0:00.0 | Am I the jerk for thinking that my husband is lying about having cancer? |
0:04.4 | So my husband and I have been married for four and a half years. |
0:07.3 | We met when we were in seventh grade and the relationship hasn't been perfect at all. |
0:11.2 | He is a compulsive liar and he drinks a lot. |
0:13.5 | Over the course of our relationship, he has lied almost weekly about drinking and almost |
0:17.6 | daily about small things, like what he had for dinner or if he brushed his teeth at all. |

1:05.6 | there's COVID restrictions and I believed that and the fact that he would also be around other |
1:09.6 | cancer patients led me to trust him. I stayed in the car for about 4 hours once a week. |
1:14.4 | After 6 weeks, he said he was done with part 1 and that it was time for them to look at the scans |
1:19.5 | and plan for surgery. When the results of the scans came, his cancer was magically gone. |
1:24.7 | I mean, come on, what a miracle. I asked for some lab work or documentation to prove it was |
1:29.9 | finally over. I couldn't believe my ears to be completely honest. I needed to see it in writing. |
