Relationships are built on trust.
As a result, when it becomes clear that your relationship was built on lies and deceit, then there is simply no hope of it surviving.
True, everyone's partner has likely told them a little white lie or two, which didn't end up having any sort of long-term effects on their relationships.
However, some lies or deceptions proved to be simply beyond the pail, often effectively ending relationships for good.
Redditor Wyschii was curious to hear the absolute worst lies anyone was ever told by their ex-partner, leading them to ask:
"What's the worst lie your ex has ever told you?"
Reverse Psychology?
"After my ex broke up with me, she messaged me to say she cheated on me."
'Told me that during our entirely relationship, I was just the sidepiece and she 'had a real man who was loving her'."
"A few hours later her best friend messaged me and said my ex is full of sh*t, loved me and was just making stuff up to hurt me."
"Still thankful for that friend to set things right."

How Low Can You Get?
"This is going back to the time of answering machines, but my ex told me she was having dinner after work with a friend whose mom had cancer."
"That night, before her shift even ended, the friend called to say her mom passed away."
"I didn’t say anything."
"When she came home, I asked her how her dinner went, and she said it was fine, nice to catch up, and she felt really bad about the mother, but they were positive things would get better."
"I bit my tongue the entire night, took every ounce of strength I had."
"She went off to work the next morning, and I moved her out."
"I brought all her sh*t to her parents' house and put it in their driveway."
"Took three trips, and by the 3rd one, she was home (early) before I got a chance to change the locks."
"It was almost a perfect execution."
"I got her moved out and also taken off my bank accounts all within 8 hours."- ADIDAS247
