Could you marry someone or stay with someone forever that you have lied to regarding your sexual history?

We all have a past, some may have had more partners or experiences than others. Buts that is what it is, it is in the past ! .
It's the present & the future that counts & if people cannot accept you for what you are, or have done, whatever it may have been in life, then they have the problem & should get a life .
We are all different, & if we are honest & true about our commitment to our partners, I can't see a problem.
As for staying with them it would be on my conscience. If they found out and still stayed with you it shows that it isn't all that important.
I base my relationship on trust, so I couldn’t marry or be with her long term if I had to hide my past from them.
I’ve er, done some pretty bad thing sex wise, stuff I don’t need to say on here!, But the people I’m in involved with I tell (Even though there is no way for them to find out about it!) I still tell them. If I want the relationship to work I feel my partner has to know my mistakes that I’ve made in the past.
It’s only fair, you can have a relationship built up on lies.
You dug a hole, you lied about it. Now years down the line this person is the one youa re going to marry. If you tell them that you lied x year ago then you could ruin it all, if you don't you have to live the lie. What would you do?
I panicked and made up a number when I was originally asked and I've stuck by that. The number is WAYYYY too high. But now 5 months have passed by and I feel that if I tell the truth its going to ruin everything that is great about us.
Ive fucked up.
It's certainly something I'd be able to forgive.
Lol....loads of people do that. Hey if it doesn't come up again don't mention it. if it does then just come clean. Numbers don't matter anyway, what difference does it matter if you've had 1 person or a 50? It's a number not a life altering thing.
Relax, it's a common lie and she won't mind. I'm sure you had your reasons for the numberyou picked and as long as you can show her that and explain to her why you idd then you have no worries. i'm sure she hasn't been completly honest with you about everything.
Or not, as the case may very well be.
So how big an exageration was it eh?
Fuck knows why.
I guess most of my mates are on 20+/
Come clean to us and it will ease your soul!;)
Nah you’ve gone this far you may as well go the whole 9 yards and keep hush about it.
That's not that bad, I wouldn't worry about it mate!
Just try not to lie In the future
She'll be cool with it. & if she's not, grovel for a while. It's sooo a forgivable offence! She will surely realise why you told her more.
Exactly!!
:eek: tell me you haven't made up names and things? Thats gonna be a tricky one to get out of.
You've got to come clean. you can't remember 10 lies in the detail it sounds like you've made em all in. Sorry hun, but be honest, tell her your sorry and you don't know why, and you'l be fine.
I can’t think of any at the moment because I’ve never really had to use them!
“I only said it so you wouldn’t think less of me”.
“I can’t carry on lying to you because you mean so much to me”.
“There wasn’t anyway you could have found out about it but I needed to tell you the truth etc”.
“I’m so stupid, I’ll understand if you want to brake up with me”.(Big puppy dog eyes)
She wont call it off!, may make you earn her trust all over again. At the worse you’re looking at no sex for few weeks. I doubt even that! Slap on the wriest.
But you’re not a compulsive liar are you? You just told a little fib that turned into a white lie that got way out of hand! Right?!
I just dread that coming clean on this could drain the honesty out of the relationship though as things are fantastic as they are.
Thats what I said but she was insistent. I'd rather tell the truth than lie to all her questions.
*is intrigued*
Read the thread woman!
For instance - Where I have put my number up to 20, she thinks I have slept with more people than her and that I have slept with more than her ex did, and she comments things like "You was great, thats your experience showing through". So If I then tell her "Actually Its only 10" she will see various conversations we've had in the last 5 months as complete bullshit.
I'm lost. And I still feel sick. And I still don't know what to do!
Live a lie or come clean and risk it all.
