The easy answer is stop telling lies and no doubt half truths, it is simply not acceptable in any close relationship and will cause a breakdown.
These days many businesses employ customer service agents to feed misinformation for their own gain, maybe you are employed a a service agent for a car dealership or a call centre where lying to customers is an essential requirement. I have experienced this many times, occasionally so thinly disguised they are immediately revealed, I guess it is so closely ingrained in their personality it is automatic.
Any relationship personal or business requires trust but you are not going to break the habit easily, so start by not compounding the lie, if caught out don't tell another to justify the first, your partner seems very tolerant and he will understand if you do make the effort to change.
