I have been with my boyfriend for 1 1/2 yrs and just found out he has been lying about something that he did in his past. He lied about it because he didn't want to upset me (which I was), but hasn't been lying about anything else and his overall a really great guy who treats me well.
If it was something that wouldn't effect our future, I think I would chalk it up to 'we all have a past.' Unfortunately this will be a problem for the next couple of years.
It has really crushed my trust. Would you stay or go?
Yes, if he is lying about committing a crime, he probably would lie and justify that lie in that he didn't want to hurt you. So he will probably continue lying to you.
Its not that it was a terrible horrific thing, its that he was lying about it happening and hiding what he was doing to fix the situation, etc. He was just embarrassed that it happened and didn't think it reflected the person he wanted to be (or wanted me to think he was).
For me it would be all about the lying and the lack of trust that I would understand. No one is perfect, personally I understand that but when you try to cover up the places where you have fallen short with lies, that is something I can't disregard.
I am currently fighting a misdemeanor which will end up being wiped off my record stemming from a traffic offense, this is not something I am proud of because I did indeed do something wrong, really poor judgment on my part but its not something I would compound with a lie.
