Hey I need some advice. My gf and I have been together for about 1 year and a half now and the other day I let her borrow my car. While she was borrowing my car she found an old love note from old parnter from 3 years ago that was still in my driver side of the door where I'm always at. It was in a little small cloth string bag that I've had in my car for over 3 years and I genuinely forgot it was in there still.
The problem is that my gf thinks that it could be recent and I'm potentially cheating on her and I'm getting love notes from another girl still. It doesn't have a date on it prove the timeline and she has an issue with it being in my driver side as opposed to being an old love note that was in a storage box which from her perspective she thinks I was either holding onto it to look at or like I said I got it recently which mean I would be being unfaithful.
Its honestly a complete misunderstanding and I wish I had remembered it was in my car sooner and thrown it out before we even started dating.
TL,DR
She is having a hard time trusting me now and 3 of her friends said it looks really bad and that I could potentially be cheating/ lying to her.
I dont know what to do besides deny everything and take responsibility for forgetting it was in my car and not throwing it out sooner. It really sucks because I'm being genuine and honest but everyone thinks I'm in the wrong and maybe I'm not looking at it from her perspective enough but I feel terrible about this whole thing and it could potentially end things between us.
Anyways thanks for reading this. Any advice would be appreciated ❤️
