Wait, They Actually Said That?! 53 Wild Lies Partners Told That’ll Make You Go “Whaaat?”

He called to say he’d be late ‘cause he was at his BF’s house, dealing with a breakup and stuff. When I asked how long he was there, he said "a few hours." The funny part? His BF and girlfriend were actually chilling at our house! Turns out BF meant best friend, not boyfriend. Classic mix-up or a sneaky excuse?

For three whole years, he made fake online profiles pretending to be my exes, ‘reaching out’ to me to hook up. Whenever I told him about it, he acted like I was dirty for even talking to them. After we broke up, surprise - it was him all along! Oh, and he was a dad of four and apparently found my struggles funny during some rough medical days. What a peach.
OP’s silver lining: I managed to sneak past his lies and keep a solid bond with his kids and their mom. Take that, sneaky ex!

I caught my ex trying to hook up with men on Craigslist. When I asked, he said he was actually "finding gay men to rob." Yeah, I just... nope.

He swore up and down he didn’t eat my half of the pie. Spoiler: He absolutely did - then bought another one, ate half of that too, and left me the rest to make it look like nothing happened. The audacity!

He promised me a homemade cat tree - you know, the one he claimed to have made for his own cats. We even went shopping for supplies! But when the big day came, the tree looked sad and was downright dangerous with nails poking out. Turns out, the "handmade" cat trees were store-bought with price tags still on. Why lie about such a silly thing? Classic.
By the way, he lied about lots more stuff, like his finances and strange life insurance policies, but the cat tree? That's the symbol of all the madness.

He cheated the day before and kept asking why I was still hung up on the “past.”

idkifita: I know right? I got told “it’s in the past” about something that literally happened two hours ago.

He claimed he wasn’t gay or bi - just “feminine” because he grew up with women and no male role models. Meanwhile, he was hooking up with men throughout our entire relationship, including some of my close guy friends. Yeah, that’s a plot twist no one saw coming.

He told me a heroic story about beating up a man who was abusing his girlfriend, painting himself as a knight in shining armor. Later, I found out it was actually a violent road rage incident involving a metal pipe. Oh, and he had a record for blackmail and extortion. Charming, right? During the divorce, he even tried to blackmail me.

My high school boyfriend told me he had stage 3 cancer and only months to live so he wanted to spend his last days with me. At 14, I believed him. Spoiler: He cheated and left for another girl, and he’s still alive years later.
Azrai113: I think I dated him 20 years later! Mine claimed rectal cancer too and blamed that for sneaking off to another woman. Couldn't even make his own lies up!

My ex brought his 'childhood friend' into my life, and I thought she was just a pal. She hung out with my kids, came to family events, and even borrowed my dress. Meanwhile, he was cheating on me with her for years and even paying her rent and college fees. His whole family knew but didn’t say a word. I had to catch him playing detective style.
Now, I’m cautious whenever men mention their female friends. Lesson learned!

He got a job I helped him get but took forever to finish tasks. When I pressed, he admitted he’d been sneaking off to the casino and got so deep into debt he even stole money from the association we ran. He didn’t pay bills and lived in a bubble of lies.
After finding out, one brave soul kicked the gambler to the curb and vowed never to let anyone wreck their trust like that again.

My ex-fiance faked a heart attack when I confronted him about cheating. There I was, holding a joint bank statement from his affair partner, and he kept spinning the craziest lie that it was just a credit card application with the wrong name. It was like a bizarre Twilight Zone episode!

He said his fading interest wasn’t because of cheating with his dad’s nurse but because I’d "let myself go." Yep, he lost both of us and his little secret got out.

He pretended to be shocked when I found out we hadn’t paid 3 months of rent because he’d been pocketing the money for sports betting the whole time. That relationship? Over in a flash.
Pro tip: Sports betting is basically a volcano of financial and social disaster waiting to explode.

He faked a Scottish accent like a pro and said his family wasn’t alive. One disappointment after another!
Bunsandbeans1213: My soon-to-be-ex was faking a Jamaican accent during therapy sessions. Wild times.

He spun a tale of being a victim of police brutality for weeks, getting sympathy from everyone. The truth? He was arrested for refusing to leave his ex-wife’s house and being a giant 6’5" guy who wrestled with cops. Lucky for him, his nice-guy image stopped things from getting way uglier.

He lied about having another woman over the house at night while I was stuck in the hospital. Oh, and I could see them on the dog camera. Way to be subtle, huh?
