Hi Julie,

It sounds like you have a great relationship, and trust with this man. My concern, is how would you tell him, and do you really feel you need to tell him about something that happened so long ago? You actually were in a fact grieving for this friend, and you did the best you knew at the time. I don’t really think this is a *huge* lie, because he did not know your friend.

Also, he May feel awkward and not know what to say it do if you do tell him. He may think “should I tell her “I’m sorry your friend lost contact” with you” he May feel in an very awkward position and not know what to say or do. However, it is your decision, and if you are feeling this anxious, then it may ease your mind to tell him, but just be prepared for some possible awkwardness on his part. Keep us posted.
