how much money he takes out of the bank even though he knows I check on our bank accounts on line almost daily. He lies about being the person who left a mess and blames my daughter.  I am so sick and tired of being with someone that I cannot trust. He lies about being at the supermarket  when he is at the bar.
Just this last Saturday, I informed him that I knew he was lying to me the day prior about being at the supermarket when he was at the bar. I told him that I cannot understand why he would lie about stopping for a drink with his friend. He apologized and once again promised to stop lying to me. I found out today that he lied about how much money he withdrew at the ATM at the casino. He said he withdrew $150 but he withdrew $200.  Why would someone lie about $50? I cannot believe a word that comes out of this mans mouth. I told him that he has a serious problem and that I am fed up with his deception. I told him that he either gets into counseling or I am done with this marriage. After 13 years, I am done. One more lie and it will be totally over. Lying to your spouse is so juvenile. I could understand a lie if he was having an affair, but he isn’t. He lies just to lie.
Does anyone have any advice? I wish I could hurt him like he has hurt me but I am just not a liar. Help!!

I think you are doing the right thing but you have overlooked something. Most of the time the lies have to do with his drinking. It sounds like this is his problem and maybe AA will help. People that drink often are completely different.
