my husband is addicted to lying about everything to create a false image about himself...he avoids situations which is confrontational eventually when i figure out that he has been lying so far... how do i create a situation where he doesn't lie...or forced to lie.

that is actually a personality disorder. Usually narcissistic or borderline personality disorders. It becomes addictive because lying is more comfortable and avoids arguments. Its very hard to get them to recognize its a problem, because most of the time they dont see what it does to others. If he gets counselling, he may stop. But more than likely he wont. You have to figure out if you can live with not being able to believe your husband. It really stems from very low self esteem. Good luck to you. When someone has a disorder, it can be very frustrating while you wonder "why cant he just stop". :0(

I have the same problem with my husband. He lies to everyone around him...makes up fake statistics and drags other peoples name into a conversation to try to "back up" his lie. Its infuriating to me and others around us. We were in counceling, but have stopped going...
