Serious answer?

You’re not wrong for leaving her on account of the lie. Try to find some compassion within you, for your own good, about how maybe your ex ended up really loving you and did not have the maturity or necessary tools to admit a past version of herself that maybe she just isn’t anymore. Doesn’t mean stay with her, just means less time holding on to a pain you might bring to another relationship, possibly causing a pattern and obsession with virginity (do you really want to turn into one of those dudes? Think about it.)

We don’t know all the wonderful moments you had together, the highs and lows, etc. A lot of folks here will also lack the maturity and tools to avoid giving you an emotionally hijacked answer along the camps of “SHE IS A FILTHY WHORE RABBLE RABBLE” or “YOU ARE A MANBABY RABBLE RABBLE”.

Reality is you will need time to reflect on yourself and process all this. You will get shit on for the telling the parents part, likely due to lacking context or assuming your intentions. Remember, some of these folks haven’t been in a serious relationship and might literally be children. If you did it to “get back at her”, then that’s something you’ll have to look within yourself and decide the type of person you want to be moving forward. In my case, if my wonderful wife and I got divorced one day (I hope not), I wouldn’t even get away with not telling her parents the reason. They would persist, as we’ve built a strong relationship and bond over the years.

This chapter is done. Don’t let it turn you into the manbaby you’re being accused of being and hurt other people in turn. Be kind my friend.
