I cut my age by seven years and now he has found out

I lied about my age when I started seeing this guy. Then, I was 32 but told him I was 25. He believed me and we’ve been in our relationship for about four years now. Recently, my brother said that I was born in 1986. Although my boyfriend has not said anything, I feel terribly embarrassed by this lie and I do not know what to do. Please advise. By the way, he is three years younger than me.

Dear Sharifah,
It is true that many people lie about their age for fear of being labeled as old and of course to feel accepted. Society tends to associate physical beauty with youth and even men tend to prefer younger women assuming they are prettier and more in shape. It is also common that most men want to date women who are younger than them and this puts up pressure on women who are in their 30’s and not yet hooked.
