Does anyone have any suggestions of how I could convince her to let me gain her trust back? I have been to therapy, and now have new tools to be honest. I grew up in a house where lying was common, and like a secret between me and my mother. I also was punished unporpotionately to the things I did. ( I left my book bag on my floor, and I was grounded from all priveleges including my car for six months) I used to be terrified to fess up to things and would lie instead. I do not do this anymore, but I did it long enough for my partner to not trust me anymore. Any suggestions, comments, criticism is welcome and prefered.
