Ever since I told my girlfriend a little white lie she has lost all faith in me
DEAR DEIDRE: I TOLD my girlfriend a white lie to protect her feelings, but now she says she can’t ever trust me again.
It was a silly mistake. I love her and want things to go back to how they were.
We’re both 18 and have been together for two years.
She gets jealous, so when I got a text from my ex, I lied and said it was from my mum.
She asked to see my phone and when she saw who the text was from, she burst into tears, accusing me of wanting my ex back.
I’ve explained and said sorry for lying so many times. How can I get things back on track?

DEIDRE SAYS: Jealousy comes from insecurity.
Reassure your girlfriend of what she means to you. Say you will be open and honest from now on – and prove it.
But you need to be patient, as trust takes time to rebuild.
