My girlfriend (21F) is upset after discovering that I (26M) wear height insoles. How should we handle this situation?

My girlfriend and I have been together for six months. During this time, I’ve been wearing height-increasing insoles that boost my height by two inches. With them, I reach 5'5", while she is 5'3". I chose to wear them for a confidence boost when I’m with her. However, now she’s upset after discovering the insoles, feeling as though I've deceived her. How can we move forward from this?

One evening, I sat down with my girlfriend, holding the insoles in my hands. “I never wanted to hide this from you,” I said softly. “I wore them to feel more confident around someone as amazing as you.” Her eyes softened. We talked it out, sharing insecurities. In the end, it brought us closer, proving our love thrives on honesty.
