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.

I'm with those who recommended you confess like in this post.
