Why did he lie?

luvhurts
By luvhurts

My brief relationship with a guy ended up rather sadly. Our last time together was the best time we had, just before he said he'll be gone for a week on a business trip.

He dropped me home, said he'll see me when he gets back; even asked me to be a good girl while he's away.

A couple of days later, I began to worry as I didnt hear from him. Sent him a message...no reply so I called him up. I was surprised that the mobile phone rang locally (usually beeps when outside Doha). Called him twice, no pick up. As my luck would have it, I bumped into some of his friends and on a quick chat, learned he was out with them on Thursday nite!

I went home feeling upset and confused. I dont understand why he had to lie and fabricate stories like going away on a business trip for a few days, when he could have told me what's goin on. There was no indication that he was ending our relationship, in fact he was perfect...

More than anything else, I'm so disappointed at how he chose to end it - with lies. In a few weeks he'll be leaving for good, he could have come out clean and we could part as friends. Pity I thought he was a very honest man...

What could be his reason to lie?

If you keep going on like this... i mean thinking about him and suffering, you will loose. If you continue to suffer, that looser will win and you will be the looser.

So just try to overcome from this situation as soon as possible. show that person that you can live successfully without him and that he missed a very good gl like you.

I know its easy to say than doing it. But u got to do it....

The more u think about this its gonna make u feel worse the best thing to do is to distract urself and to try and forget whats happening.. Theres always someone for everyone... Just try not to give urself up so completely to anyone before you know wht there intentions are....

I am NOT bothered about it, i just wanna share my experience with other QL members. Why bother posting ur comment, anyway? Its clear u dont really have anything to say...

On the other hand I did this to a guy before. Told him I was leaving for Uni a week before I actually did because I was bored of him and didn't want to cause a big scene just wanted him out of my life.

Well im bit confused. why cant you ask directly from your bf??? I mean the people in QL are only predicting things. They cant say exactly why he has done such a thing...

So, if you think u have done nothing wrong to him, just go and ask from him directly. He might.. i say he might have a good reason for his act. Get to know the reason from him directly....

since he took you out for diner and gave you a memorable evening then i guess this guy is seeking one of two scenarios here:

1- Perfect closure for things. Just so that he can look back and think to himself, i sure ended things on good terms.

2- He has something planned for you and wants to catch you totally off guard. since he hasn't left the country yet and since you two have many common friends together.

either way, my advise to you is do not look back and do no feel sorry for yourself. If its meant to be then it will happen, if not, just be happy that you loved someone and was loved in return.

i know how you feel...give the guy a space...there's always a reason for everything...maybe during your dinner date he saw something in you... again....did change his mind and think things over again...if you luv somebody set it free..if it comes back..it's for you ...if not...well...that's how relationship is....i agree with fooldays....if a man wants you, nothing can keep him away...

if he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.....sorry.... just set it free........

He did not 'pack & leave'. He took me out to a lovely dinner, had great time coz he said he's goin for a business trip the next day; with a promise to see me when he gets back. A lying b****rd, I say! Went thru all the troubles of fabricating stories when he didnt hav to coz we both know he's leaving for good in a few weeks.

He just cannot break it with you face to face! I will not take side but in reality its really difficult to admit that "we fallen out of love" and maybe he is just taking time to think how he will tell it.

You'll get through this, I am pretty sure its his lost not yours!

The mere fact that he did something like that is an indication that he is not man enough. A man like him is a complete loser. Instead of asking yourself why he lied, tell yourself that he doesn’t deserve you.

For now, stay calm, keep smiling, and look at the positive side of life. You have to be thankful because your misery has ended before it starts.

God bless.

Maybe he hates confrontation. I guess he couldn't cope with having to articulate his feelings and suffer the consequences i.e. tears. I've found this reluctance 'to talk' the most frustrating thing about some of the men I've dated.

Well it's sad that you had to face such a situation. Whatever it is lets face it that there are people like this in society. True friendship/love is quite rare. but as i always say this to myself. look at the bright side of everything. you are too good for him.. totally agree with river-rat. there is someone out there who you will find... just have to be patient for it to happen. sorry to say but DISAGREE with DaRude...

I have always wondered how you define love. Is falling in love really love or just sexual attraction. It can't really be love because it never lasts (at least not at that intensity). I read a book once called "The road less travelled" which attempts to define love. Quite interesting, but whatever way you look at it, love does hurt!

Dont let this one incident ever make you stop loving people. The day you stop loving life, you might as well as give up.

It's called character. And the guy doesn't have it.

Some guys just don't have the decency to do the right thing. Sad fact of the matter in these relationships is that there is always one person more into it than the other, and gets hurt more. Count yourself lucky you got out when u did and that u are a much better person than he is - would you like to spend the rest of your life, have kids with a deceitful bastard like that. Not a chance! decide what it is u want in a partner and be realistic about where u are going to meet that type of person. Bets are on that it won't be in a nightclub so find a sporting, religious or something else u are interested in group and u are already halfway to finding the right person. Good luck and be strong - there is someone fab out there just waiting for you!!!
