My little white lie has ruined my relationship
DEAR DEIDRE: I stupidly lied to my ex about having a new boyfriend, but my boyfriend found out and now he won’t forgive me.
My little white lie has ruined my relationship and I don’t know what to do.
I’m 18 and my boyfriend is 19. My ex is also 18.
I was with my ex for three years, and I broke up with him because I fell out of love.
He was so upset that when I met my new boyfriend I told him I was still single – just so I didn’t hurt him more.
But my new boyfriend thinks it means I don’t care about him.
He says I’m just using him and must still want my ex – which isn’t true.
We’re arguing and on the brink of breaking up.

DEIDRE SAYS: You told your white lie with the best of intentions but you’ve sent mixed signals to your boyfriend who now feels insecure.
He’s also questioning your commitment to him.
You need to reassure him that you want him and you only lied to save your ex’s feelings.
My support pack, Looking After Your Relationship, should help.
