A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I recently found out that my boyfriend who i have been with for 4 years just lied to me about how old he was. I started getting suspicious about his age only a few months ago when he refused to show me his drivers license, i knew something was up.

But, what made me even more mad was when i asked him if he was lying about his age to me many times before i found out, and he would deny it and tell me he was telling the truth about his age. I found out a couple of days ago that he had lied but never got to see his license, all he told me was that he was not the guy he told me he was. Even after telling me this he tried to tell me he was just kidding about everything! then of course he finally told me the truth cuz i asked to c his license if he was jk.

I feel terrible and that my best friend is a completely different person, someone i dont even know anymore. He said he lied about being one year younger than he really is, but how can i believe he is telling the truth this time. (he managed to lie about his d.o.b. in another credit card) Should i forgive him and just move on? or should i be even talking to him?

Laura1318 agony auntIs lying about his age so very important to you ?His real age is not important but you think his lying is a great sin.

Is it worth to terminate a friendship just because he lied about his age?

Have you not told any lies to anyone? Do you talk straight always and never tell lies ? A big lie or a small lie is still the same , a lie no matter what.

Maybe some women don't lie but they only speak half truth. LOL!

Are you looking for a perfect man who never lie? I think that MAN is now in Heaven.

Fairy_Lu agony auntWell lots of people lie about there age but usually come clean after being confronted the fuirst time but he has lied yto you and denied this for years yeah its only a year but he has lied about it and convinced you that he wasnt lying, if he can lie about this and lie for so long then what else is he lying to you about? Im not so sure this is a relationship you should be in he can lie and make you believe him so who knows what else he could get away with.

Hi there,

I can totally relate to how you're feeling. Its not worth it to stay in a relationship with a liar. I had a relationship that started with my boyfriend lying about his first name, and eventually after a year and a half I found out he had lied about having his liscence, having a car, having a job and staying faithful. My advice would be to confront your boyfriend and let him go. Its not fair on you to go through this.

All the best!
