I lied to my boyfriend about getting a loan to pay off my car debt because I lied to myself and pretended I had the loan to avoid the scary Car Debt feelings but last night I told him the truth and he didn’t even leave me 🥹 and I didn’t even run away from the conversation (usually I run away to the park for awhile), I stayed and talked. he was so kind and we talked logistics and made a plan and I just feel like I’m finally learning what trust really is (five years into the relationship but still). I’ve never told the truth about lies to myself without being backed into the corner about it before and I am feeling very light and free today (though still very concerned about the goddamn Car Debt).
