Married 3 years, second marriage for us both. We have 4 kids, two are mine, two are his. I love him and despite what I'm about to say, he's a great guy. Successful and smart and affectionate and loyal. He's an amazing father and we have a really fun life. 

I have long known he was a compulsive liar but it always seemed to be little things that didn't matter (what he ate for lunch, what he said in a text to his mother, etc). 

His lying has become a major issue in our marriage though. I don't trust a thing he says. It's causing huge insecurities for me in the relationship. He's finally started making efforts to be blunt and honest with me and I'm feeling hopeful. He is saying things I never thought I'd hear from him. (I'm not delusional, I know what I'm dealing with here.)

Today I learned a new word: gas lighting. Holy crap this guy has a masters degree in it. I don't think he does it on purpose though. 

I'm not leaving him so I need to know how to combat this crap so I'm not stuck playing this stupid game. I looked online but all I see are ways to spot the tactics, no advice on how to combat it. 

Can anyone provide a link to helpful material or share their experiences and insight?
