Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I’ve been in a new relationship for a few months. My partner loves me very much. She’s met my mom, friends, etc. 

About a month ago, we talked about infidelity in past relationships. I had an affair while in a long distance relationship and prefer not to talk about it. Specifically, the woman I cheated on. 

My ex girlfriend and I still text and call sometimes. It’s mostly memes but I feel she’s my friend and I care about her. She’s been having a hard time with things. I feel like things are winding down with us and she’s expressed to me recently that she is coming to accept she and I will not be in a relationship. 

My current partner recently returned from a month long trip abroad and found that I had video called my ex while she was gone. She became very upset upon finding out that I was still in contact with my ex, even though I feel it was harmless. My partner had asked me in our previous conversations about cheating whether things were resolved, and wanted to be connected on social media before her trip. I accepted her invite to follow her Instagram, but I use it sparingly. 

I know my partner is uncomfortable with my past, but I don’t feel like I need to share everything when I’m not about to cheat again. She keeps saying that I’m hiding things from her. Like the real reason I didn’t want to appear on social media together was because my ex does not know about my current partner. 

Relationships are tricky and I wanted to be able to share things on my own terms, but my partner feels lying is a dealbreaker. AITA?
