Why would my bf lie about being in a relationship with a girl for 3 years? We were discussing past relationships and he said he had been in a relationship with this girl for 3 years. He told me her full name. And a few months after we talked about this, I got curious and had a few reasons to suspect he was lieing. So I found her on his facebook and added her as a friend and asked her and she said they never ever dated or hooked up, neverless had a relationship for 3 years! they were just friends.

So why would he make this up?

Its not like I have been in a long lasting r/ship (my longest was 8 months) so i doubt he would of felt he needed to pretend he had a long lasting relationship in his past.

thanks for all your replies.

I dont think the "ex gf" was lieing, because I looked through their past comments on each others profiles, and the way they are written, and the frequency of them dont seem like they were very close, neverless in a r/ship for 3 years together. The comments def make it sound like just a friendship. But he always goes on about her, and how she was the perfect gf, there was no issues in there r/ship, apart from the fact that she had to move away, and thats why they apparantly broke up.

Hmm weird, but you guys are prob right that he was embarrased of his experience. I dont think i will question him about it, because yeah that is probably it and he will probably get annoyed at me for looking into it.

steph20389 agony auntmaybe your boyfriend is insecure with the fact that you have had more past relationships than him and are therefore more experienced? personaly i wouldn't question him about it incase he accuses you of snooping about behind his back, my boyfriend's longest relationship before me was 3 or 4 months and he is my first relationship and i was quite ashamed and embarrased to tell him that to start off with so maybe that may be the case with your boyfriend.

hope that helps

i agree with shna, some people see a lack of a serious relationship off putting when dating someone, some BS about they don't know how to take things seriously. some people say things like that to make out that they can do long term relationships, so it may be his way of saying "look, you can trust me, im here for the long haul"

again, the girl could be lying, depending on how the break up went, if it was bad then she could deny all aknowledgement of said relationship, but 3 years is a long time so i would doubt that one. even with my exes that i hate i wouldn't deny being with them.

it's best to be honest and ask him about it. or ask him how the break up between them went.

but talking to him is the only option if you want to find out the truth. or just leave it be and not get worried about it.
