Is it too late to tell the truth?

24 replies

HCheems91 · 03/02/2019 14:33

Hi

Got myself in a situation

I lied to a close friend ( first time ever and not proud). It was more of a small white lie than anything. He didnt believe me...so out of fear of losing him, I semi expanded the lie. After semi expanding it, I did apologize for everything. Is it too late to confess now or should I not bring it up again?

Thanks

Depends what the lie was, but just tell the truth

Steakbakeislife · 03/02/2019 14:34

What was the lie?

SinkGirl · 03/02/2019 14:35

Was there a good reason for your lie? Will you be able to explain it? I think it very much depends what it is.

It was so silly and like a high school drama type thing.
I basically followed his cousin on instagram by mistake, he found out and went ape shit. Like swearing type thing. I told him it wasn't me (my account on there is a travel one not personal). I then expanded the lie

Why was he so angry at you following his cousin?

Coolaschmoola · 03/02/2019 14:44

Why on EARTH would a close friend go "apeshit" over you following his cousin on Instagram? And why would you lie?!

Follow whoever you want, tell anyone who disputes this right to fuck off.

He got angry because you followed his cousin? Unless there's a huge back story that's just plain weird.

BollocksToBrexit · 03/02/2019 14:46

He doesn't sound much of a friend.

I'm not sure why he was so angry at me. A month ago I told him i had feelings for him, he didn't reciprocate and we were moving on from that. I then did this.
I lied because he was already angry with me due to messaging him loads the previous week so was trying to calm the situation down

He doesn’t sound like a particularly pleasant person OP.

FaithInfinity · 03/02/2019 14:49

Didn’t you post about this last night? It doesn’t seem any less bizarre today...

mummmy2017 · 03/02/2019 14:49

Just unfollow.
Say nothing more.
If he says anything else about it, just tell him you check and you deleted as he was right.

That you had not done it on purpose, and your sorry it upset him.

I did unfollow and even deleted the account. Apologised for upsetting him.

Lol @WorraLiberty

I know but just a severe worrier and needed some advice

OP posts:
SoyDora · 03/02/2019 14:58

This doesn’t sound like a healthy dynamic. He gets angry at you, you apologise and agonise over it...

DameSquashalot · 03/02/2019 15:00

All sounds a bit weird

RedLife · 03/02/2019 15:03

Tell him to do one. You should be able to follow who you damn well like.

GertrudeWilloughby · 03/02/2019 15:28

Wasn't this also posted yesterday? Confused

HCheems91 · 03/02/2019 15:42

Yeah posted yesterday but excessive worrying over such an issue

OP posts:
FaithInfinity · 03/02/2019 15:50

I’d walk away from the friendship, he sounds horrible.

ComfortComes76 · 03/02/2019 15:52

Is this the same guy you've never met but sometimes wear the same clothes as and have dinner at the same time as?

HCheems91 · 03/02/2019 15:56

Lol yes but we've actually met now! And now I've done this

LtJudyHopps · 03/02/2019 16:43

If he’s got this angry over something so pathetic he will go ballistic over you telling the truth now. He sounds like a catch, not!
