hmmmm. I could be TOTALLY wrong on this, and if I am, please just disregard my post, LOL. From reading your posts, it sounds to me like you may live an "alternative" lifestyle that you are afraid will bring judgement upon you from your colleagues. You dont want to tell them, and yet you dont want to lie. If this is the case, then this is a situation that will come up throught your entire life, and you probably need to just be honest with them.....especially if you are planning on staying there long term. If this is not the case, then you should probably know that being secretive will bring people to possibly come to this conclusion about you. and (as has been said before) sharing some information is better than being totally closed. For the record, I work with several nurses with alternative lifestyles so to speak.....and everyone gets along just fine. They are not hiding it or skirting the issue though.....if they did, there would probably be more rumor mill talk. I am just saying. I hope I made my point and did not sound harsh....I didnt mean to.
