I [18F] lied to my 9 month partner [34M] and I'm not sure how to gain his trust back.

For the first point: It's complicated. My parents are... "different". I won't get into details, but don't like me to have partners, and if they can't avoid it, they just show it to me that they don't like it. If I told them directly about him, they would simply take my phone and my computer and I wouldn't be able to talk to him.

Second: When we started speaking (It was because of a debate club, we had to ask for advice about something related to immigrants) I didn't know his age, and he didn't know mine. That was for nearly four months, and when we "discovered" it (It's not that we kept it a secret, but we simply didn't ask), we just didn't care. He's "he", and I'm "I", and I don't think something created for four months can simply disappear because of that. And no, he doesn't have a childish attitude. It's the first time he's with someone younger than him.

Third: I know I'm not responsible for his happiness, and my presence makes him happier. I'm just looking for a way to "mend" what I did, if there is any. If there isnt', then, nevermind!
