Hi. I need advice and possible feedback on my next move. Starting February I’ve been talking to 2 girls. By March my ex girl asked that we be friends and I agreed. I started liking one of the girls I was talking to more than the other so I asked her to be exclusive and left the other but before that I had an unfortunate night that i ended up sleeping over on my ex girlfriend’s couch that night and we platonically kept chatting for a while but I never told the girl I asked to be exclusive about it and each time I refere to my ex to her I would use her real name but not her title so she doesn’t know it’s my ex. I later cut ties with my ex and deleted her contact and texts cos she over stepped boundaries and attempted a romantic act. The girl I’m exclusive with later discovered the deleted texts in my recycled bin and noticed that she was actually my ex and I had slept over her place so she went mute on me cos she said I cheated and lied to her. Should I apologize and if so did I cheat? do you think reconciliation is hopeless ?
