Faking it
Rakky writes, "We've all done it. From qualifications to orgasms, everyone likes to play 'let's pretend' once in a while."
So when have you faked it? Did you get away with it? Or were your mendacious ways exposed?

Speaking as a parent
(although mine are a good bit younger than you) they may well suspect more than you think.
Parents often choose to "decline to acknowledge" things which they hope will be temporary. In your case, as marriage would make it acceptable (in their eyes, not mine) they may well hope that you get there in the end and turn a blind eye in the meantime.
The old saying "What the eye doesn't see the heart doesn't grieve for" has more than a grain of truth ....
When my girls are grown I'd hate to think they could be this involved with someone I'd never even met. I'm not criticising you - I understand (at least partly), having gone up the aisle with my mother "choosing to believe" I was as pure as the driven snow. She didn't ask, I didn't tell!
Good luck!
