After we 'broke up' God began opening my eyes to truths about Himself and the lies that I had been living for almost a year. (Quest for Love, Elisabeth Elliot)

Is the relative pronoun "that" the object of "living" or the object of "for"?
It's not a relative pronoun there. If you remove it, the sentence will mean exactly the same thing:

- I had been living lies for almost a year.
- I had been dishonest with myself for almost a year.
