[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband lies all the time and he is getting tested for bipolar.  He already had depression, anxiety, and adhd. He recently came out as bisexual, but before that also lied all the time. We are finally getting separated because I just simply can't make any plans with a liar. He has no ability to see the future. The executive functioning aspect to plan is completely missing which is why [b]we've decided he has no problem lying because it's always about what feels right in the moment[/b].[/quote]

Who is "we've"?  You and your husband?

That's not even remotely true. 
My husband and son both have severe ADHD and executive functioning is their greatest challenge... and neither of them lie due to it.

I think you should reserve diagnosis to the professionals and not allow him to state whatever is convenient for him, because that is a lie too.

It is a comorbid condition that is sometimes present. My son had it from a young age. Your husband and son might not have that particular comorbid issue. Goodness. You'd think you'd know by now that there are plenty of comorbid conditions with ADHD and Aspergers, Anxiety, and Depression. In my husband's case, his inability to look into the future and past makes him more impulsive and more likely to lie in the short term.
