So my boyfriend lives in Colorado, goes to school here. He resides with a couple of his family members for the school year. He told them about me so he would be able to have me over whenever he pleased. Only problem is he's 20 pushing 21 and I'm a bit younger than him. So he wants to lie about my age, occupation, and how we met. I'm not really okay with this but he says it's only to ensure that I'm welcome at his house, otherwise he knows his family members would judge him and not approve of me coming over.

I pretty much broke up with him over this. Am I being irrational and should I go along with this, or do I have a right to be upset?

You have a right to be upset. Him trying to give you a new storyline to follow is too much work and is stressful and also shady.

sounds like you're underage and your boyfriend is a pedo. get ur life right.

Sounds like you're judging without knowing facts. Stick to the topic Britney stan.

you have a right to be upset why is he trying to make you into someone else for his family? a lil sus imo

really sounds like you are underage... IF you're not and he isn't telling you have another occupation because he is ashamed of the real one.. then you shouldn't care.

are you like teenager? um this is a blog.. smh

How much older does he want you to be?

1 year.

Yeah, you did nothing wrong. Trying to follow some fake storyline will make you uptight and stressed.

I get him making you lie about your age, it's weird but I get it. Dating younger people can cause for some awkward questions from family members. Occupation and how you two met though is SUPER weird, though.

Give him some space, he'll run back.

His living situation. One thing wrong and he gets sent home and taken out of his school.

oh, well maybe that's a little more understandable. still a bit :/ but i feel like you should talk it out instead of breaking up with him.

I don't see the problem with it persay. I mean, I see a problem with the occupation. Like why? Lmao. how did you guys meet though? Because if you met in some odd way (dating site for example because sadly it's still considered weird) then his family probably is low key homophobic.

Ah, strict parents. I get it. I'd say just do it. I mean....avoid them at all costs if you can, but idk. I don't have much pride, it sounds like you do have a lot for yourself and I respect that so much. I guess I'm really not the kind of person to answer this, haha.

They're aware he's gay and don't mind it. We did meet on a dating site, though. And that's what I'm saying, I get the age and how we met, but why the occupation? It just seems too elaborate and too much to lie about.

That's so weird. What the hell... Maybe his parents have high expectations for him and if you have a "mediocre" job (not something living up to their expectations) then they probably wouldn't approve of you.

What is your job?

Just imagine your relationship two years from now, on your birthday receiving a card with the 'wrong' age on it. His parents are going to be more upset finding out you've both lied profusely about basic information. It'll be awkward. You'll break up anyway because your relationship with his family won't be the same regardless. Also, a liar is a liar. If a guy can lie to his own parents, it wouldn't make me confident that he wouldn't lie to me either. Good luck. Move on, don't compromise

All I need is time, a moment that is mine.
