The Birthday Lie
Posted Apr 22, 2011 by Amanda H. | 1717 views | 2 comments
Every year, at my birthday, I’m moved by the kind of effort, care and love my husband puts into throwing me little parties and selecting the befitting gifts. But I can’t keep feeling a little guilty for not telling him my real birthday. And age. It’s a secret I probably won’t tell him because I’m not sure how he’ll react. We’ve been together for eight years and finding out that your wife’s birthday isn’t exactly what you know or what’s on her official documents can be grounds for distrust and bitterness. Should I tell him or not? My “birthday” is coming up again next month and already, I can feel the guilt mounting.

how old does he think you are and how old are you for real?

Why have you been lying to him for so long about this? Do you think he would not love you if he knew you were older? How does he not know this? Hasn't he ever seen your driver's license, passport etc....? If you're lying about this, what else are you lying to him about?
