Apologise, say you were an idiot, come up with some BS about being afraid of commitment at the time, not wanting to get hurt, then **** the hell out of her.
Good advice, except for one problem: While I was ****ing multiple girls, I had no problems having great sex with her (and the other girls). Now that I've committed to her as my only girlfriend, I frequently lose my erection during sex...

You can't be expected to apologize for the same thing twice, if you were sincere the first time.
The two of you, together, have to find a way to create trust again. And this has nothing to do with apologies or telling the truth or any stupid **** like that.
She has to understand what she is to you. She has to understand that she is a meaningful part of your life, and not just someone you use for your own pleasure (assuming that's actually true).
And then, once you make her understand that, it's her responsibility to actually trust you.
Good advice as well... I thought that I was doing a god job with making her understand her importance to me. I thought I had earned that trust and she had given that trust - until yesterday. Knowing her, her biggest issue with me right now is not that I lied to her on Valentines Day, but that I did not immediately confess everything to her on demand yesterday.. And I suppose if we were really communicating like a healthy couple, I would have just come out with it all without concern for trying to "spin" things..

Grovel, I guess. Or accept that you blew it and move on.

I dont think I'll grovel, but I will have to spend a lot of time reassuring her... I hate that I'm always doing damage control with her... It's my own fault, I guess..
It is likely that I'll have to move on. Hope I can salvage things though...

You're a ****ing idiot for not cleaning out your inbox. Nothing else here matters. Drop and give me 20.
Make it 40, then PM MrFun for relationship advice.

Wow, all these replies and nobody has offered the customary, obvious advice: "Don't ask romantic advice from people on the internet." Really, it's just a matter of probabilities being against you. People in stable, long-term relationships they're enjoying are a lot less likely to be spending lots of time online than bitter celibates and "players," which are the two main flavors Polytubbies come in. I'm not saying you won't get good advice, end of story, but the odds are against it.
Especially on a website devoted to gaming, fer crying out loud. Men with steady girlfriends or wives rarely spend tons of time playing Civ, followed by tons more time posting on the internet about playing Civ.
Oh, right, constructive advice. Well, my only romantic prospect is a girl I've only met online (surprise), and will be meeting in person in about two weeks*. I've been pretty much completely honest with her (I only don't tell her about obviously wrong things to share, such as what the hot foreign-exchange students are wearing today). The result is that I'm with someone I know I can communicate with, having discussions I actually care about.
Why some people want to build up an elaborate farce so that each date or conversation is an exercise in drama and it takes you weeks to realize you're not compatible with a girl, I'll never know. Even with the whole "player" angle, one would think the sex would be better without the load of emotional baggage.
*At this point, I predict I will get at least one(1) reply telling me to "bring a 40," and several others full of lewd jokes. It's the nature of the beast.
Actually, it's common for men with steady girlfriend and wives to seek a refuge from their partners. In older times this might've been through fishing or some other quiet sport, but now we men have a better, easier way of distracting ourselves from the horrors of modern relationships!

1. youve already made her angry by lying
2. she is angry again from said lie.
3. she obviously doesnt trust you even if she forgives you
4. there are women out there that wont pull 1-3 on you.
5. dont F up in the next relationship.
