Conundrum Next Conundrum

Is it OK to lie to my family about where I met my girlfriend? I don't want to say that we met in a bar.

Call me crazy (crowd: You're Crazy!) but my family is really uptight and if they found out we met at a bar INSTEAD of the dog park they THINK we met in, they're going to be mad. At me, not her. She's an angel. What do I do?

Hmm... I think, you have to be honest with your family. Lying will lead you nowhere and might harm your relationship with your girlfriend. Tell your family the truth about where you met your girlfriend. It's best to be honest with them. Your girlfriend might think that you are ashamed of her if you do not tell your parents the truth.

It's no easy feat, but you have to do it. Good luck!

She's an angel, why the worry. Your family should not make a fuss about where you met your girlfriend. I am not calling you crazy, you met her at a bar, that's a wonderful place to meet someone although some people including your family may think otherwise. It's your life, no disrespect to your family and you must move on to another level, concentrate and working on your relationship with this angel lady and maybe later on when you believe your family has accepted her for who she really is, you may wish to tell them the truth without any embarrassment to anyone. The only thing that matter now is the fact that your want to know if it is OK, I must say you have to deal with your conscious and how much it is bothering you that you tell them a lie. If it matters a lot to you and you feel guilty then you should weigh the pros and cons and ponder on what you'll loose -- maybe the trust of your family and they might reproach you - if they are an understanding family they will not be hard on you and respect and accept your decision to love this woman. try not to make this a big issue if you are happy with her continue to love her and she'll continue to love you too and the relationship will grow and maybe she'll be the wife you were looking for all along. All the best!
