Dear MIMsters: Am I Justified to Feel This Way About My Bae?

I just want to know if I am justified with my feelings about my discovery about Bae.

Before I go on, let me first appreciate this platform for inspiring me. I have been sharing stories from this platform with friends and I must admit that it has helped so many people I know.

I am 25 years old and a graduate. I have been with my boyfriend for 10 months now and it’s been ten months of bliss. He is the answer to everything I have ever requested for in a man. I must admit, I love him with the deepest parts of me. LOL! Bae is a business man who deals in fabrics. In the early stages of the relationship, he told me he works for someone but I was marveled at how much confidence his boss has in him because he allows Bae do all the buying.

Bae travels out every month for this.

Recently, I paid a visit to my tailor to collect a dress and he saw Bae’s picture on my screen. Out of excitement, he told me he knew Bae and even mentioned his name. I did not in anyway tell him about our relationship, but the man went ahead to tell me Bae once jointly had a shop with someone but they had a little problem which separated them and Bae now runs his own shop alone.

I took a picture of my tailor and later sent the picture to Bae, asking if he knew the man and he said yes.

My problem is why did he hide the fact that he owns that shop from me? Up till now, I believed we had nothing to hide from each other as I tell him everything. Is he afraid I will become too demanding? I work and can take care of myself. Everything I have ever received from him came as a gift and I always appreciate the little things he does for me.

I haven’t confronted him with this piece information yet but it hurts me so much that he hides things from me. Could it also be he is hiding other things from me?
