I [21m] have been slightly lying to my bf [22m] about my date of birth the whole time.

My now bf and I started out as FWBs. You have to understand that i already loved this guy, he was my bi awakening and remains, the only boy ive ever been intimate with.
However, I wanted to see if he'd even be interested in anything romantic with me so i poked around and got him to mention among other things that he wouldn't want to date someone who was a full year or more younger than him. His only interest for guys "that young" is sexual.

We already knew each other's ages but not our birthdays so i asked him his. Turns out he's 1 year and 6 days older than me but I didnt wanna lose him and i knew we'd be good together if he could just look past that. So when he asked for my birthday, I lied by slightly adjusting the date by 8 days. He laughed at the coincidence and later that evening I asked him on our 1st proper date.

Fast forward 10 months, and things are beyond great between us, the relationships ive had with girls dont even come close to comparing to what we have. Our birthdays are coming up and my friends and family are in on the lie and they think the situation is hilarious and are fully prepared to throw a party on my fake birthday to keep up the ruse.
However, this has led to a ton of stress for me. I’ve had to hide all forms of ID from my boyfriend so he doesn’t discover the truth, which is getting increasingly difficult.
We both still get carded so if we're going somewhere with alcohol where they might quiz me on my ID, either I get there first or I drop him off at the entrance so he gets seated to look for parking. I always pay so I'm also paranoid that one of my IDs will fall from my wallet and he'll see it.

Idk how or if to come clean at this point I don’t think the tiny age "gap" would bother him now that he loves me but ik 100% he'd be upset abt the fact that I lied to him for so long abt a basic information about me, he always says abt bad relationships "it all starts with a petty lie".

tldr: lied to reduce an already insignificant age gap so he would date me, everyone's in on it, it's been 10 months and our birthdays are coming soon
