Good luck to you! :)
Well at least you admit it. Some people lie so much they start to believe their own lies. You really need to get counseling. I only say this because one day you will really hurt someone not intentionally if they do find out you lied to them. You need to put yourself in their shoes. I also think your husband should go to counseling with you. He might need to reasure his trust in you.
you will need behavior modification. i have a young brother who was so fearful of being yelled at by my mother he would lie for everything. as you say, when he didnt even need to. you AND your husband will have to go to counseling so he can stop enabling you. when i was diagnosed with OCD my ex husband and i went to counseling. i for my disorder and he at a seperate time to learn how to stop being an enabler. for example i would make him check the windows and doors of our home 2x even after i checked them myself. but he'd do it, and that is a form of enabling. he learned to say "no" and then learned to talk me "down". meaning he'd say" lissette, remember when you checked the door. well that's all we're going to do. and we are NOT getting out of bed to go check it again". and he wouldnt let me leave the bed. your husband may have to be brave, even if it ambarrasses you, and say"babe, are you sure you ate spaghetti for dinner, because i smell eggs." GOOD LUCK and dont be so down on yourself. everyone is a bit wacky and everyone needs a psychologist. as my own psychologist said. we're all crazy just some are crazy than others! lol
Your lying comes from your not believing that what you have to say in the first place, is good enough.
