LizzieZ Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) Ok, that's rather embarrassing. I've been with my bf for about 1,5 year, and known him for 2 years. In the beginning of our relationship I wanted to seem more independent and told him that I lived on my own since I was 16. Which is partly true, I moved out from my parents' when I was 16 to study in a different city, but after I graduated I got _really_ depressed, couldn't affort to pay for my own place and had to live at my parents' again for 1,5 year. Then I found a job and moved to a different country where I met my bf. It really bothers me, I want to come clean and even though I know it's not such a big deal, it's not like I cheated on him or anything, I just find it really hard to start that conversation. I don't know, I guess I'm afraid to sabotage his trust. And the longer I wait the harder it gets. Will be greateful for any advice. Edited October 22, 2013 by LizzieZ
pipiopi Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Do you think your being independent was a really big deal for him? If it were me, I wouldn't really mind...I mean, how many women - or people in general - are independent at that age? I would think how you are now matters more. I mean, sure you don't want to have him questioning your trustworthiness. But all you have to do is say that you told him that because you really wanted him to like you; and that's also why you didn't mention that you had moved back home with your parents. You guys have been together for a while, he should understand. Like I said, that wouldn't be a big deal to me because I know at 16, even if I wanted to be independent, I wasn't really grown up/independent (and most people aren't) until my early-mid twenties.
