The lie stems from the person that whispered poisonous rumors into young, high school Melinda's ear, which subsequently caused her to stop trusting Connor as much and sabotaged their relationship. Though in order for such a lie to work, she had to be either insecure in her relationship or there was a faint grain of truth in the lie.<br/><br/>Melinda would not share that information with anyone so the family would not know the reason why Connor and Melinda broke up. The only thing the family would know is that their relationship was unpredictably rocky before Connor disappeared for years. It took her a while to get over it, or so she thought, but I think it's obvious that she wants to bash his skull in right now.<br/><br/>I think that about clarifies it. :)
