I'm going to tell a lie

I have an older sister who is 5 years older.
A few years ago, when we were talking about whether my older sister is married at work, I lied about the fact that my older sister is married and that her husband is a good person. My sister is not married. At that time, there was frequent talk of marriage between same family members, and I think I was embarrassed that my older sister wasn't married even though she was of marriageable age. If I think about it now, that's the worst. It's not all about getting married for each person.

I'm getting married myself, and speaking of it, is my older sister married? The number of opportunities to be asked has increased. I had no choice but to answer yes.
Every time I talk about my sister, it gets harder. It's all my fault. The only people in the company are telling this lie. I'm sorry that I lied to my close friends, but now I can't say that it was a lie.
This kind of topic doesn't come up very often, but are they getting married this time? When asked, I'd like to say I'm single. I'm not sure if this is the right decision.
What should I do? I won't lie anymore. But I've been really worried about this matter.

I think it's safe to say it was a lie

I read it.
It must have been very painful to keep telling such lies. I feel like I understand your feelings very well. I understand your feelings from the bottom of my heart.
At that time, I probably just said it like that, but now I think it's safe to say that I just told a lie because it used to be like that.
It's different for each person, and it's not something to brag about, look good, or worry about your appearance.
If it couldn't be helped back then, I think that's fine. What's more, even if you get married in this day and age, there are also divorces, and not getting married is one way.
There's nothing to worry about.
You have your own life, and each older sister has her own life. Since we live our own lives, we have no shame or outrage. Please don't tell lies and live honestly.
I wholeheartedly support you, your sister, and everyone.

This was a huge learning experience

Thank you for your consultation. You've been suffering all this time because of the lies you've told about your past, and you've been suffering for a long time.

Among the five precepts of Buddhism, there is a teaching called the “commandment of not being delusional (fumo gokai),” which states that lies must not be told. Lies that hurt others are gross negligence, but your lies this time are due to your momentary appearance and appearance, and there is almost no direct adverse effect on others. They are deeply reflecting on “not telling lies anymore,” so why don't you first let go of that hazy sense of self-blame and forgive yourself.

I think the idea “I want to say I'm single when asked next time” is also a very correct decision. If you leave the lie as it is, you will call for the next lie in order to make sense, and eventually you will lose trust from those around you. You can break that vicious cycle by taking the plunge and telling the facts.

Even if I just realized that “lies make my heart suffer so much,” this must have been a huge learning. Using the pain gained from this experience as food, I hope you can make use of it in your future words and actions, and spend peaceful days from now on.

There's no point in showing off your face. Don't hurt your sister's honor

Maybe I had no choice but to answer in line with the flow of the story, but since it's a family private matter, there's no need to respond to someone who is only in the position of a colleague. What's more, it would be a pity for me, who felt ashamed of my sister's life. This is a pity for the older sister, isn't it?

The lie itself is also a problem, but when you show off your good looks, you are in a relationship where you overdo it.
From now on, you too will get married, and your friendship will expand. There are also many people in the world who look good and take mounts. Make sure you don't get swallowed up by it.

However, it would also be strange to correct it. Does that mean you're a liar, or do you think your older sister got divorced? Even though my husband was talking to nice people... there may be people who understand that there was a problem with my older sister.

it's a complicated story...
You'd better confide in “I was lying” as soon as possible. Please don't hurt your sister's honor.

Take it easy. It's about forgetting

Yun-san, please contact us.

My sister, who is 5 years older, told a lie that she was married.

I think it's a common story.

In order to counter unmoral questioning attacks against people of marriageable age around you,

There was no choice but to do that, right?

If you're not married, are you having trouble with your personality?

Did you think that would be something like that?

It's troublesome, right

There is a saying that lies are convenient.

It was a lie to make the situation easier, so

I don't think there's much to worry about.

That's because even Yun-san knows that each person isn't all about getting married.

The surroundings... are in trouble.

If your older sister and the company don't have a point of contact in the future,

You can just leave it as it is.

Are they married again? When asked,

“What about nerds? Were there any siblings? What about marriage? '

It would be nice to hear that.

So, the question had no morals, and you should be annoyed that this is a burden.

Let's just forget it.
The other side isn't that attached either.

It's an extra thank you, isn't it?

Let's take it easy and come.
