Of course he lied. It’s a given. No one on here thought otherwise. But if you don’t pursue it legally, it’s probably wise to put in the same pile of lessons on why and how you should avoid men like him in the future. This is over. His dishonesty is just yet another thing. But he was dishonest about lots of things before so that’s not anything new either. So lesson learned.

Arguing with him that he is wrong serves no purpose. He’s not going to admit it. So good riddance. Be done
