So you lied to him and he broke up with you because he thought it was crucial and you thought it was small.

First lesson to learn: Never lie to a guy. There’s worse than a woman who cheats: A lying one. And if you’re going to lie because it’s necessary, make sure it’s a bulletproof one.
Second lesson to learn: Learn to be independent. We’re living in a difficult economic climate, and the last thing a sensible man would want is a woman who is over-dependent on him.
Third lesson to learn: Remember that you are a woman, and men will be chasing after you for most of your life (provided that you’re taking care of yourself physically and emotionally). So, I’m sure someone else will enter your life in near future if you outgrow your previous let-downs and current expectations.

Peace
