I'm going to surprise my boyfriend with a visit in my hometown and I didn't tell my family about it.
Why didn't you tell your family about it?
They don't really like my boyfriend.
I don't think it's fair to your family to keep secrets from them. If they find out about it it will end up hurting them.
Honestly, I don't really care what they think.
I understand you really want to spend time with your boyfriend, but lying about it isn't the right way to go about it. You should be honest with your family of what your intentions are that way you don't risk hurting them.
