Hmmm...this is why its often bad to link your business to your personal life. Especially if the woman is as immature as she sounds. I mean, someone banning her from snapchat and her having to create a fake one to still look is a red flag to me, and being dumb enough to not use another email account is as well. The lies too wouldve pissed me off. Immature employee/gf with dishonesty is as well. Personally, I'd end the work relationship just as if she were a regular employee; she used my business account for foolishness, then lied when discovered. As a gf too, I'd wonder how she could be dishonest, the trust would be gone and the rs would crumble. But thats me. I'd be pissed and disappointed my gf was engaging in such foolishness, especially with my business involved. Plus...the lies....ehhh
Expanding on the above.
This is a matter of continuing a small lie that seems harmless in the beginning until it escalates to a very large scale and it needs to be revealed. From this point on, you will be questioning not only her judgment but her character also. Have you been sort of critical towards her in a way that she is hesitant to open up and reveal to you small things being afraid of your reaction? Well, of course had it been anyone else the employer she might have acted the same way and try to hide her error.
As an employer you would be ending your professional relationship with your employee. However being your girlfriend it makes things much more complicated. It will definitely have impact on your relationship if you terminate her. On the other hand you could forgive her and give her a warning but you wouldn't trust her neither professionally nor personally. Adding to the fact that she REPEATELY lied about it.
She knows that you are angry but reply and let her know that you are thinking about the whole situation. Then see if she will genuinely apologise and explain you by herself why she did that and why she lied. You will have to decide if she has the integrity for something serious long term. Take some more time to cool down if that is what you need
