I'm a complete moron:(

Hi Guys,

I'm really hoping to get some good advice here but I'm terrified that I've screwed things up irrepairably..

Long story short, I've recently moved to a new city and was finding it pretty hard to get things off the ground. I don't speak the language (although I'm doing a course at the moment so it's improving) and work is hard to come by. I was feeling really down about myself. I've just turned 30 and am single and have been for a few years.

I met this guy about a month ago and we have fallen madly in love which is amazing. He's everything I've ever wanted and I feel like pinching myself everyday. I'm so lucky to have found him. At the time I was umemployed and felt like a real waster. When he asked me what age I am I couldn't bring myself to say that I'm 30 and unemployed with few prospects so I lied and said I'm 28. Dumbass I know.

So now we are mad about each other and I have a new job but the problem remains....how on earth do I explain to him that I lied so badly??

I'm normally a very honest open loving person and I feel so bloody stupid for doing this.

Can somebody please tell me how to fix my idiotic mistake??

Does this spell the end for us or will he maybe...just maybe understand?

Sorry for my ramblings....feel like a fool and a fraud and a moron.

Thanks

catch me if you can

sit him down and show him this thread. im sure if he is as nice as you say that he will forgive you.

Talk about being needlessly hard on yourself...think he'd be more troubled if you were a convict or planning a sex change. Relax and let the good times roll!

I really doubt it will be a big deal. Just sit him down and be honest.

Two years is nothing. As per previous posters, tell him, relax and enjoy the good times

I did the very same myself, knocked 3 yrs off my real age when I first met my now husband when it came to telling him I just casually passed it off in conversation - he laughed, said he'd already figured out and admitted he was two years older than he'd said he was too (which I by then knew too as I'd nosied at his passport)
Should be grand

I don't think 2 yrs in going to make a difference, I take it this guy is slightly younger than 30???, Everybody does it at some stage, will ya just tell him and stop cutting yourself up about it, Have fun!!!

To be honest, if a guy did the same with me, I'd laugh. There's something quite endearing about it , particularly when you only knocked 2 years off your age! 28 or 30...same same. Just tell him but make light of it. Make a joke out of it. If the guy has any kind of sense of humour, he'll laugh. Don't worry!

By the way, why would you go knocking 2 years off your age if you're only 30??

its seriously no big deal. Just tell him in a passing way and tell the truth.

It's funny. he surely will not care. I know i wouldn't.

Ah you guys are the best!!!

Haven't told him yet but will over the weekend. We're mad about each other but I just worried that he may not trust me now. I'm very honest usually though and I just hope he reaslises that and doesn't think I'm some crazy liar!

Thanks all of you for making me feel sooooooooo much better:)
