Why the lie?

If the title is misleading, sorry. Today I just found out that my ex-girlfriend had broken up with me not because she was worried about med school and the long distance thing, but because she had started seeing a guy at home two weeks before we had broken up. I feel horribly betrayed. I know it would have been hard anyways, but the lie just kills me. I have had to break news like this to a friend before, and while it isn't easy, it's the right thing to do.

Besides that, although it sounds pretty pathetic, she was my first girlfriend and even worse my first kiss. Yes I'm 22, it's depressing to say that, but it's true. To have my first relationship end like this is just wrecking me right now. The wierd part is that I didn't feel bad about it until I found out about the 'cheating' thing.

My question is this: why lie to me? To make the let down easier on me? Because no, the let down is much worse to find out I have been lied to by someone I truly trusted. My personal opinion is that this let down is easier for her, to fake herself into thinking she wasn't hurting me.
