What are you supposed to do when your partner says they're a liar, that they always have been and dont know how to change. Hes starting therapy soon, which he desperately needs for other reasons as well, but what the hell. Should I stick around and hope the therapy helps or what? Maybe he'll just get better at lying, I dont know what to do.

The issue with sticking around is you already know you can't build the relationship on trust or anything real. There isn't anything there to build a relationship on. The fact he's getting therapy might be useful for someone else, but unless you can ever learn to trust him again then it's a difficult challenge to make the relationship work. I suppose his trying to change for you might get him points, but you need to have a discussion with him about your future together to figure things out and come to a clear decision.
