What's the "best" lie they ever told you?

I'm new so hello all, just wrote an intro thread as well. Thought this could be sorta therapeutic.

I think the best lie/story my BF told me while using (percs) was that there were hundreds of dollars missing because he was saving up to buy me an engagement ring and propose, and he can't even save money because I'm always up his ass. He is only trying to do something nice for me and I'm ruining it by asking questions. He went on and on until I gave in and pretended like I felt bad for questioning him and believed his story (just to end the conversation). It was hell. He was still in major denial at that point that he had relapsed. I mentioned that story to him recently and he felt really bad about it now that he's not using. He also admitted that he doesn't at all remember ever telling me that which scared him I think. He was pretty clearly messed up when he told me that story/lie and I think he wasn't able to keep track of his lies anyway. But that was a pretty "good" manipulation on his part and likely the most memorable lie I was told.

That was not a fair lie, but they never are.

I am not sure this is exactly a lie, but here goes.

When my now XAH was getting to his worst, he got into porn and took it to texting with unknown prostitutes. His new iPhone beeped, and he asked me to figure out what it was doing, so I looked at it and found multiple porn texts from one of these women and I must have said something horrified.

He grabbed the phone out of my hand and yelled "You have no right to access my private phone. This is a gross violation of my right to privacy. So you can't use anything you find on that phone against me because it is fruit of the poisoned tree".

I told myself lots of lies about my ABF...the 1st was that he was capable of telling the truth...the 2nd was that I had to believe him and the 3rd was there was something I could do about any of it.

My husband told me that he was stuck at his boss's house after work because his boss's father in law had just passed away and him and his wife were making arrangements. The man was NOT dead. He used this excuse to buy time while he was waiting on pills. That's when I figured out not to ever believe another word out of his mouth.

By the way, he blamed me for being nosy when I called his boss to give my condolences because the father in law was terminally ill. His boss had NO idea what I was talking about. Talk about feeling stupid.

Biggest lie he told: that he was doing fine and he'd tell me if he ever got to feeling the need to use.
Biggest lie I ever told: I love you, forgive you and am trying my best in this relationship.

I suspect we both told these lies on a number of occasions. Good riddance.

He was going out with his friends from work to go night fishing. Yes, night fishing!! I didn't believe him!!
Worst lie I ever said was "Yes, of course I believe you". I didn't believe one word that came out of his mouth after I suspected/knew of his relapse. HAHA... believe him. LOL

How do I chose which lie was the "best" lie? They were all absolutely ridiculous! I have to laugh about them now because crying is just too exhausting. Still, I can't choose just one.

Stupid/Ridiculous/Moronic lies he has told:

I found my husband passed out in our bed with a bowl of soggy cereal, a burnt spoon full of pill residue, and a syringe loaded with dope. He said that he found the stuff behind the dryer and planned on throwing it away but decided to eat his cereal first, then was so tired from working all day that he just fell asleep. Too bad the garbage can is in the same room as the dryer, freaking idiot! And what kind of sick person can eat something with that dirty crap sitting right next to him? So gross. And my response to that stupid lie was grabbing the syringe, pushing the plunger and spraying all of his precious dope in his face. That was the night I threw him out of the house.

Here's another...
Me: "Hey hon, where are you?"
Him: "Eating with Jay. We watched the fight then grabbed a bite to eat."
Me: "Really? What restaurant? Where is it?"
Him: "I forgot the name. It's on West Esplanade." (which is only 20 or so minutes from our house.)
Me: "You sure about that?"
Him: "Yes."
Me: "West Esplanade, huh?"
Him: "Yes. That's where I am."
Me: "No you aren't you ****ing liar!"
Him: "Yes I am! Why don't you believe me?!"
Me: "Because you are too stupid to realize that I have been tracking your phone for the past hour. You are in downtown New Orleans. And you can stay there."
Him: "I said I was about to be on West Esplanade. We were leaving the restaurant in New Orleans."
Me: Click. Doors locked. Windows locked. Hubby slept in the shed.

Best lie I ever told:

I suspected that my husband had gotten his pain pills filled a few days early, call it a hunch, lol. I wasn't sure though, so I asked him and he said he hadn't gotten them filled. I then told him that he was lying because I called the pharmacy and they told me he got the prescription filled. He was furious and told me that it was illegal for them to give me that information, so I told him it is illegal for him to be so freakin stupid because he just ratted himself out. Haha, I learned from the best!
