I lied to my partner that I’d given a guy oral sex because he was flirting with my pal
DEAR DEIDRE: I WAS so fed up with my partner flirting with my friend I stupidly told him I’d given a guy at work oral sex.
I am 29 and my partner is 31. It was a boring lockdown evening a couple of weeks ago when my guy started chuckling at his phone.

I snatched it out of his hand and found he was flirting with my friend on WhatsApp.
I messaged her to back off and in a temper told my partner he should be less cocky as I’d given a guy at work a sexy birthday treat.
He went mad and says he’s leaving as soon as he can. I love him. How can I convince him I’m innocent?
DEIDRE SAYS: Tell him how much you love him and that there is no way you would cheat on him but that’s why you found it so distressing that he was flirting with your friend.
I bet he has sometimes said something he regrets when hurt and angry.
If there is real depth to your relationship he will think again when he’s cooled down. If he goes, it was probably only a matter of time.
After all, he really was flirting with your friend.
