I certainly don't want to lie to my parents. Unfortunately, I feel like I've been telling this lie for too long to stop it. If I could go back in time to when I started dating my boyfriend, and when I started lying about going to his house, I'd like to believe that I wouldn't lie. I would just ask my parents and if they wanted to talk to his parents, I would let them. Now that three years have passed, I feel like it's not worth talking about. Hopefully, in the future, I want to ask them if I can go to their house. I'm an adult now, for heaven's sake! Although I'm still afraid of how they will respond and react. Thinking about it now, it seems to me that it would be pointless to even worry about it. Since I'm an adult now, I don't think there's much they could do about the situation or that they would care. This also adds some questions. Who knows if when I'm older they'll ask me or say they knew I went to his house. Thankfully the topic never came up in conversation. It also didn't come up in a conversation between my parents and his parents. I know for a fact that if my parents found out through his parents, I wouldn't hear the end of it. The reason for all this lying, chaos and deception is because I wanted to completely avoid my parents' response to the situation. For now, I wish I had never lied and I hope in the future I can get back on my feet
