should i feel bad about lying?

[dramatic_monkey]

I initially broke up with my ex bf a week ago. I told him the truth then which is that we aren't compatible, have no common intrests, fight all the time and make each other cry and just aren't right.
He DID NOT take that well. After this he harassed me contantly, called me 24/7, left many messages on whatsapp, facebook, kik etc. (everytime I blocked him he made a new acc.

This is what he'd say "hey whore better unblock me you dirty slut, im gonna get my revenge you *****, go die, ******* slut ill show you, better unblock me whore, unblock me on everything immediately, you take me back now you disgusting cold slut, you're such a psycho, no wonder no one likes you, if you don't take me back ill send your nudes to everyone, you'll see, just wait, TAKE ME BACK NOW YOU *****, ill destroy you, ill get my revenge, You take me back now, OBEY ME WOMAN!" and on and on and on... I kept trying to calm him down but it didn't work. he kept threatening me and insulting me. I started to get really scared so I made up a lie about how my parents took me to see a psychologist and she diagnosed me as having this *insert random mental illness* and told me I needed treatment for six months and in order for it to work I had to stop talking to him. And I told him maybe we can talk in six months (just to calm him down so he doesnt spread my nudes) anyway after some hardcore research and convincing he finally believed me and said I hope you get better soon, should i feel bad?

You know what? Nobody is going to care about those pictures. It's certainly no reason for you to keep putting yourself through that garbage.

Take all that stuff you got from him, screencap it, and put it on facebook for everyone else to see.

You should not feel bad. This guy is treating you like garbage. The next time he talks to you that way tell him to f-off, and if if he tries something you will have him arrested.

Yes, d'monk, you should always feel guilty about lying. If not, all of your Mom's efforts are a waste. Honesty is the best policy.

I think he is the one with the mental illness. The lie is ok, because based off of those texts, he seems dangerous. I think you made the smart choice, because your safety seems to be involved as well. He is saying I hope you get better soon because he is tricking you. I would for sure leave him, if I were you. He sounds like if that temper gets out of control, harm onto you could be done. So be careful, and do not feel bad for tricking him. I think its for your own benefit. Since you are a girl, can you please answer mine?

do not go around posting his stuff everywhere like the person said in the other response, that's just plain immature.
what I never understood is how a guy could beg a girl to take him back. wouldn't it not even be love then? if he forces her to be with him, that is not true love. maybe he loves her, but she doesn't love him. you being the "her" and him being the guy.
maybe instead of lying to him, which does not make it right, you could just tell him something like;
"you know even if I did take you back, would you really want that? because I don't love you anymore (or you could say you don't love him romantically to tone it down), so it wouldn't be real anyways, is that what you want? to spend your life with somebody that doesn't care for you how you want them to? to be wasting your time on someone that doesn't even want you around? feelings cant be forced"
you could also apologize for lying.
also if he did attempt to spread your picture(s) at all, you could take legal action.

You should show them to your parents and other people who love you. This guy sounds dangerous. I think it is okay that you told him a lie because your safety is at stake.

Yes you should. Lying isn't a good thing.
