Frequently Asked Questions
How do I stop checking every message?
You do not stop all checking with one decision. You build a routine where you observe only once a day and then move to behavior check-ins.
Is repeated lying always the reason to leave?
Not always. But repeated lying plus refusal to repair usually means the relationship is not in a growth phase.
What should I do first when he lies again?
Pause the emotional scene, name the lie, then require proof by date. No new theories until proof arrives.
