Hi Lucia,

I was online recently when my ex, who is friends with my current boyfriend, came online and started to flirt with me. I flirted back. I lied to my boyfriend, saying I was going to bed.  A few hours later he found out from my ex that we were flirting when he thought I was sleeping.

That’s when he started to not trust me. He doesn’t treat me the same anymore. He talks to me harshly, calling me a cheap girl, disgusted, and more. I want to make it up to him. I want to have a healthy relationship with him like we used to, but I don’t know how. Diashdak

 

Hi Diashdak,

He has every right to not trust you. You’re supposed to be in a relationship with him and here you are flirting with your ex. Are you sure you’re over him?

You need to ask your guy what you can do to regain his trust. Then you need to follow through and be where you say you’re going to be, doing what you said you would be doing. If he’s willing to give you a second chance, you can slowly regain his trust that way.

As for the ex, I think he’s trying to break the two of you up. I would stay far, far away from him.
