precisely. btw, it wont be easy living up to ur guilt. also, if u do confess the lie, the bf's reaction would indicate how well the relationship is gonna be in the future. the earleir u confess, the better - dont drag it.

just ignore the ex, keep clear from his path, and if anything should go wrong such as he sends u threaten msges or your instincts tell u he's gonna do some crazy shit to u, report to the relevant authorities such as the police. pls do let ur friends know about your situation with ur ex too, very crucial. friends will give you the extra protection you need when you least expect it. dont fear embarrassment because it is not your fault that ur ex is behaving dat way.

as the saying goes, one lie leads to another. so dont start, else before you know it you cant stop anymore.
