What's the most horrible...

[Goofy_Disney_Dad]

...lie that anyone has ever told you?

 

[aristocatz]

When I was in high school, I had a "friend" who was a chronic liar-to the extent where it was clearly a mental issue. She told us that her dad physically & sexually abused her. She would come to us crying all the time. We felt terrible for her. A few nights before I left for college, she came to me hysterical that her dad attacked her again & she needed to leave town to stay with her Aunt in another state. I gave her $300 (from my college money that I worked summers to build up) so she could get away. When I got to college, my friends and I found out she took that money & left out of state......to have a weekend getaway with her boyfriend. The whole thing was a lie. During Christmas break, we went to her boyfriend's apartment (she had moved in) to confront her & get my money back, but she refused to answer the door. Never saw her again. I felt really dumb and hurt back then, as I thought we were close friends. She was so believable in her lies.

There were many but one of the worst was when my husband at the time (ex now) told me that there MUST BE a mistake with the phone bill. There's no way the phone sex number called from our phone while I was in the hospital after giving birth to our daughter really was called.

Yeah, it was...

It's time for you to start earning more money around here. If you can save me $15-20,000 a year in freight, I have no problem splitting that with you.

Mine was when my first wife said "I do" to the question "Do you promise to love, honor and forsake all others?". That lie hurt long term...

I hate that most liars appear believable. Especially under those kind of circumstances.

Hope you didn't trust him after that.

One that sticks out in my mind mainly because it was my mother and I was so young. (around 9 or 10) She told me our dog drank floor cleaner and died. I was destroyed. Years later she mentions something about the woman she had given the dog to.

Me:"What do you mean? You mean she wasn't dead? You gave her away? You told me she died!"

Mom:"Oh yeah I forgot about that."

Me:"Why would you do that? Why would you lie to me?"

Mom:"Well we needed to get rid of her and I knew if I told you I gave her away you'd want to get her back."

Me:"No I wouldn't have! I can't believe you let me believe she died!"

What a psycho!!

No further than I could throw him - and he's a heavy guy.

From a friend who said her husband was physically abussive and was cheating on her. Turns out she was the cheater who was trying to make him look bad.

 

[lizabu]

My ex-SIL told everyone she had cancer and she would get me to babysit her kids while she got pretend chemo

 

[MataHari22]

My ex husband told a lot of horrible lies. The top 3:

3. Borrowing $20k behind my back and not telling me.

2. That he was not involved with another woman.

1. That he didn't know what happened to my cat that went missing. He ran over it, and killed it.

When I left him, you cannot even imagine the sack of lies I found out. Those, are tied for most horrible for me.

 

[hereyago]

No,I'm not cheating on you said my then husband.

Also a favorite: Also said by then husband well still legally but almost reconciled: oh ex gf knows what kind of car seat I got our baby(while I was in hospital having her) becauss I saw her in store, even though we lived a few.cities away. Yea, she met him at at a nearby restuarant then off.to the.store,.classy.
Yea cool story bro.

A couple years ago, an old friend and i.got back in touch,knew her well thought i knew her since.5th.grade. She came back home and we had another friend come here as well.
She ended up lying pretty much everything out of her mouth. If you are going to.lie dont put stuff on fb, then it all unraveled, her being abused by her husband. She lied to our other.friend about me, it was crazy.

My older brother started dating my best friend while we were all in college. He was very jealous and possessive person. When she would come over to see me, he wanted her to only spend time with him.

She and I started arguing and were not seeing eye to eye on a lot of things. Ultimately, He told her that I was really angry at me and did not want to speak to her. He told me that she was really angry at me and did not want to speak to me.

We did not speak to each other for about 10 years.

He was a real peach...

Sounds like quite a few ex's and estranged family will make this list. It's amazing the pain some are willing to cause others without a second thought.

 

[Grmnshplvr]

my best friends mother told me my best friend's father had died years ago...I never met him, and she never mentioned him so I didn't make much of it. Some how a few months later it came up in conversation and I mentioned her dad dying, she looked at me like I had three heads, she said "did my mother tell you that?" I said yes...she said after her dad cheated on her mom and left her for another woman she started telling everyone that he was dead.

 

[Tinkerdreams]

It's truly horrible when someone lies about you and to you. I've had it occur with my former husband, his sister and now because of those lies, my children believe them and hold grudges against me.

No amount of conversation or proof will ever dispel these and they just get worse. The odd thing is that only those 4 people believe their own lies - no one else does - and I'm speaking of the 4 other siblings on former husbands side of the family and all his nieces, nephews and spouses.

They have divided the family up so much, it truly is a shame - talk about disfunction.

Does "I love you" count?

Does "I love you" count?

Yep. Been there, done that.
