Just be straight with him.I've been in a similar situation before and my b/f was just happy that I was honest with him.He didn't get mad about the lie at all.Honesty is the best policy,no matter the consequences!

Tell her you're sorry for your mistake and say to her that you've\nlearned from it. If she's a friend then she'll accept your apology.\nIf not,she won't  and you'll know where you stand.

Lies are always the worst course of action, ALWAYS.  So, what do you do?  You have to accept it.  You lied to her and there's no way to erase it.  Apologize to her.  Tell her you know that it was wrong to lie to her and that you're very sorry.  Try to explain to her why you lied.  Don't make it about how you were afraid of her reaction -- make it about how you were too cowardly to stand up and be honest.  She'll appreciate that more, but if she doesn't want to hear it don't force it on her.  Tell her that you understand why she needed to break off the relationship, but that you still love her and you will do everything you possibly can to rebuild the trust in your relationship, even if it is just to have the possibility of having a best friend in her because she is worth it.  Then DO it.  Let her vent to you about if she needs to... if she snaps and says something cruel and hard to take like, "It's too bad you're such a liar..."  Even though it makes you feel indignant and unfairly judged, don't react to it.  You broke her heart and to her heart, you are a liar...   Apologize if she does that, and tell her you never meant to hurt her, you were just afraid you weren't up to her standards... \n\nEtc, etc, etc...   Oh, and don't do any of this if you're not genuine (i.e. a liar).  She doesn't deserve any more heartbreak...

Apologize, apologize, apologize.\nThen just be honest and talk to him. Will he take your calls? If so just tell him what you just told us, that he is the best thing that has happened to you, and that you made a mistake, while under the influence and that it will never happen again, that you don't want to lose him as a friend, or as the man you love. \n\nAsk him has hasn't he ever done something he truly regrets in a moment of weakness and bad judgement. We all have to grow and learn life lessons as we go

Thats not good you lied to your boyfriend, and went to your EXBOYRFRIENDs house! How can you do that to him? Why did you go anyway? How would you feel like it if he lied to you and told you he was going home, but went to his ex's house? Im sure you wouldnt be dandy! You can lose someones trust in a nana second! And it is s h i t y hard to get that trust back. And if the relationship doesnt have trust and honesty...than that relatiosnhip is   b u l l   s h i t!\n\n\nAnd for your other question, that your boyfriend found you in your boyfriends car, and he accuses you of cheating. Yes. He has a right to. If you wanted to go pick up your stuff, than you shouldve gone with your man!! your killing your relationship sweety, and thats not fair for him! \n\nSo make up your mind and stop hurting your bf and lying to him.

In my opinion he didn't mean it. Instead of apologizing it was a mistake, he said he didn't remember saying it. Some people don't have enough courage to admit. Forget is the easiest excuse which save him from explaining anything. You deserve someone better!

god thats embarrassing.. tell the guy who recieved the note that your really sorry but it wasnt meant for him. then tell the guy the note was actually for what you need to say face to face.

I don't think you're overreacting at all. If he can easily lie about the small, stupid stuff, then it makes it that much easier for him to lie about big stuff like cheating. And if he's lying about going somewhere, then he probably didn't want you to know he was there and who he was with. I wouldn't trust him, which it doesn't sound like you do. Do you really want to be with someone you don't trust? Having to constantly worry that he's lying to you or cheating on you? Trust me it's not worth the effort. It'll just make you crazy! You deserve better!

well u shouldnt worry about something that happened 2 mon. ago just leave it alone. Just because he lied once doenst mean he'll do it again.and if he does leave him

well just tell her its best to be honest. Tell her that you are sorry and that you should have listened to her but you are only young once. And as young  adults you are allowed to make mistakes. But you should be honest with her as to why you felt that you just had to go and tell her what happend and why you were home so late. The worst thing you could do is to lie to her. She might find out later and you will get in more trouble. So just suck it up and just tell her, she was young once too and I'm sure she made her share of mistakes. Good luck.

When i accidentally hit my bf while flicking my hair.  Yes i was really sorry.\nWhen i spilled coffee on the counter.  Yes i was really sorry.\nWhen i have a car accident and it's my fault..yes i am really sorry.\nWhen i flipped through slides too fast for other people to follow.  I said i was sorry as i went back to let them catch up (i am a teacher and use power points)\nWhen i had to cancel a date with a friend because my bf's car was in the shop.  Not really sorry then, i really don't like that friend that much and was just as happy to skip the activity.  More of a social nicety to say it.\n\nAlso in my emotional life i do not conduct myself in a way that i have to apologise for.  I don't yell or belittle people or get drunk and throw up on people's carpet.  Most of the things i apologise for are somewhat inadvertent.

We need more details to help you out here.  The best I can do with what I know about your situation is a general appology.  Be sincere, and don't try to explain your side of it.  If you do, this may come accross as an excuse.  If you are truely sorry for what you did then say so and never say, "I'm sorry but...".  This will make the person think you don't really mean it.  Take full responsibility for your actions and admit what you did was wrong.  Ask them to look down deep in their heart and please forgive you.  Remind them of what your relationship means to you and how important they are to you.  Finish the letter by saying over again, "I really am sorry for hurting you.  I will do what ever it takes to earn your trust and restore our relationship."\n\nGood Luck!

well, sorry to tell you this but it's all depends on your partner..but here's what yOu can do. First of all never starts anything with lies. no matter how hard it seems, no matter how bad they'll hate you after, dont lie. say anything you want to say, say everything you have to say, and never try to make things better with saying, "it's not you, it's just me..." and other self-blame-cliche-excuses...and let them know that you still want to have a good relationship with them cuz no matter what they still a part of you right? but then again, you have to respect their decision if they refuse you at first cuz it's really tough to accept the fact that you cannot be with someone that you really care...am i making a point? dont think bout it too much..time heals..

He want's you to be what you were before you argued, but he's not sure how to do that. I don't know who was wrong becasue you didn't write anything here, but I suspect he may think that you owe him a sincere apology.\n\nJust a theory. If you were wrong somehow, it's a bigger person to be able to say you are sorry.

Truthfully, it depends on what you did.  But if you haven't already, try apologizing to her.  It may sound too simple, but girls have more respect for a guy who can admit he's wrong.  Just tell her that you know you were a jerk, but you are sorry and that you would really love another chance to try and work things out.  If you are genuinely apologetic, your sincerity will show and she might decide to give you a chance.   Just make sure that you continue the good behavior after you get back together!  And if the apology doesn't work, you might have to accept that the relationship isn't meant to be (at least for right now).   Good luck!
