I asked why, and he said family issues.I told him I hope eveythings ok and he responded with "my parents are getting divorced...sorry I sprung that on you had to tell someone". As far as I know, only a few others were told. A few days ago, he told me his parents changed their minds and weren't getting divorced. By the way, when he originally said his parents were getting divorced, he said he wasn't surprised. I've never heard of parents "changing their minds" especially after putting their kids through that. And recently he started acting differently. He has started cursing more, and makes a joke out of everything, which i heard some people use as a tool to cope. He also admitted out of nowhere that he really liked my friend and asked her out. She said no, she isn't allowed to date until she is 16, its in her religion. He was begging her. And she showed me the texts...it was borderline creepy. Is it possible he lie about his parents not getting divorced because he doesn't know how to deal with it?

I think he's lying mostly because I thought most parents would make sure they want to be divorced before putting their kids through that. I am just going to continue to be there for him.

 Its hard to tell what is going on with this guy, but whatever it is it sounds like he is struggling to cope with things. Off course it is possible he lied but I guess nobody knows really what is going on except for him. Try and be there for him as a friend that's all you can do. Make sure he knows you are there for him if he needs a friend.

 It's possible he's lyiing.
It's also possible that his parents THOUGHT they would get divorced and after MORE talking they are going to try to make the marriage work.
