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?

It's great that you want to address this! Start by having an open, honest conversation with her. Explain your reasons for wearing the insoles—it's about your confidence, not deceit. Acknowledge her feelings and reassure her that you value her for who she is, not for height. Emphasize that your connection is what matters most. Together, you can discuss how to rebuild trust and move forward in your relationship. Communication is key!
