Staggering Lies That Ruined Relationships

While people who are in love can put up with a lot, overlooking some things and simply gritting their teeth and bearing others, one thing that’s guaranteed to kill almost any relationship is if one partner finds out that the other has been lying to them about something important, particularly if it’s been a fairly open lie and other people are aware of it while they have been kept in the dark. This often occurs in relationships where men lie to their wives about everything from secret mistresses to hidden stashes of money. I got some tips from the wealthy men and wealthy women dating site MillionaireMatch.com in the section of “About Breakup or Ex” Here are some examples of staggering lies that have ruined relationships:

1. Secretly Married

One woman talked about the fact that her “single” partner was in reality a married father of three. A fact she discovered after some internet searching. She was lucky because she tackled the problem and satisfied her suspicions on her own before she got too deeply involved.

2. Unemployed

When woman have a boyfriend who was fired from his job earlier for stealing. He never said a word, nor attempted to explain why he’d done what he had. He just left home and pretended to go to work every day like he had in the past. She was alerted to the situation when their roommate attempted to use her printer and it was jammed. Upon pulling the paper causing the problem free she then told her friend. When confronted the boyfriend confessed the truth. Fact was he hadn’t been working for weeks.

3. Affair

Wealthy men or not, this one is a sure relationship destroyer. A woman found out her boyfriend was cheating on her while studying abroad. She already suspected, but seeing a picture of her boyfriend and his secret lover together on Facebook confirmed it. Once confronted, he told her he wanted to remain friends with the other woman, but would end the affair. She wisely said “no deal.”

4. Finances

Yet another woman found out her husband had been lying about their personal finances. He hadn’t in fact paid the mortgage every month as he claimed, nor did he pay the utility bills. Her first clue was when their house was foreclosed on. Then the utilities were being turned off regularly, and collection agencies began coming to the house. She learned that her husband had a gambling problem, and lied about the debts he owed.

5. Lied about Age

One woman had a boyfriend who lied about his for an incredible three years. He claimed to be twenty five to her seventeen, then turned out to actually be over thirty. Although she was loath to leave him for a long time because of how badly he had manipulated her, she finally realized she could not trust him and did so.

6. Lied about Living At Home

There was a woman who had long-distance relationship with her ex-boyfriend. He never confessed that while she believed him to be an independent and self-reliant person, he was in fact, still living with his sister and mother. That alone wouldn’t have finished the relationship. It was the huge lie behind it which didn’t come to light until she was holding plane tickets to fly out and see him, after nine months of never guessing the truth.

7. Lied about Who He Really Was

This particular woman didn’t leave her ex because of one lie. This guy really had a con going. He didn’t lie about his legal identity, but rather his personality and who he was morally, etc. He portrayed himself as a liberal, pretty easy going fellow when in fact the opposite was true. This woman was unfortunate enough to have really fallen in love before realizing the truth.

8. He Pretended Not to Know His Other Lover

This cad had a girlfriend on the side with whom he engaged in sex right in the car of the woman he was living with. Then when they met up in the supermarket, he had the nerve to deny having ever met the woman.

9. Lied That He Was Norwegian

In a lie to top all lies everywhere, this fellow passed himself off as Norwegian, saying he was born and raised there until the age of fourteen. He spoke Norwegian like a true Norwegian would, had Norwegian friends who were also fooled by his lie, and even claimed to have served in that country’s army.

10. He Never Told the Truth about Anything

This guy lied about his entire life. Who raised him, his mother, his whole life. It was so bad that his own family wouldn’t have anything to do with him because he was a pathological liar. He told his girlfriend he had cancer and she actually went to the hospital with him for treatment. And so it goes. It all serves to prove that it’s a dangerous world out there and you can’t be careful enough.
