I feel like these kinds of liars are sad egotists. Not because they made up a story, but they made up a story that painted them a hero, and the other person being an absolute buffoon. Even more frequent is the "dumb wife" or "idiot girlfriend" trope.

These made up stories like this is all they have in their depressing little lives.

I believe the technical term is "deflecting blame" or "being a cowardly jackass." They're pretty interchangable.
