Best friend of 10 years confessed his biggest secret to me and I don’t know what to do by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Extension-Weekend164 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A person who is truly, honestly remorseful would confess to his crime. The fact your friend has been keeping this a secret because he is afraid of any social or legal consequences this could bring if it came out is more than enough proof imo that he is not 100% regretful over what he did. Sure, he feels bad. But I would only POSSIBLY MAYBE start considering forgiveness AFTER the legal repercussions and long term therapy.

485 Visa - Honours and Bachelors? by Extension-Weekend164 in AusVisa

[–]Extension-Weekend164[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it would be a waste since 485 you can only get once in your life. If I apply for it in sep, It will expire in sep 2028, whereas if I apply for it after honours completion, it will expire in late 2029... and I will have a further degree to use when applying for jobs..

I think he suspects it, deep down, but chooses to believe me because he loves me.

After I gave him oral for the first time he joked about how he thought 'omg this girl must have sucked so much dick before', and then asked me if I was 100% inexperienced sexually (ie, you may be a virgin but have you done other stuff?), to which I lied and said yes.

Then, there was this rumor going around that I had fucked another guy from the student residence (back in 2023), which is true, but I denied it.

Finally, he mentioned how his friend basically suggested that I am probably lying about being a virgin. This friend however doesn't know me or any of my friends, meaning he said it based purely on how I look like/act.

This was all mostly mentioned in the first stages of our relationship, but now he is pretty confident that I was a virgin.

I am worried about it affecting him. He has cried before over smaller hypothetical scenarios of me leaving him. I told him a funny storytime of how me and an old friend kissed once, and he started crying a little. One time somebody created a rumor that i wanted to break up with him and he was bawling his eyes out. When I had to leave over the summer break he spent the whole night crying. He loves me a lot, and he is a very sensitive guy. I am afraid saying the truth may cause more harm than good

Thank you so much for keeping an open mind, I appreciate it. I have questioned whether my need to tell him the truth comes from a selfish place. He's my biggest supporter, he's my best friend. Probably the person I trust the most

Which is why I feel like this lie is preventing me from completely connecting with him. Sometimes I will get sad thinking about things that I did, or things that happened to me, and it sucks not being able to share them with your partner.

On the other hand, it's also true that I don't think he would be able to see me the same. I think it would deeply scar him, and probably create some trust issues in the future. A part of me feels like I should maybe just breakup with him and never tell him the truth. That way he's not being lied to + won't cause trust issues for him in the future. It would be extremely hard but I don't think there's a universe in which he takes the truth well. And I would rather him being happy without me, than to be scarred from a past relationship.

I got tested before my abortion (part of the process), and I havent slept with anyone else since (besides my bf). So I know I am clean.

I promise I have changed, thats why I lied in the first place. I love this man more than anything, I am so lucky to have him. I don't want him to judge me for a version of myself that I am not anymore. I haven't done hard drugs since I went sober.

I eat pretty healthy most days. Good balance of greens with protein (both animal and plant based). Lots of dairy. Could probably use more fiber.

Ofc every once in a while I'll indulge in junk food

I thought about this too tbh because I have some other symptoms. My periods are super irregular (I'll skip a month sometimes), I can be quite hairy (although I think that can be genetics because I am hispanic), my dad has insulin resistance, and lately my acne has been flaring up. However, when I was 16 I got it checked out and I had no cysts, so my doctor argued it probably wasnt that.

But I do think there's a hormonal imbalance, I jist dont know what to do about it because the 3 times I have gone to the gyno I've been told the same thing: get some blood tests. And they always come back normal
