In your entire life, what is the worst lie anyone has ever told you? The one where when you found out the truth, you were never quite the same again?
 
The worst lie that i have ever been told was from my wife
when she said she loved me, whats worse i believed her and
its taken 7 years one and a half of them seperated for me
to learn the truth.
 
Hmmm.... I've been thinking about it for awhile now and I can't come up with a good answer to my own question! I can't think of a single lie that has affected me that much in the overall scheme of things. I think that's a good thing.
 
Cheyenne, i have thought about this for some time now, i can't think of one that has affected me either.
I guess when i have been lied to, i just let it go, i don't think i forget that the person has lied to me, but i don't dwell on it.
 
It was way back in high school with my first "love" after we had gone steady for about a year. One Sunday she told me she would not be around that night because she had to go to her grandmother's to help with some things. Later one of my buddies called to say that he saw my girl at a pizza place with another guy. I walked by the place and saw them.

It was the first time I had been lied to in a relationship and was made to realize that all things change. It hurt a lot back then.
 
When I was 9 the doctor that was setting my arm after I had broken it. He told me it wouldn't hurt when in actuality it hurt like I just broke it again.
To this day when my kids have to go thru anything like this, I tell my kids what they are facing and then I help them thru it.
 
the worst lie

i think anyone that has not had some experience of this is very very lucky, like all things in life your experiences make you what you are. the balance in life deals cards of many different colours and i believe some balance of their content is necessary.
 
I'm certain people have lied to me. I just never found out..
 
A Lie!

The worst lie is "the one that is told".

I think any lie is the worst. Especially if it comes from someone you know and trust. After someone tells a lie, I don't think I could ever find it in my heart, to trust that person again.
 
Actually, it's two....

I never thought about being with someone until I met you.

And

I Love you.
 
God that's sad KM.

I can't think of one myself. When I've been lied to I've alwasy just dealt with it, and never allowed myself to get too hurt. And I don't think anyone's truly deceived me in any sort of evil way. I suppose I've been lucky. But, then, I'm pretty careful about who I even respond to on an anonymous Internet Board, much less who I place my trust in.
 
Worse lie?? I believe it was the time where a girlfriend told me she loved me dearly. But was fucking one of my friends at the same time.
A few years back this is. I guess I'm not cut out for the whole gf/bf thing...or perhaps its the fact that I've just never met the right one. who knows??
 
Cheyenne, I don't think I've been lied to too the point that it had wrecked my life, it's made me more aware of who I talk to, or how I act around people, it's made me build walls and not let others in, but it hasn't affected my life.

Trust is a valued thing to me, and I think lieing to me to get my trust would be the worse of lies (in my eyes). That wouls affect me, so building walls around myself first is the best way for me to not let too many people in.
 
When the hacks who botched my father's aneurysm surgery as well as his post-op treatment told us, "We're doing everything we can." Maybe it wasn't a lie after all, because they certainly did everything they could to kill him. It took them seven months, but they finally succeeded.
 
That is a tough question........but I have a couple of answers to it........

1. When my best friend denied to my face something that I knew about, he was commiting fraud.......and I confronted him about it because it involved me in a way........was the straw that broke our friendship

2. A life changing lie, I do. She didn't and I did.
 
THE WORLD'S MOST STUPIDEST LIE.....

Made by then, President nominne George Bush......"READ MY LIPS...NO NEW TAXES." Well, he kept his promise and raised the current taxes.

I smell a great law suit.
 
THE LIE THAT FUCKED UP MY LIFE....AT THE TIME

When my Mex ex told me that she loved me but arranged to get me fired from my job and nearly become homeless just so that she could date the guy whom she's with now.
 
The worst lie that I remember came exactly one year ago this week. My dad had suffered from Cancer for 15 yrs. He was in the hospital and his doc told me that the Cancer wasn't back and that he'd probably be one of those people to die in a car wreck or something.
I told my dad those words. Two days later the MRI results came in and he had massive brain tumors.....he was given two weeks to two months to live. He died two months later. So, in essence, I was told and then repeated to another the worst lie ever told to me.
 
Ouch. Now I know I haven't had any lie affect me that much, not compared to many of you. The best answer I can come up with is being lied to at work. I attended the management meeting about how we were to calm remaining employees after the cuts were done. I got up in front of about 50 people who worked for me and my boss and told them all that their jobs were safe. No one was being cut in our department. There would be no major changes. A few hours later, my boss fired me as part of the downsizing. A whole department turned against him and the company, and I learned a great lesson in loyalty. Getting "downsized" is one of the best things that ever happened to me.
 
When I was in 6th grade my favorite aunt died..
My mother told me that she had died peacefully in her sleep, just like she always told everyone she wanted to.

Later on (few months or so) she was relating to my brother what actually happened. Don't like to say, but obviously it wasn't how she hoped. My mother had completely forgotten she had lied to me (as she typically doesn't) and just blurted it out over coffee.

Ugh, I was just as hurt as when I first found out she died!
 
The worst lie I have ever been told is that the first year after losing the most important person in your life is the worst. I don't know why I believed it, I think because I wanted to. My therapist never told me that, just people that I know. I know now that it will never be totally better, just different.
