When you lie you often have to keep lying. Share your pain. When I was 15 I pretended to be 16 to help get a summer job. Then had to spend a summer with this nice shopkeeper asking me everyday if I was excited about getting my GCSE results. I felt like an utter shit. Thanks to MerseyMal for the suggestion.

The background was necessary for the context.
If I'd simply said "My friend told his friend that my wife was born a man, and it's gone on too long to admit it was just a joke" - then the reader would not have known the reason for the joke, or why it was so funny.
