I have no trust in my girlfriend since I found out she cheated
DEAR DEIDRE: IT'S been impossible to trust my girlfriend since I found out she’d cheated.
She lied to my face about it and now I can’t believe anything she says. It’s turning me into an angry, insecure person, who I don’t recognise.
I’m 19 and she’s 18. We’ve been together for a year, since we started university.
When we got together she was chatting to a guy from home. She said it was over - but she carried on messaging him behind my back.
I found out when a text from him popped up on her phone.
Since then, she’s done everything to make things right but I can’t forget what happened, and we keep rowing.
I really want to trust her again, but don’t know how to.

Talking about this to someone impartial, like a counsellor, could help
