And guess what? The “sister” who came online to mourn with us was actually her, pretending again.
Apparently, when things got real, and I wanted to meet up, she freaked out and told her dad, who then came up with the plan to fake her death. We confronted her, and she eventually confessed to everything.
- After we broke up, she called to tell me she was pregnant and needed $600 to end it. I did the math and realized it was impossible for me to be the father.
I told her I wanted to keep the baby and that I’d be happy to take full custody.I even offered that she could terminate her parental rights and wouldn’t have to pay child support—I’d raise the child as a single dad. A week later, she “miscarried”.
- My ex-fiancée used my potentially fatal medical issues as her excuse for why she cheated and was leaving me, though at the time of the breakup conversation, I was unaware of the cheating.
She told me she couldn’t sit there and watch me suffer in pain, feel helpless, and eventually watch me die.
I empathized with her reasoning and didn’t put up much of a fight because I was already feeling immense guilt over what she was going through. I had even been stopping myself from ending the relationship, just so she wouldn’t have to be there for the worst of it. My best friend, however, told me I owed it to her to give her the choice, so I didn’t break things off.A few months later, she left me.
Within 36 hours of the breakup, she posted a photo of herself cuddling with another guy on a social media account she didn’t know I had access to. That’s when everything came to light. During our conversation about the photo, she admitted that for the previous six months, all the Monday nights she had supposedly been spending at her sister’s (they’re really close, so I didn’t question it) were actually spent with the other guy.
She had just used my health as an excuse to end the relationship without looking like the bad guy.I knew people could be manipulative, but that was an entirely new level for me.
- She told me she loved me and could see us living together and raising a family. Then, exactly 11 months and a week before my birthday, she informed me that our relationship was just a way to negate her loneliness until her ex-girlfriend would take her back.
- She cleaned out my bank account, took half my shirts, my stereo, all my music, all the dishes, the food from the fridge, and my bed to run off with her new boyfriend I didn’t know about—all in the span of about three hours. She didn’t leave a Dear John note, and had a friend stop by that night to break up with me on her behalf.
I learned never, ever to have a joint checking account with a girlfriend, for any reason.
- She told me my forgotten wallet had been stolen by someone who came to her house.
It turns out she stole the cash herself and threw the rest away because it was “evidence”—bank cards, ID cards, pictures of family and friends, and everything else. It’s safe to say the relationship did not survive this incident.
- My girlfriend of three years broke up with me because she was cheating on me with my roommate and best friend.
She didn’t tell me this during the breakup conversation (she just said, “I love you, but I’m not in love with you”), so I went back to my dorm room and cried on my roommate’s shoulder about being dumped.
The next morning, I woke up to a text from her asking to talk. I went to meet her, and she told me about my roommate. Furious, I left that conversation and went back to my room, only to find out he had moved out while I was having the rug pulled out from under me for the second time.
- After my ex broke up with me, she messaged me to confess she had cheated on me. She told me that during our entire relationship, I was just the sidepiece and that she “had a real man who was loving her.”
A few hours later, her best friend messaged me to say my ex was full of it, actually loved me, and was just making stuff up to hurt me. I’m still thankful to that friend for setting things right.
- My ex told me she was allergic to cats, but it turns out she just didn’t want me to get one. I found out when she got a kitten right after we broke up.
- She told me she was pregnant when we were 19.
A month later, she said she lost the baby. Not long after, when I broke up with her, she admitted she had lied about the pregnancy to see if I still wanted to be with her.
I ended the relationship anyway. She eventually got married and had kids later on.To this day, I never figured out what part of that sequence of events was actually the lie.
- An ex of mine cheated on me in the bathroom down the hall from my bedroom on New Year’s Eve. Two weeks later, I found out that she had hidden the fact that she had a child (who a friend was raising) for over nine months.
