I lied about my age when I started seeing this guy. Then, I was 32 but told him I was 25. He believed me and we’ve been in our relationship for about four years now. Recently, my brother said that I was born in 1986. Although my boyfriend has not said anything, I feel terribly embarrassed by this lie and I do not know what to do. Please advise. By the way, he is three years younger than me.

Dear Sharifah,
It is true that many people lie about their age for fear of being labeled as old and of course to feel accepted. Society tends to associate physical beauty with youth and even men tend to prefer younger women assuming they are prettier and more in shape. It is also common that most men want to date women who are younger than them and this puts up pressure on women who are in their 30’s and not yet hooked.
When people talk about success, they almost always end by saying that ‘nothing is going to happen overnight.’ In Olivia Rodrigo’s case, this is most definitely a lie. Olivia Rodrigo began 2021 as a relatively minor Disney star: she had a reoccurring role on Disney+ ‘High School Musical: The Musical: The Series’ and had appeared in other Disney channel shows. Although a fan favourite by avid Disney fans, she was little known outside of this marginal bracket. However, in the background, Olivia and her producer Dan Nigro had been tirelessly crafting and perfecting Olivia’s breakthrough into the music industry and main stage of pop. In early January 2021, the day finally arrived.
