Is it truth or intimidation?

SO has lied to you in the past about money in order to keep you from leaving the relationship (they have more money than they really do or owe less money than they’ve told you) and you have even left the SO for these lies but have reconciled. You’ve dated a few years but don’t live together however that’s what the SO wants to do and also marry.

You are well established financially and worked your whole life. Want to retire if you can in about 4 years.

You catch SO again in financial lie and ready to break up BUT this time SO corrects the lie/financial mistake knowing SO has been caught and rationalizes it as follows:

Everyone is different about money and didn’t think they did anything wrong. Plus you dated others while there were breaks during relationship and lied about when those ended (kept dating for a while after reconciliation), so let’s start fresh and leave all that behind us.

Problem is you apologized and only did it once. SO has done their lying multiple times even to the point where you are so disgusted and angry that you broke up with him. If he loves you so much, why he is still doing it??

But you really do love each other (no lying there). Is this intimidating you to stay or does it make sense because it’s the truth?

Peanut butter or chocolate?
Ginger or Mary Ann?
Same answer to the same questions?

Now you've got enough for a basketball team. Will you make it to a baseball team? A football squad?

@jespah,
You are too too nice.

I had to edit (and then delete) my own response to this earlier.

She has posted several times on another advice site, too.

There's some OCD going on here with her.

Never mind that he's a late-life moocher.
