What Is The Biggest Lie Someone Ever Told You?

[GregoryJoseph]

Have you ever caught someone close to you in a lie? I'm not talking a little white lie; I'm talking a doozy.

A whopper.

Something that was literally jaw dropping and made you change the way you thought of that person for the rest of your life.

I've got a few to share but I just need a little time to figure out which one is the biggest.

[Sue_Bender]

The most shocking was when my kids revealed to me that they were adopted.

I hate to be a spoilsport, Sue...but this is the "That's Life" forum. Sorry.

It was a pretty funny line though.

[Don Stugots]

that they were a friend

that they were single

I know, G.J. I tried very hard not to be a douche. I'll come up with something for realz after I do some more snooping. :wink:

[underdog]

That she wanted to keep the baby.

[lleeder]

Some girl I was dating told me that her grandmother was sick then we stopped talking to each other. I think we weren't even dating. She always would come to my place and I never met her friends or went to her house or picked her up anywhere. I think I was just her side guy. Which would have been fine if she let me in on it but she never did?

[GreatAmericanZero]

that he did, indeed, see a summer movie

[west milly Tom]

Yes, how about, "I'm okay to drive".

[MC Pee Pants]

That they were in fact just friends....ouch. Biz Markie, how could he capture my emotions years before.

[Foster]

can't say I caught her in the lie, but I'm sure ex was cheating on me right before we broke up. When I asked her if she was, before and even after the break up, she denied it.
Her sister kind of confirmed it though when she told me I didn't deserve to treated like that.

[CuntagiousChris]

That she loved me:flush:

sounds very familiar, until I found out that I was the other woman and his real gf was someone I worked with and was even friendly with.

She told me the same thing!!!!

Can't you read?

[CuntagiousChris]

Sorry i had already sent it when i saw your post

[Sinestro]

She told me that she only liked me as a friend. And I treated her as such.


All these years later, I find out that she was really into me and I was so blind to see it.


We're still friends though, even though our lives are different now who knows what coulda been.

[Knowledged_one]

Week before thanksgiving i was told that my job was secure

[JerseyRich]

"No I would never lie to you."

hahahaha.

Dumb bitch

Anyway.

I think my tales are well documented.

[RhinoinMN]

from my ex-good friend:
no, i'm not screwing your girlfriend.

I popped in on her when i suspected him to show up and he did.

Haven't spoken to him since. 10 years ago.

[MC Pee Pants]

What a bunch of cheated on zeros we are.....no offense.

[Friday]

not one lie from another person has ever been as powerful as the lies i have told myself.

[Foster]

none taken, its exactly how you feel when it happens.

Yes, it is incredibly hurtful when someone you loved lies to you. They're the ones who have deeper issues, though, and will never be happy. They're lying to you, their other partner, and themselves.

And so far I think I've been told all the same lies that everyone else has.

[Knowledged_one]

wow that is deeply profound i think this is the best response i have read

One that comes to mind has been told me a couple of times by different women I was having an affair with.
There we'd be, all in love and after a zesty session the gal wold get all serious and say there was something she had to tell me.
The stereo would get turned off and she'd say, "What would you say if I told you I was pregnant?"

That's happened twice to me by women who wanted to get me to ask them to marry them because I'd knocked them up, knowing I'd figure it was the right thing to do.
They wouldn't come out with a declarative sentence and say, "I'm pregnant and you're the father," but thy'd say they'd missed their period and they just had a feeling and that while she hadn't been tested, that a woman just knows these things....

As it turned out, neither one had missed her period and neither one was pregnant.
I'd like to say I handled it well, but then I'd be telling a big fat lie because both times I mumbled and bumbled and had no idea what the fuck to say...

It would just get worse because she'd say, "Well, you tell me you love me, right? You say i am everything to you, right? And we've been having unprotected sex for months now, don't you love me enough to have a baby with me?" and by then I'd just want to die....

[Heather 8]

That he was committed to me, and that he was ready to be married.

Well, actually, I guess that last wasn't a lie. The guy eloped with the girl he knocked up shortly after he proposed to me.

[Dougie Brootal]

''i love you and i always will. we will work this out because we are meant to be together.''


thanks for pouring salt on the wounds gvac.

[boosterp]

I thought I loved you but things have changed and I do not know anymore.

[MC Pee Pants]

Man this is depressing. I'll never lie to you guys. I can't get pregnant.

[Bob Impact]

Man was born with sin.

is that a statement or was that the lie?

[jauble]

Ah spited by love. A couple of years back a former chick of mine was in tennessee for school while I was in Indy. Had a bad feeling one night and left her a voice mail. No response for two days. We got to talking a week or two later and I asked her if she had fooled around with someone else and she said no. I knew it wasn't true but I went along with it. A week later she came to me crying that there was this singer that was playing her school (she was there for music) and he invited her to hang with him afterwards. No sex (apparently) but very close (according to her). We are friends now its been 8 years or so since we dated, but knowing that this was happening and being told that it didnt happen really hurt.

I havent ever told that story to anyone before so this is weird. Sorry if it doesnt make any sense.

It makes sense, women can't be trusted. Don't worry dude, look at all the posts, it happens to everyone.

No worries I hadn't recalled this memory in the last 8 years or so till I had to think about it.

[Mullenax]

A way older guy I thought was cute lied about being from a different high school to get closer to me, I didn't figure it out until later.
Seriously... he was like eight years older than me. Ugh.

[Aggie]

I swear I didn't sleep with your best friend. :thumbdown:

[MC Pee Pants]

I swear I didn't sleep with your best friend. :thumbdown:

What did you do in that case? Did you excommunicate both from your life?

[Aggie]

What did you do in that case? Did you excommunicate both from your life?

