So I met this guy completely on accident and I didn't know at the time I would wind up falling in love with him and that he would feel the same way.
Before he was my boyfriend I came up with this outrageous stupid stupid lie that I was from France and I'm not. Not even close and I've never even been there and nobody in my family has nor speaks French.
Idiotic me kept going along with it and I even told him about a memory from france and that I could only pick my french accent back up while was reading a french script.
I also told him my dad is a cop back on the first day we started talking. He's not a cop. Never has been but he's on the sheriffs board and he's obsessed with cops and even went through these cop like training sessions with the sheriffs board and used to tell everybody I knew he was a cop. He even wore a cop shirt to my schools open house!
I feel so bad and I have no idea how to tell him I lied. I'm pretty sure he even told his family I'm from France and I'm meeting them day after tomorrow.
I thought about making up a bigger lie like "My mom told me today that I'm not from France." but that would make her sound crazy to be honest that's a pretty stupid lie to make up.
I don't even know whether to bother telling him I lied in case we don't work out. I'm pretty sure I can fish my way out of the cop thing by saying he's a park ranger (which he is) which is a type of cop but the France thing is my problem! I have no idea how to get out of that. No matter what I think of it sounds stupid unless one night I start fake bawling and tell him my mom told me I'm not from france but I already told him stories about memories from France and that my moms french and blablabla! Our family was from france but it was our ancestors from hundreds of years ago which I found out via my mom doing geneaology.
I don't know what to do! Please help me!

I would ease your way out of it by saying when you was a kid you was told bout your ancestors and from then you always though you was from france and no one has ever put you on the right path of telling you that your not from there. you can then imclude your other lie of you mum telling you that you found out your not from france by saying you told her the situation you got your self into and thats how you found out you not from france. with this though you do need to be very careful dont stumble over what your saying or it may make things worse for you.
