And their answers were more jarring than I could ever prepare for.
Here are the biggest lies:
1.
“I married a pathological liar and narcissist.
Ultimately, found out he was in basic for 27 days and discharged for lying on his medical form.

2.
His story was that he went hiking in the mountains with hisbest friendand roommate.
While they were out, his best friend fell and broke his leg.
Stranded in the snow, my ex went to get help.
When they returned, his roommate had frozen to death.
Overcome by trauma and grief, he decided to come home to California to be close to family.
He began attending the local community college to fill gaps in transfer credits.
I felt so bad for him and actually teared up when he told me the story.
His sister looked at me and said, ‘What?
Hes never been to Colorado.'”
This is just one of the wild stories he told me.
It took me three years to find out what a pathological liar he was."

“He encouraged me to plan an elaborate vacation, his treat.
We went to Key West, no expense spared.
He had been living on my half of the rent money for months and not actually paying the rent.
From there, I found out many, many additional lies, all more psychotic than the last.
I broke up with him, he disappeared, and left me with thousands in unpaid rent/bills.

“My ex and I had been together for years before this happened.
I didnt think anything of it.
He tried to lie and say it was his other cousins baby and not his baby.
“I once dated a guy who would always talk about his two children.
He had told me he had both a son and a daughter.
He told me his daughter had died as a baby due to a heart condition.
He told me his son had passed away at the age of 5 in a car accident.
He had this elaborate story about how he witnessed the entire crash but couldnt save him in time.
I never brought it up again.
He lied about the whole thing.
He told hundreds of lies during our short relationship, but I think that one takes the cake.”
“We had just begun dating.
When I asked if he had ever been married, he said, ‘Nope.’
He seemed like he had his life figured out.
We got pretty serious pretty fast, and I would bring up the idea of moving in.
He also never expressed any interest in selling it, so it was very confusing.
He had no job, and he even lied about having a degree.
No surprise, but we broke up shortly after that.”
“My husband claimed he was attending a distance learning law school.
This was the same friend who barely graduated high school!
He would then take untimed, open-book tests at home!!!
Rest assured, he never completed his studies and went on to tell many other lies.”
“My husband told me he was going to a medical convention down in LA for the weekend.
Like, THE MOST FAMOUS hotel in San Diego.
The one they show as a prize on game shows.
So I called him at his meeting.
He actually tried to tell me I was wrong at first, but I pressed him.
His excuse for being in an entirely different city?
Needless to say, we are divorced now.
Sadly, that wasnt even the lie that did it, just one of his more egregious ones.
Id been pretty gaslit by that point.”
“My ex-boyfriend constantly lied during our relationship.
One of the most significant lies I discovered was regarding the mother of his children.
He told me they only dated casually for a few years and were never truly serious.
The child he claimed as his biological son was allegedly the product of her affair.”
He had a LinkedIn profile with that job listed.
He shared all these stories about his coworkers, and sometimes even brought over leftover food from their meetings.
Additionally, he lived in a condo with a friend of his.
When he wasn’t sleeping at my place, he was with other women.
He also racked up debts in my name and, like, a million other small lies.
“My older sister moved with her boyfriend to a new state so he could complete his PhD program.
At the time, she wasn’t attending school and was solely focused on her job.
“He was in this program, but he had no friends in it.
She broke up with him, moved out, and was absolutely horrified.
Weirdest thing I’ve ever heard.”
“I dated a pathological liar.
After we broke up, we stayed friends.
He also wanted to graduate early.
This was shocking to me.
I just didn’t understand why he thought that was necessary.
He tried to tell me that his first couple of paychecks went to union dues and uniforms.
