Have you ever discovered a secret about someone you were dating? I found out that a man I’d been seeing for several years had lied about his age by 15 years and was married. Neither bothers me that much, though!

Maezawa from the Corporate Planning Office here, answering as well. If he lied about his age by 15 years, then yes, he was lying to you. That said, many men want to make themselves seem younger. It may seem unfair that women’s actual ages are automatically calculated and displayed accurately from their dates of birth, while men get to fudge theirs—but the world is full of unfair things, so it may be best to accept that this is just how it is. As for him being married, if he never told you anything about it, then I suppose you simply learned a secret about him. But if he said he was single and turned out to be married, then I’d say he lied to you. Being lied to is disappointing, but if that isn’t the case, then the best thing is probably not to worry about it.

I’m だて◎ゆめ, a male member. Even in relationships where both people are fully aware of each other, I think there are still plenty of things one doesn’t know about the other. I don’t make a point of trying to know everything, so there aren’t any particular secrets I’ve discovered. Everyone has plenty of things in their past, but I’m focused on facing the present.
