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.

The problem is he is going to ask what else have you lied about? Because as of right now you are telling lies about things that truly don’t matter and that alone is concerning…
It’s best for you to step up and stop acting childish in that manner especially if this is someone you genuinely care about.
You know when people say I am tired of playing games or don’t like those that play games well this is that.
Good luck and I wish you the best and 2 last words…Just Stop 😁👍🏿
