Lying doesn’t really help anyone in the long run, so you should ask your girlfriend why she wants you to do this and what it means for her parents.

My boyfriend has been looking at objectionable videos, and I don’t know how to confront him. He will say I am a prude, but I am genuinely not comfortable, and it is making me question our whole relationship. We have been together for a year, and I don’t think I want to be with someone who thinks it’s okay to watch this kind of stuff. Am I being unreasonable? He is a great boyfriend which is why I keep asking myself if I am looking at the wrong reasons for being in a relationship. What should I do?
You should listen to yourself and trust yourself more because if you aren’t comfortable about something, it’s okay to feel that way. He may choose to dismiss you as prudish but that would be a mistake because it implies that your feelings aren’t valid if they aren’t compatible with how he sees the world. You should be allowed to call him out if something offends you, and the onus of addressing this concern is on him. Be honest about this, don’t shy away from calling it out, and base your decision about a future with him on how he reacts to what you have to say. A relationship that compels someone to stay silent isn’t going to last long despite how much love there appears to be.
I am supposed to meet my girlfriend’s parents for the first time, and she wants me to lie to them and tell them that I have a more senior job than I actually do. Is this a bad idea?
Lying doesn’t really help anyone in the long run, so you should ask your girlfriend why she wants you to do this and what it means for her parents. If they can’t accept you for who you are, this is going to be a bigger problem in the future, and what she is trying to do is simply delay the inevitable. If you aren’t comfortable starting this meeting with a lie, don’t do it.
