If I put considerable time between what I ' ve done and when I meet the man I want to spend my life with , I don ' t think past mistakes will be as relevant as they feel now . Still , I ' m hesitant to lie about my history to a potential partner for two reasons It ' s likely that the truth will be found out later on in the relationship . I don ' t want him to feel like he can ' t trust me . Also , I would feel guilty for lying . Maybe I shouldn ' t feel guilty since I would only be lying to protect my interests , but I would . I don ' t have any moral qualms about lying , I just doubt it will pay off longterm . Not thinking about longterm consequences is how I got here in the first place . <| sep |> Treaty Gas on Caldwell Rd .
