DEAR DEIDRE: I CHEATED on my girlfriend with a customer when I
went to fix a leaking pipe and she won’t forgive me.
We’ve been together for eight years and have a five-year-old
son together. I’m 33 and my girlfriend is 31.
We’ve been having a few problems, nothing major but
sometimes I get the impression that my girlfriend doesn’t love me any more.
I’m a plumber and went to an emergency call one night.
The customer had a leaking pipe in her downstairs loo. She
was really pleased to see me as she was worried about the damage the water
could be doing.
I sorted the problem out and she was very grateful. It
turned out she hasn’t got a partner as she’s divorced. She’s 36.
We got chatting and she was really taking an interest in me
and my business.
It made a change as my girlfriend rarely asks me about work.
I was like putty in her hands. We flirted and then we
kissed. It was so passionate and then our hands were all over one another. We
ended up having awesome sex.
We swapped numbers and began texting regularly.
We met just once more, and again the sex was out of this
world. I told her I loved her but I know I didn’t really mean it.
I was just caught up in the lies and deceit. My girlfriend has
always been No1 in my life.
My girlfriend found messages on my phone to this other woman
and it all came out about what I’d done. My girlfriend went mental and ended
our relationship.
She didn’t give me a chance to explain. This happened a
month ago.
I know I made a huge mistake and want her back.
But my girlfriend says she doesn’t love me and doesn’t want
me in her life. I haven’t seen a huge amount of my son either, which breaks my
heart.
I can promise it would never happen again. I just want her
back so badly.
DEIDRE SAYS: I am sure you do but your girlfriend has been
devastated and the damage is done. She sounds as though her mind is made up.
Even so, it is still worth trying to get her to understand
how much you regret what you did. Children benefit if their parents can stay
together – as long as they are happily together – so urge your girlfriend to
give you a chance if only for the sake of your son to start with.
