My new girlfriend has no faith in me and it’s ruining things between us

DEAR DEIDRE: I’VE found messages on my girlfriend’s phone dismissing me as ‘a seven out of 10’. She’s also been arranging a night out with another guy. 

I’m gutted.

I’m 28 and my girlfriend is 26. I ended a ten-year relationship with my 29-year-old ex, to be with her.

My ex and I both admitted that we’d drifted apart.

Although we split up I couldn’t afford to move out of our rented flat immediately but my new girlfriend wasn’t happy with the arrangement.

Last week she turned up at the flat to ask my ex if we were still sleeping together. My ex was fuming and told her we most definitely were not.

It’s eating away at me though as it shows that my new girlfriend doesn’t believe me.

She moved in on my family, quizzing my sister and my cousin about whether I could be faithful.

Trust’s a big thing and clearly, she doesn’t trust me and now I don’t think I can trust her either.

DEIDRE SAYS: You’re not going to be able to ignore the texts. Her mistrust may have come from being hurt in the past, but you don’t score points by cheating on somebody yourself.

Confront her about the messages and ask what she is looking for. Tell her you want to commit to her but she needs to show she can be faithful too.

If you are prepared to wipe the slate clean and start again, you have a chance but if she raises your suspicions about her infidelity, walk away.
