An Extremely Thorough Guide to ‘Who TF Did I Marry’2024 Feb 28
When I was a kid, my best friend's stories never added up. As I grew up and my penchant for believing fantasy withered, I came to realize that he wasn't living a spectacular life, but was just a pathological liar. That part of my life is now over, and has left me vigilant for bullshit. And so I'm fascinated by others' tales of encounters with these liars, such as this woman in the linked post who apparently married a habitual liar. Why do these liars spin their lies? Is it just wish fulfillment, attempting to be the person they wish they were? No, I believe it's something deeper, some compulsion to manipulate the people around them, to push the limits of their gullibility.
