Does a liar believe his own lies?

It depends on the liar. Some people who weave multiple lies around themselves might get lost in the fantasy that they are real and convince themselves of them. This is more likely to be the case if the lies are to make themselves look better than they are or feel more important. It is less likely in the case of someone simply lying to get out of trouble. For instance if someone lies and says they were at work while they were really cheating on a spouse, its highly unlikely that they believe this lie. But if someone says they are well traveled when they have never left their town, they might, after telling multiple stories about their adventures, start to feel and believe them, themselves. One set of lies is purely selfish. The other is mainly based on low self esteem.

Why does a sociopath have to disrespect their partners and call them mad?

Hmm... a socialpath is someone who lies at will without normal remorse. They lie so many times that they have corrupted and burned their conscience into submission. It is common in cases of adultery, where the offending partner has betrayed their spouse, their children, their friends and anyone they are hiding their adultery from with an almost infinite layer of lies. They tell these lies so frequently they start to believe them themselves. They will even rewrite their history in their own mind, to justify their activity, demonize their spouse and justify their lies. It is a form of addiction and insanity. It is VERY common when confronted that they will first turn the accusations back onto the other person and accuse them of lying and being crazy. Unless a person at this stage gets a very serious wake-up call to jolt their conscience back to life, the relationship with their spouse will often deteriorates to the point of divorce. Sorry if this has happened to you--it is a sad situation.
