Fiancee (47M) has lied to me (37F)
Hi there! I am having a dilemma and dont know how to approach this with my fiancee... how to even let him KNOW I know about the dishonesty.
My fiancee (47m) and I (37f) have been living together for about a year. He has been sick and hasnt worked since hes moved in. I have been taking care of the entire household and it is really starting to weigh on me. I also have a young son who I am responsible for.
My fiancee likes to partake in some 🍃 due to illness. I, of course, reluctantly have been providing funds for this. It has become a LOT, he is doing more and more, and I have mentioned that he really needs to cut back, as my financial situation has become pretty strained.
Well- today his "friend" messaged me. (He has no idea i have the guys number, as I had wondered about how much hes been spending for a while... and got the number to speak to him about it)
I have sent him with say, $20 in cash each time the past couple times... and hes been coming home saying he got "hooked up"
Well, I learned today that is not the case.
Apparently, he has told this person twice now that I am sending "the other $20" to him on an app... but I "Forgot"
The guy messaged me to make sure that was the case, which is how I found out. Mortified, I told him that I had no clue that was happening, and he said he figured. Sent me screen shots of texts that my fiancee had sent proving that he DID, in fact, say I would be sending money and I "forgot"
I gave the money to the guy, and im furious.
Me and him agreed that I would tell my fiancee that he sent me a payment request for the amount owed, so that my fiancee wouldnt know that I have this guys number and speak with him.
When fiancee came home I mentioned the "payment request" and he goes "oh! He didnt mean to send that dont worry about it"
Just so casually lied!
My thing is- my trust feels SO broken- and I have no clue how to actually confront my fiancee about knowing he lied about me sending more money to this guy. How can I confront him?
