My boyfriend has always lied to me about how many girls he's slept with probably because I lost my virginity to him. We've been together for almost seven years and he's still saying he's only been with six girls. I know for a fact he' s lying. Is this normal?
It is extremely "normal" for guys to lie about everything. EVERYTHING. At last count there were only 24 truly honest men on the planet -- and I am one of them. (That's actually a lie. I think there are fewer than 24) but guys often times lie about things that they THINK are not that important, like how many people they've slept with. If you can convince him why it's so important for YOU to know an exact count (you're superstitious or the number will help determine how ready he is to settle down etc. ) then he may actually fess up, or at least give you a more accurate count (but don't hold your breathe -- and telling him you're "just curious" is probably NOT going to move him. :)
You say you "know for a fact" that he's lying. How do you know? Guys do seem to want to make the story better, and for guys, more is better. More often, I'd say guys overestimate the number of girls just to make it sound good, but maybe that's not the case here.
It's very common for guys to lie about sexual experiences. He doesn't want to hurt you or freak you out. But the very fact that you've been together for 7 years and he's still lying to you would be cause for concern. He needs to stop being stubborn about lying about that, because if he will lie to you about that, what else will he lie to you about?
