Why does my ex still lie to me? My ex-boyfriend and I have not been together for about a year,we didn’t breakup, I guess you could say we grew apart. He still calls me, the calls aren’t very frequent. I asked him if he had a girlfriend and he said “no” very clearly. But I know he really does have a girlfriend (and she not that attractive). He called me about a week ago, gave me his cell number and told me to text his phone. I did text him but he has yet to text me back. He is really starting to confuse me…does he still have feelings for me? Why does he lie about having a girlfriend? What should I do?
Do you still have feelings for him? In typical guy fashion he’s keeping his options open. Without knowing how long you were together and the depth of your relationship I really can’t tell you what to do. But I would say that past actions are an indication of future behavior and by his actions he doesn’t sound like serious relationship material.

I agree that he is wanting to keep his options open. I ended it with my ex over two years ago. We did not live together. He immediately grabbed the first thing he could find (which he admitted) and moved her in. I do not allow him to come to my house and speak to him rarely. I was told by someone that he was going to get married. He was driving in my neighborhood about two weeks ago while I was out walking the dog. He stopped and I, point blank, asked him if he was married because I thought maybe he had already done so…..he was wearing a ring……he told me “no”, that he was not married and said, “You know me, I’m not getting married.”(Now, understand, this was fine with me, I didn’t want to get married, either). I still don’t know the purpose of the ring as his dad told me he was getting married, not had gotten married….and then he added, “maybe he won’t”…….so, why do exes lie?…..well, you have to look at what they are lying about? This guy, was caught in a lie, and that was why I ended it….as to this lie, during the dog walk, I agree with the other opinion, he, in his inflated ego, believes he is leaving his options open……that he might “want” to reconcile with me………..not going to happen.
