Imagine being ghosted while laying in the same bed...

“My boyfriend thinks I fall asleep really early every night. I don’t.

I pretend to be asleep because once I say I’m going to bed, he suddenly wants to have his deepest conversations. He’ll start asking things like, ‘Where do you see us in five years?’ or telling me a 20-minute story about something that happened at work.

So now I say goodnight, turn over and pretend I’m asleep. The problem is, I’ve been doing it for so long that I’ve become really good at it.

Last night he whispered, ‘I know you’re awake,’ and I STILL didn’t move.

I love him. I just don’t want to discuss our future at 11:30 at night. Do I finally admit I’ve been fake-sleeping for months, or do I take this secret to the grave?”

Stacey and J Sbu put the confession to KZN, and Brandon from Morningside, Lungelo and Justin weighed in on whether she needs to finally come clean or keep committing to the performance.
