Is it normal i lie in a relationship

I've been seeing this girl and I love her more than anyone I've loved and she loves me too. But I can't help lying to her about my past relationships.
I've done lot of stupid things in the past which I regret but I am sure this girl would be hurt really bad to know about them. I don't want her to feel bad or think bad about me. She'll forgive me I know that but she'll be hurt so much! Should I tell her or not?

    If it is something she could possibly find out about later, it might be better for you to tell her yourself. I would certainly be very careful on how you break it to her though.

    If it's something she would probably never find out about though, it might be better if you just left it in the past depending on how much it might potentially hurt the relationship. Sometimes telling those things can help with trusting each other though.

    The bottom line is that it's your call. I hope you make the right decision.

    • She'll never find out that is for sure.. I think I'll just keep it to myself and tell her when I am sure it won't matter at all.. She's everything I ever wanted a woman to be like and I won't let my past hurt her or mess up something so awesome..
      Thanx for your advice

    You should tell her. She has a right to know.

    Also, she'll probably find out eventually and hold it against you for covering it up.

    I hate liars much more than I could possibly hold someone's past against them. I would instantly dump/divorce a partner if I find out she lied to me.

    There are others out there that think the way I do and you better hope she's not one of them. It's best you come clean, just in case.

    Can't you just leave the past behind and not talk about it?

    If it is something she could find out from someone else then yes you should but if not chill.

    Your post lacks content needed for anyone to judge. For example, if you have HIV then you should tell; if you pissed your pants because you were intimidated by your grade 1 teacher, it is a safe bet that that is something you can keep to yourself. If it is just something dumb you did for which you have not forgiven yourself but it has no bearing on her and would only upset her, I'd say leave it (and her) alone and go get help yourself on it

    Why should you tell her?

    I mean, if you murdered or raped someone or you have kids you're not feeding, she might have a right to know, but relationships get rough sometimes and if you treat her right then she doesn't need to know all of the gory details about you and your ex.

    past relationships don't mean much. maybe a pattern starts to develop. you do certain things or don't.

    There is a reason why the past is called the past! For its a baggage on its own hence we have to leave them behinde, I say don't tell her, you surely don't need to carry your past with you into the future now, do you?

    Leave the past in the past, i say dont tell her. I never discuss my past sex life with a current partner-unless its a really funny/awkward story ha ha
