I met this guy a while back. As soon as I saw him, I knew I wanted to be involved with him. I was waiting for the valet to bring my car and he was getting out of his beautiful Benz! He walked with style and confidence and when he said hello and smiled at me I felt a rush through my body. When he was beyond earshot, I told the valet, I wasn't ready and needed to go back inside.
I approached him and was very straight forward with him. I told him I was interested and wanted to get to know him. My confidence level is on 1,000! I knew he couldn't turn me down. We hit it off! He said he liked a confident woman and would definitely like to see me and get to know me. We talked about our lives and he told me he was an engineer and was newly divorced and told me his ex wife was also an engineer. I don't know why but that made me feel like I needed to up my game a little so I lied and told him I was an ER doctor. I know, that was dumb as hell! I'm a school teacher and I'm working on my phD so I'll be making more than the average teacher soon but nowhere near what an ER doctor makes!
Now, I have to be playing the part and pretending to be busy at all kinds of crazy hours! I had to get a damn white coat embroidered with my fake doctor name and bought all these stupid doctor-like things to throw in my car so it looked like I work in medicine. I'm exhausted from all this lying and I feel so stupid about this charade I've been keeping up.
I really like him and think he's great husband material so I know I should tell him but he may think I'm crazy so I don't want to tell him. How should I approach it if I decide to tell him?

Dear Dr. Fake,
OMG! WHY??? I hope you use some of this creativity to make learning fun and exciting for your students.
You better tell this man the truth, the whole truth and nothing else but the truth, so help you God before he finds out on his own and you end up super embarrassed. Tell him exactly what you said in this letter; you were intimidated by his ex's profession and you felt you were subpar so you lied. It's that simple.
Maybe, he'll laugh it off or maybe he'll run for the hills. Either way, I'm pretty sure you've learned your lesson here.
By the way, being a teacher is a profession you should never be ashamed of. What you do is highly respected, it's just a shame that teachers aren't fairly compensated.
Walk good,
#TeamWISY
You should approach with all humility. I hope he finds out regardless because you are not wife material. Not yet. You have potential but you are far too childish and dishonest to be a good catch yet. The lengths you've gone to in your deception borders on sociopathic. You should feel more than stupid. Seek help cause that's too much work put into being something you're not when you could have led with who you are. Think about it and do better.
ReplyDeleteIt seems u haven't grown up yet. Only a kid would behave this way. I hope he laughs in your face and sends you along your way. It's disturbing to know a teacher is doing this. What school district u teach at??
ReplyDeleteTeaching is a profession that should not be shameful. Teachers are the ones who lay the foundation for children to grow up to be the same doctors you feel is more worthy of a profession. #thinkaboutit
