Is it normal for me to lie?

Ok well it all started 11 moths ago when i started dating this incredible girl shes smart funny beautiful so sweet and for some crazy reason she liked me but she had an ex boyfriend who she still had feelings for and he really liked her too. He seemed to have a really interesting life and she seemed to like it so i started to lie about my past and things about myself. It quickly spiraled out of control and i felt horrible for doing this but i felt i needed to fight for her by any means necessary. Meanwhile her ex tried to frame me to get her to break up with me but it backfired and she found out he was lying about that and his past and present as well. She was so hurt by this i felt i could not tell her now even though it was killing me inside but a couple days later i came clean and told her everything. For some odd reason she diddnt break up with me and we are still dating, I still feel horrible for what i did and i will make it up to her now i know i never had to in the first place but what im wondering is was it normal for me to lie for love?

    Lies never accomplish anything. The key is if she wants to be with someone who has an interesting life and yours is not then why try to SHOVE THE SQUARE BLOCK INTO THE TRIANGLE HOLE? You got away clean on this one because she clearly she doesn't feel that way. If she did though you would have extended a relationship with no future. How fun would that be? Good job btw on manning up have fun.

    lying in a relationship is bad. but she accepted you for now just make sure to not do it again. and try to shower her with love so she knows you really do want to make it up to her.

    now lying for love on the other hand is not uncommon, as humans we are driven by emotions and love is arguably the most powerful one (i mean what do you think the majority ofshakespears play are all about?) i think your girlfriend understands that so she's going to forgive you this time. like i said just don't make a habit out of it :)
