Let’s see…the biggest lie I ever believed came about when I was working with a director on an exciting project. We both agreed (so I thought) that I would produce the project. Boy was I shocked when I found out my position was promised to someone else. This after I brought money to the table… talent… you know the things some producers do… I did. The pain from this moment is still with me today.

The ones my first husband told me when he tricked me into marrying him.

Oh boy! My first and only husband of 30 yrs. now convinced me when I met him that NO ONE would want me so I might as well marry him. I cannot believe that I fell for that! He said all marriages were difficult in the beginning and needed a solid foundation to build on…hence his controlling ways were to be construed as helping me to do just that. Over the years I was supportive and always challenging him as I did have my own mind. Well now he has wife #2 and yes we are still married. Seems you can do anything in other countries that you choose. Whether it is on paper or not and entire expat community is discussing the situation. My “husband” is convinced that he deserves a new life as he only has five or so years to live and he wants to be happy. I wonder if he even knows what happiness really is. He is following what Jack Welch, Fred Smith and so may other midlife executives have done by giving up on their marriage and marrying/living with the trophy wife. Our daughter was in a car crash 4 yrs. ago and is now a quadriplegic that I have taken care of ever since. My husband has accepted a job that permits him to travel 99% of the time (or so he says) because he cannot look at my daughter…she is too needy. Duh! He is ever so convinced if he signs the mortgaged houses over to me that all will be well. We are in the works of Estate Planning to ensure that my handicapped daughter and her two sisters who are all in their 20s will be taken care of upon either of our deaths. But, if you are mortgage poor what really is the point? I haven’t worked since the accident in 2003. Yes, I was not a college graduate but always managed to find a secretarial/admin type job where I could earn a salary. I may never earn that six figure, but I need that identity back where at least when you make a photocopy for someone else they say thank you and you actually feel like you have value.

That I was the first priority for someone else.

I guess the biggest lie I believed was being told that if I voted for him and he was elected, he would help lower property taxes and help the low and middle income families make a better life for themselves and their families. No American should be living on the streets, no American should be without healthcare, no American should be struggleing to put food on the table to feed their children and no damn dozen of eggs should be $2.00 a dozen. Please ladies, make a question of the day “What do you think of our politicians?”

You found eggs for $2 a dozen? In Vegas it’s closer to $3.

I was going to say that my husband told me he wasn’t cheating on me. But your answer is more appropriate. I was in denial about the whole thing. After 26 years of marriage I just didn’t want to see it or believe that he didn’t love me anymore.

Sigh… The Tooth Fairy. I believed, until I caught mom in the act. I have shamelessly lied to my children about the existance of Tooth Fairy as well.

That’s what we do as Mom’s…sometimes.

When my ex husband told me, before the marriage…that after we got married we would adopt “as many children as we can” and have a large family. Two years into the marriage he finally said he didn’t want to raise “someone else’s kid”. Fortunately for him, I didn’t feel that way…I had just adopted his son from a previous marriage and happily raised him to adult hood…then I kicked his lying Father to the curb.
