My girlfriend found out my secret that my ex-wife and I are not yet divorced. I didn’t tell her that I was still legally married because I was afraid it would become a reason for her to leave me. What I didn’t know was that my ex-wife had already talked to her and told her the truth. My girlfriend got very angry and wanted to break up with me because I lied about my status. I begged her and promised that I would never lie to her again and that I would be honest with her about everything. She forgave me and gave me another chance, but ever since then, the way she treats me has changed. She became cold and no longer updates me like she used to. What should I do?
How do I rebuild trust after lying?

The best thing you can do is to make your separation from your ex-wife official and legal so that your girlfriend can start to trust you again.

Honestly, rebuilding trust after it’s been broken is one of the hardest things to do.

I think what you should do is explain to her that you were just scared she might leave you, and that’s why you didn’t tell her the truth. If she gives you another chance, make sure you take care of everything that needs to be fixed regarding your marriage with your ex-wife.

And from now on, you really need to be transparent with her about everything. You’re partners, and you should be honest with each other. Hopefully, you’ve learned from the mistake you made.

You shouldn’t have done that, but since it already happened, there’s nothing else you can do now except apologize. Try to win her back and give her assurance that you won’t lie to her again. Hopefully, she will still give you another chance.
