AITAH for keeping a secret from my boyfriend?
Okay. The title is perhaps a little ominous, but here goes. I (18F) began dating my boyfriend (18M) 1 month ago. We met on tinder in march and got very close very quickly. He asked to make it official after 1 month of casual dating. He’s a lovely guy. He’s funny, kind, sporty, very attractive…basically everything I could ever dream of. And that’s what I am scared of losing. For context, I have 2 ex-relationships. My boyfriend gets quite jealous and talking about these said exes makes him quite uncomfortable. I knew that from the get-go and so made sure to refrain from talking about them. However, I broke up with my ex not long before meeting my now-boyfriend. By not long, I mean a month. Now, I know it sounds bad. It is bad. But my prior relationship was hell. We would argue, we barely saw eachother due to distance, there was a pretty hefty age gap and so we were at very different stages in life. We had a terrible sex life. We were not a good match. And so I made the mature decision to end things with him, for both of our benefit. I made a big deal of prioritising myself. I wanted to use my time preparing myself for the big jump to university and cherishing these last few months with my family and close friends. Then I met BF…who believes that I broke up with my ex 6 months ago…because that’s what I told him.
WTH do I do?
If I tell him the truth, I can’t even imagine what will happen. But it’s disrespectful for me to continue with this lie. Does anybody have any advice (not that I deserve it as I am a terrible person) on how to tell him? And should I even tell him?
tldr: I’ve kept how recent my last relationship was from my boyfriend and IDK WHAT TO DO.
