Lookback: 1.5 years after discovery

Cheated on my girlfriend after initial insecurity over her past friendship

My past mistake still affects our relationship and I don’t know what the right thing to do is

What I wish I knew
"Being honest about my feelings earlier could have prevented infidelity"
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate openly and work through insecurities together"
