I lied to my ex and told him I was in a new relationship

Question - (5 November 2012) 1 Answers - (Newest, 6 November 2012)
A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

My ex dumped me because said we didnt get on well enough to move in together after four years. If we disagreed on anything he left and finished things. This has happened several times this year! This was for really stupid things. He has a problem controlling his anger and can never discuss anything, just walks away and sulks for days on end.

After 3 months of no contact (he insisted on), he called asking what I had been up to. I lied and said I am in a new relationship and Im really happy and he said it wouldnt work because of the type of guy he sounds like. I said I had to go and cut the conversation short. He text its your choice but it wont work.

I could tell he was put out. Is it wrong to lie like this in order to make myself feel on top of the situation again. In the last couple of weeks I feel damned good, like I have turned a corner and after feeling so awful for so long couldnt care less what he thinks or says.

There is a tiny bit of me that feels bad for lying. I didnt expect to hear from him and just got carried away and before I knew it had fabricated a complete new relationship, a holiday abroad with this guy and how happy I am and how I hoped for marriage one day if it carried on being so great! I guess I have a conscience..... I dont want to speak to my ex again but I just feel bad because I feel good again. Does that make sense and I guess I am really against lying in any form....

He hurt you & its only natural that you wanted to get back at him a little. So let him think you are happy with someone else, he didn't treat you right. He has no right saying it won't work, it didn't work with him either.

Maybe you'll find this guy & it won't be a lie. Good luck.
