20/f

I started working at my retail store back in January and I became close friends with one of the assistant managers, who's 19/m. We got very very close and I really fell hard for him. We started dating a few weeks ago (our one month is coming up next week), and our friends and families know about it and support us. But he doesn't want to make it "facebook" official or let anyone at work know because he's scared our manager will fire one of us or both of us. I don't see this as being likely because we're both good employees, and our manager knows that my bf used to date another one of the girls we work with and he never said anything.

How can I convince my bf to at least try to see if we can be fully public about our relationship? I feel like I'm lying to my bosses and our coworkers, because I have to pretend not to be interested in my own boyfriend :(

I think you should say to him by going public with your relationship you wouldn't have to act like your
not interested in him even though you are and things
would go alot smoother and easier for the both of you tell him that you feel like your lying to your
bosses and coworkers also tell him that you don't think the manager will fire you or him because you
both are good employees maybe once you tell him that
he'll loosen up and allow for your relationship to go public it's worth a shot telling him instead of
not talking to him about it if he doesn't allow it then you'll probably have to wait until he's ready(:

(Rating: 5) Thanks! I think you're right about telling him that I feel like I'm lying to my boss. I'll definitely bring that up.
