writes:I lied to my bf about the type of car I used to have. I know this may sound really weird, why would I lie about something like that? Well, my car I used to have was a really expensive one and people would always judge me by it. As soon as I say what type of car I had, they will make all these assumptions about me and stereotype me and I'm nothing like that really. I feel quite embarrased to say what my old car was. So when my bf asked me I said it was a less expensive car. I feel really guilty for lying and I'm not usually the type of person to lie. I havent lied to him about anything else except this and I feel really bad, but at the same time telling him the truth now would be even harder in the first place because i lied. I dont know what to do...any suggestions? Reply to this Question

 Given all the negative feedback you have had I can understand why that was the first thing that popped into your head given the importance of a first impression. But that crazy moment is gone and you can let him know the truth by using humour to diffuse it, you will both laugh and move on. Although it was an expensive car when you bought it technically it is probably is a cheap bomb by now anyway...maybe you can use that as a light way to laugh about it.

You should tell him why you did it and then tell him the lie you said and explain that it has been bothering you. Otherwise, something small like this may then later help to cast doubt on something bigger.

the thing is if he doesn't need to know, then there's no reason you HAVE to tell him. if you think you need to tell him then you should.
hope that makes sense!!!
Good luck.
