This is going to be very embarrassing and I know it’s breakup territory. So, long story short: me and my gf have been dating for a little more than one year now, we used to be friends before and we were very close so we talked about pretty much anything, even intimacy. She asked me if I’ve ever had sex and I told her yes, when in reality I was a virgin because I didn’t want her to think I’m lame (and I know, that’s very immature but I was ashamed of being a virgin at my age). Obviously, I didn’t think much of it and I surely did not think we would end up dating. But we did, just a couple of weeks after that actually. She was my first time and she doesn’t know. Throughout the relationship she asked more questions about it and the lie just got bigger and bigger bc I was scared of telling her the truth. Well lately she’s been feeling very insecure about this bc of her retroactive jealousy, we’ve been fighting a lot because of this and my “past experiences“ and she’s feeling very bad. All because of NOTHING at all. I wanna come clean I really cannot do this anymore. I know this is very much breakup worthy and I wanna brace myself first. Any idea of how I should tell her? I think it’s going to be hard for her to even believe me

EDIT: I did end up telling her and she was actually relieved. We talked about it and she laughed it off

I need to build my portfolio as a translator, I’m currently in my last year of a degree in linguistics (I’m a native Italian speaker, studying English). I have some experience as an interpreter, but I’m much more interested in games localization as that’s my personal field of interest. I’m willing to work for free just to expand my portfolio and get ready for bigger jobs once I graduate. Does anyone know where can I start? I’m not sure if this is the right subreddit but it’s worth a shot.
