I’ve been lying to my boyfriend of 7 months about being a college graduate

I’ve been lying about having a masters degree. I don’t have any degrees but I am in school now. It has been eating me up and I know I have to confess.

I lied because I’m ashamed but having created this lie has only made things worse. I was afraid of being assumed to be a loser, stupid and I wanted to seem impressive but I’m not. He’s an incredible person, he’s honest and I admire the man he is. and I hate to think that I have ruined this opportunity of love.
I hope he can forgive me and we can continue our relationship but I have lied to him about being a virgin too when we first started dating. he already knows the truth about that.

I dont have any other reasoning for feeling the need to lie but to recognize that I am a coward for not accepting myself. I have trouble being honest when it comes to how I represent myself.

Fear can get the best of all of us. Since he is still with you then he must find you intelligent or he would have investigated it himself.
Your first confession was impressive; whatever his reaction was to that will probably be the same for this second confession.
I find you quite capable to take on this challenge for integrity.
