A Little Lie

I've been feeling really guilty lately about this tiny little lie I told my girlfriend... It wasn't even something big or important, but it's weighing on me more than anything else. We were talking the other day and she asked if I had any plans to meet up with an old friend of mine from college. Now, there are a few reasons why I lied... For one, I don't really like this guy anymore since he moved back home and turned into such a dickhead. Plus, he's always trying to set me up on blind dates with these awful women who think they're better than everyone else just because they got some fancy degree. And the last thing I needed was her thinking about it... So when she asked if we were meeting, I said yes and then felt terrible for weeks after.... I know it's a small thing in the grand scheme of our relationship, but every time I see her talking to him or hear from him through social media, my stomach just twists up inside me. It's like this constant nagging feeling that maybe she'll find out and everything will change... I guess what I'm really saying is that honesty is such a hard thing sometimes even when it seems so simple on the surface.
