I have been dating this guy that I met on tinder about 8 months ago. Things have been going really well. I like him, he likes me, I was surprised to find someone so decent. In the way beginning his profile said he worked in the oil fields, which I thought was super cool…he has kept up with this story for the past 8 months of us dating. Even so much as going away for weeks at a time “for work”. Today, I found out he actually worked at MCDONALDS and now I don’t know how to feel. I feel like I like him less due to his job…or maybe its because I found out he lied to me…idk…how do I even approach him about this? I don’t get why he would lie about it and keep up this whole lie.

Yeah. That’s a deal breaker. Where is he going when he is away for “work”? If he had just said that he worked at McDonald’s, that wouldn’t be a deal breaker for me … keeping up a lie that long RED FLAG

He’s obviously embarrassed about his job because of your exact reaction. Though, he still definitely lied. Leave him be, and move on.

maybe it’s a side job??
Sounds like he lied because you may be high maintenance and look down on people who work in certain areas and he could tell. He may have been working in the oil fields in the beginning and something may happened and he needed a different job so he got one at McDonald’s. Maybe actually sit down and talk to him about why he lied and once you get to the reason on why then go from there.

It was a good 8 months but byeeee. Regardless if you’d like him no katter which job he had but at this point he’s been lying for 8 months. That’s enough to walk away. That’s a long time to keep up with a lie! Nope. No way.

You got to be kidding. What did you expect. It’s the Internet.
Run my ex did the same and eventually found he was a pathological liar
So where has he been going for weeks at a time?? I seriously think this might be a crazy ex of mine… He probably has another complete life somewhere else…

He shouldn’t have lied but would you have continued to date him if you knew he worked at McDonald’s? His job shouldn’t matter and just because he lied about his job doesn’t mean he lied about anything else.

Thing is …you don’t know if he lied because he’s embarrassed about his job …or lied so he has an excuse to take off and cheat saying the same bull story to the other woman …regardless …to be able to keep up a facade like that is frightening …I sincerely doubt it’s the first time and not just about the job either

He’s lied to you the entire relationship, where he worked wouldn’t make me end things, the fact that he lied for almost a year most definitely would.

Or maybe, just maybe he was embarrassed where he worked and he didn’t want judgement. A lie is a lie of course. But some people don’t have self confidence. I’d just talk to him about it. At least he’s making money… And not an illegal way:woman_facepalming:t2: not every lie is pointed at being evil and malicious. It could just be a self esteem thing.

Run! If you can’t trust him and he’ll lie about something as inconsequential as work that really doesn’t matter in the larger scheme of things, you have no future foundation for trust and will always wonder what he’s lying about.

Ask yourself, would you have given him a chance if he was honest with you? The answer, I’m sure is no. He potentially was worried about this and got caught up in a lie. At least he works. Don’t be shallow.

I would talk to him have him come clean he’s just embarrassed of his job it’s a guy thing give him a chance
I would like to think it’s due to his lying and not the fact of his place of work, because that just makes you sound like a gold digger and just worried about the money. But either way, I would confront him about it - and if it were me, I’d walk right through those McDonald’s doors and make sure we connected eyes; no drama, no words, just that look to get across that “Jig is up. You got caught. We’ll chat about this later”.
Edited:
And why his lying? Tinder. Booty. Dogs will lie to get what they want. And he got he wanted, so continued the lie.

I’d end it. There’s nothing wrong with working at McDonald’s but lying to you especially for that long is a huge issue. And where was he going or what was he doing when he was going away for weeks? You can’t have a good relationship without trust and you can’t trust someone who has no issue lying to you

I would be upset too that he lied but he was probably embarrassed. Going away for weeks at a time is kinda fishy since we know that’s bs too; but I also kind of think that you could be shallow for liking him less because he doesnt have a good job like you thought. A job is a job, no matter where you work.

Firstly he is obviously insecure about his job because many woman are gold diggers.
But…. Because he lied what else would he lie about - red flag!
If it’s the job that attracted you to him that says more about you than him and you need to reflect on that and improve your attitude towards mens financial statuses and why a job of another person would rate so much higher than the man himself.
Have a discussion with him about why he felt the need to lie about his occupation and go from there.

Like if he committed and financially put himself out, to cover this lie.
Then I’m guessing he was probably embarrassed about where he works.
He has a job, that’s already a massive positive regardless where.

It’s hard to get over a lie. A real genuine person could work anywhere ( respectable ) & that’s great. The days of being embarrassed by where you work are/should be long over with what’s going on in this world. But again, that lie is gonna be a tough thing to get over. Talk to him… make sure that’s the only thing being fabricated… if he didn’t lie to you about working at McDonald’s, would you even consider dating him? I hope, but from the looks of the word McDonald’s all in CAPS, I wonder? Maybe you need to ask yourself that and perhaps it’s not a good fit…for both of you.
