βObviously I canβt tell him or anyoneβ is as good as showing an apple without all the worms inside. As hard as it may sound to swallow this (inner me: seems like you have no issues with that considering your polygamy), you have to hold yourself accountable. If you cannot stay true to yourself, you will torment yourself more with it. You can either come clean and stop wasting both your and his time (chances are they will find out - itβs his best friend, after all) or you can continue living in a lie, one that will hit harder as time goes by. It is completely right to feel guilty, meaning you still have your morals in check.
On another note, great nickname pick. It expressed exactly my emotions as I was reading. Went from βI appreciate her expressivenessβ to (censored due to vulgar language).