I was young. I forgave them both, they did it again. Then cut them off. It was horrible and I was an idiot. BUT I gained a lot of life experience from it.

[Furtherman]

Yep.

It makes sense. I had sort of a similar situation except I totally, absolutely never expected a thing because I trusted her unconditionally.

Similarly after breaking up with the first girl I was ever with, she told my sister she had a miscarriage.

Women who lie about pregnancies and miscarriages should be shot. You can't imagine how that feels to someone who has been there. Grrrrr :furious:

[Gvac]

Women who lie about pregnancies and miscarriages should be shot.

Agreed.

It's a particularly awful lie to tell someone you supposedly care for.

What kind of person does this? only the lowest of the low. Savage.

[CountryBob]

Old grilfriend said she was pregnant when i told her I was breaking up with her. I said i would do the right thing and marry her. Only a few months went by and she wasnt getting fatter so I confronted her and she fessed up. i didnt see her for a few weeks but went back with her anyway and her pissy attitude got worse over time. The end of this relationship came when I found out that she was screwing my wealthy Uncle behind my back. She would lie to me that she was going to babysit and would really be with him. Here's the kicker - she was 16, i was 17 and my uncle 58!

He had given her a new car (she said her Mom helped her get it), she had tons of new jewlery (said that she had been saving her $$ - but from him) and more new clothes than a closet could hold (all from him). It totally devestated me.

I got my revenge though - I beat the shit out of him when he was really drunk (he swears that he fell down a flight of stairs) and he dosent remember me doing it - which was sweet! He gave me $5000 for graduation!

And for her - she later moved to Charlotte and in 2 years had 2 children by two (different race) partners (never got married). Ha Ha - you stupid cunt!

i havent thought about this in years - thanks for the thread! I feel great now.

Holy crap she deserves her shitty life. (I feel sorry for her kids though.) That is so Jerry Springer slutty I can hardly believe it! I'm glad it didn't ruin you though. Good for you.

i hope the life experience was arson.

[PapaBear]

I do.

[Badinia]

My Dad told me it was my mother's affair that led to the end of their marriage. I didn't speak to her for 13 years.

Later, she told me that he said that her sleeping with another dude would be a turn-on for him, but then took it as an opportunity to ditch her without support.

My swingin' parents! Ick.

[Thebazile78]

(1) "We couldn't FIND you."

I only thought about this today because my friend is having a problem with one of her friends that reminded me of this particular instance from high school during the summer when both of my parents were out of work and my family's phone lines - both mine and the house line - were shut off because my dad couldn't pay the bill. Well, after the lines are switched back on, my dumbass "friend," Leslie, who is a waste of space if ever I met one, calls me. Her opening statement is the above "couldn't find (me)" ... while we both live in the same town, within walking distance (if you put your mind to it) or parental drop-off distance (if you had the presence of mind to ask your parents if you could possibly check on your friend because her phone was cut off) and she knew where I lived.

I am still angry about that one, despite the fact that I haven't spoken to the twat in over 10 years. (Although maybe it's not a lie, per se, but rather a lazy cunt with a penchant for melodrama.)

(2) "I'll pay you back."

When I was in college, there were CONSTANT disputes between my divorced parents about who would pay for my tuition. My mother, without ever communicating this to me, expected that I would contribute to the costs of my education. (And, had I known this, I would have started my own payment plan for my tuition and taken a second job on top of my work-study that never gave me enough hours to use up my grant money.) My father, on the other hand, expected my mother to contribute equally to the costs of tuition while I focused on doing well and passing all my classes.

When I was a sophomore, I was barred from registering for Spring classes because my Fall tuition showed a balance. I called my father who blamed my mother for non-payment. He suggested that I max-out my only active credit card to cover as much of the balance as I could ... and he would pay me back so I could pay the bill.

OK, fine. After maxing out the credit card I was TERRIFIED of using because of my experiences with collections agents when Dad was out of work, I went back to my dorm, shaking and sick to my stomach, and lay down.

Whenever I mentioned the money Dad owed me after that, I would get in trouble or he'd give me an excuse about how he couldn't pay me. This went on for a while as interest accrued on my balance ... finally, a collections agent (who actually acted like a human being, rather than an animal) called me and I started repaying the card, having finally owned up to the fact that Dad wasn't ever going to pay me back and I might as well start repayment now.

I no longer lend my father any money.

(3) "I'll take care of it."

Much like the above story about maxing out my credit card, I had an earlier credit card that I NEVER USED, but somehow it ended up being maxed out. I told the company that I never made the charges and I thought that maybe it was a case of identity theft or other fraud. At that time, the types of charges didn't meet the company's criteria for ID theft, so they insisted their hands were tied. OK, fine, but I wasn't paying for charges I didn't make. So, it went into collections, finally harassing my grandmother (you can tell them to stop that, btw, and I did) ... then I talked to Dad about it.

He said he'd take care of it. Being a "Daddy's Girl," I trusted he would.

Fast forward to 2003. Dad hadn't taken care of it. (I should have known.)

HOWEVER, this one has a better ending because while we're on the phone discussing a settlement the company was offering, I told Dad that he promised me that he'd take care of it, and he didn't, so he was going to have to take care of it. Yes, folks, I made my dad pay off my credit card statement, after accepting a settlement that messed with my credit for the next 7 years (woo-hoo! only one more year!) but I did get Dad to take responsibility for his promise.

I still don't lend my father any money and have repeatedly advised my siblings to do the same. (I've also advised them not to have him as a co-signer on any of their bank accounts. Ask Catherine about THAT.)

[reeshy]

I think that one of the biggest lies is when someone says to you "hey, how are you doing?"...or "can I help you".......the last thing they want to here is ...:"Yea,,,I'm not doing so well...or "No, I'm fine"....then life goes on......think about it!!!!!!
