Lied to girlfriend, should I come clean?

LegacyUser

I've been with my girlfriend for a year and a half now. We get along famously and are very much in love. She's very innocent though. I said im a year older than I actually am when I first met her and she has no idea. My friends all think its pretty bad and subversive, which I agree with, but should I come clean and tell her?
This would be a major thing for her considering she's only 21 and all of her friends think im 21 too. And also because we dont argue or keep anything from each other.
No idea how long I could keep the lie going for if I went down that path but it's been pretty easy so far. Aside from this I'm in it for the long run and hope she is too.

Any advice appreciated, thanks

Well if youre in it for the long run, she is gonna find out eventually. You may aswell take your punishment now rather than waiting longer and putting it off.

So you told her you were 21 when you're actually 22? Why? It seems a bit of a pointless lie. Also a non-issue if you ask me, its hardly a big difference.

You've been going out a year and a half and she thinks you're a year older than you actually are....? It's not the content of your lie that really matters. She probably wouldn't have cared about you being a year younger (why the hell would she?) and she probably wouldn't care about it if you told her but what she would care about is that you have deceived her for this long.

If you've lied to her about this she's going to wonder what else you've lied about. You can't really lie about something fundamental for this long and think she'll get over it any time soon.

Surely she'll find out anyway once your birthday rolls around and people throw you a 21st instead of a 22nd? just tell her

tell her!

This will come out eventually! Your family or some one might mention it in passing.

Plus its a bit of a silly lie if i suddenly found out tomorrow my bf was actually younger then me i'd probaly just laugh and maybe be slightly confused as to why he thought i would care.

Girls don't normally sit around dicussing the age of their boyfriends so i'm sure her friends wouldn't care

Why would you lie over something like that ??
If I was with someone that told a lie like that I would find it difficult to believe anything they said.

Oh The Humanity

Ya better fess up!

Its gonna look pretty stupid when your real 21st comes.....I mean what will you do? Throw a huge 22nd?

Crawl like a dawg fella!

i know a lot of girls who would have an issue going out with a younger guy, and i mean a lot of girls! either way you have to come clean!

As another poster said, there are some women who wouldn't be comfortable with the idea of going out with a younger guy ... just as there are men who wouldn't be comfortable with the idea of going out with an older woman ... so I can see how you let yourself get into this situation.

But seriously ... one and a half years?? Tell her now before this hole you're digging gets any bigger!
