I found out my live in boyfriend has been having an affair. When I confronted him about it he admitted to it and said his mistress is married. I have since found out that she is not married (and never was).Why would he lie to me about her being married? What difference would it make if she was or wasn't married?
Generally when confronted with this type of situation I am hesitant to tell you what to do but to just answer the question. Which I have. I would be remiss if I didn't add my thoughts here that you would be better off without him.
He cheated on you and then for whatever stupid reason after admitting to it he compound the situation with a lie. This is not someone you want to make a life with. Tell him to take a hike. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

He is a liar. He is cheating on you & lying again about that relationship. You need to talk. You can mend this relationship, but NOT if he is going to continue to lie. Have it out with him. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

He might have thought that if the woman he cheated on you with was married, you'd see her as less of a long term threat. That because he couldn't really leave you to be with her, because the other woman had her own obligations.
