Some of these I've heard from multiple people, some just from one. Some of these I knew were lies, some I truly believed with every fiber of my being until the very moment I learned the truth. Nearly all of these hurt unimaginably when I found out the truth.
1. I did it to protect you, not because I wanted to
I'm still waiting to hear the logic behind how emotionally hurting someone for your own gain is protecting them.
2. You’ll get over it
For the record, I didn't. It was pretty emotionally scarring.
3. No, I’m not mad
This is one of the ones I immediately knew was a lie.

4. I could never hate you
Well, that changed pretty quickly after we broke up. I wonder if you still hate me all these years later? Then again, I really don't care.
5. Everything will be okay
(I promise.)
6. No, I’m not hiding anything
Alright, I believe you... for now.
7. No, I’m not starting to like him. How could you think that?
Maybe I'm just being paranoid... or maybe you are.
8. I will never cheat on you
This one hurt the most.
9. I never meant to hurt you
What did you think would happen?
10. I love you
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the biggest lie I've ever been told.
