Confess Sex Past?

When I first got together with my boyfriend, he asked me how many sexual partners I’d had before him. I fibbed and told him that I’d only had two.

But the truth is actually much higher. I was always safe, but I slept around a fair bit when I was younger and I didn’t want him to know.

A little white lie didn’t seem to matter when things were new but, now we’re serious, I don’t like the fact that I’ve not been honest with him.

I’d hate to think he’d hide something like that from me. But he’s not very experienced and can be jealous – so if I’m honest, I think he’ll be upset. Should I tell him the truth?

YES

Pick Me Up! reader Kelly Maria Khan says, ‘I understand you feel like you shouldn’t have fibbed, but do you really want a relationship based on lies?

What if he found out from somebody else and doesn’t trust you again?
