Question..

If you've lied about something to someone is it better to tell them or hope they never find out the truth?....becuase I can't take feeling so guilty anymore..it's killing me...but I don't want to lose them...my life could be made hell if I tell the truth... 😕

honesty is the best policy ..

its better to hurt someone with the truth ...

what did you lie about?

Your desision...

Just show them the thread to help them understand how hard it was to decide if you tell them the truth

Better to hurt someone with the truth than have them hurt even worse later when they find out the lie.

Talk to them.

I'm sure they wont be pleased about you lying to them, but it will be better than if they found out the truth later.

tell them the truth. its better than carrying the weight of guilt on your shoulders.. and itll hurt the person, but itll also mean alot to them to know you had the balls to tell them the truth

Yes, tell the truth, much better then acting like it never happened.

secrets are nice but you started this thread so obviously somethings up

the truth...its the only way. if they find our later and you didnt tell them it will cause worse pain and more problems.

may i ask what the lie is? i may be able to help you tell it to them in the best way.

email isnt always the best choice, but whatever makes it so that you can break the news to them.

good luck, sweetie.

Tell them, because they WILL find out and it will be about 100x worse than if you had just told them
