so i recently moved 2 1/2 hours away from my hometown to go to college, and after I got here me and a guy back home started dating. I'm practically the baggage queen, and he knew this going into it. Every 2 or so weeks I'd drive back home and spend the night with him, engage in some debauchery and cuddling, and then go back in the morning. After a month, he tells me he loves me(he says it first, pretty much out of the blue, and we were already having sex so it wasn't like it needed to happen to get me naked). And I trust this guy enough to believe him. Today, after 2 1/2 months of being together, he breaks up with me, starting with "All it was to me was sex and drinking with you and that's all I ever wanted it to be" and ending with everything he ever said, including him telling me he loved me, was purely for my benefit. He liked the fact that he "made me happy" but couldn't "lie about how he felt anymore." 

So here's my morality question for everyone. Can lying about feelings for another person be justified if you know it will take them out of there depression? And if so, is telling them the blunt truth the best way to go if you feel morally obligated to come clean?

In a relationship, boyfriend breaks up with me, ending with everything that he ever said, including him saying he loved me. Is lying about feelings for someone else justified if you know it will take them out of there

Is it okay to say "I love you" to someone and not mean it if you know it's what they want to hear?
