I've been with my girlfriend for 9 months now. Love her completely and we've had talks of marriage in the future. Theres just this problem that I've been lying about graduating highschool.. anytime she brings up highschool I just avoid the topic and let her think I graduated with my class.
I'm 24, in a very competitive program at my community college with a very high GPA. I'm not embarrassed about being a dropout, because I'm going somewhere.. only ashamed I haven't been able to tell her sooner. The reason I haven't told her is because shortly after we started dating she told me about her last breakup.. where the guy she was dating revealed to her he was a convicted sex offender. Not the same, but I just haven't been able to bring up the topic of something I've been lying about that she might consider a big deal.
Help, please>.
Its not a big deal at all. You are not a drop out if you are in school now. Those credits transfer to your HS and its counts as a real diploma. Sex offender and drop out are like...well they are not even on the same planet of existance!
You really need to tell her, now...I'd do this...Bring her candy/flowers...Tell how important communication is your relationship, that you apologize for not telling her sooner and that you will never keep anything from her again...Then tell her you'd like to discuss it over dinner...Good luck...
If you got a GED, I'd think she'd be understanding about it...

My thing is, I'm 24.. she's 19.. She still thinks and talks about highschool a lot, and I've been essentially lying to her when she talks about graduation and stuff.
Seriously, it's not a big deal at all, since you're in school and motivated. I don't think it's a deep, dark secret that should be enshrouded in a big issue that you need to confess something to her at all. If you're in college, she knows that you didn't get there without completing high school, so the manner in which you did it should have no real bearing on the relationship.

Next time she brings it up, simply tell her. Just say "I'm sorry I didn't tell you this sooner but I'm very self conscious about it. I didn't graduate with my class.". Then tell her you got a GED. Done. Or write a note, put it in a card and give it to her.
