-[:cry:]Be dramatic! Give Mami your soulgem (shock and awe, doods). Cry a lot(to let out the bad emotions). Keep cleansing your own Soulgem, if Mami asks why tell it's deadly to let it overfill.
 
Would it be better in the trust department if we give her our soul gem then as we continue the truth we hit her with the bit where she mercy murder everyone as a result of the witchbomb?

I'm going to reiterate my earlier concern:
The Narrator said:
Keep in mind that cleansing her Soul Gem without asking is what provoked her to ribbon us in the first place.

In retrospect, I recall her flinching on previous occasions that we've done that. It clearly makes her uncomfortable, and when she doesn't trust us it possibly even seems like an attack. How about if her Gem gets half full again, we warn her to cleanse her own Gem, and only take matters into our own hands if she ignores it to a suicidal degree?

I have other thoughts, but it'd take too long to type on my phone during a lunch break. I'll come back to it after work.
 
Credit goes to Sayaka for the new ideas. :)

[x] "I... I care for you, Mami. You are very close to my heart. I never wanted to hurt you. I don't want to lose you. I don't know what I would do without you."

[x] Ask her to hear you out.
-[x] "I... I was scared to tell you. At first, I... I went with you because I knew you were a good person who needed a friend... which was why when you offered to let me live with you, I accepted. I knew you were a wonderful person who deserved better. Who deserves better. At the start, I just wanted to help. Fix things and save people. You know me.
-[x] "It... None of that was a lie, Mami. I... Learning from you. Helping save people with you. Being with you. That mattered to me. It matters to me."
-[x] "At first, I was still figuring things out and... didn't know how to tell you. I was scared and didn't know how to say it. It was just... too much, and I was worried about Kyubey finding out. Then there were days when there was just no time, and you were so hurt after you found out Kyubey had been lying to you that I couldn't stomach the idea of potentially making things worse. Of hurting you like that again. And it was easy to let it just stay untold, because in the end, when Kyubey was out of the way and I could have made time to tell you, the real reason why I allowed myself to put it off was because I was scared. Of hurting you, like I just did again. Of confessing that I hadn't told you all this time..."
-[x] "I know I should have said something sooner but... I just didn't know how to tell you. It was tearing me up inside..."

[x] Apologize. Plead for your case.
-[x] "I'm sorry, Mami. I am so, so sorry, more than I can say, for not telling you sooner. You... You matter to me. More... P-probably more than anyone else does. I want... I want you to be happy. I swear. That's the truth. The whole truth. I want you to be happy because you're Mami and you deserve to be."

[x] Ask her, beg her for forgiveness, for the chance to help, to set things right, for that is all you ask, all that you want. To see her happy. To enjoy life with her. For she is dear to your heart. Someone you deeply care for.

[x] If at any point, Mami visibly deteriorates or reacts...
-[x] "Mami? Please, talk to me? I... I don't want to see you hurt like this. Please... I know I don't deserve it, but please? I'm not like...him. I promise. Seeing you like this... hurts me so much..."

[x] Ask permission to cleanse at any point if her gem starts looking bad again. Beg if you have to. You're wiling to humble yourself for her sake.
-[x] If her gem gets really bad, just cleanse, no matter what.

[x] Keep your own gem clean. Continuous cleansing.

[x] With Mami's permission, continue the vote in abeyance.

[X] Keep talking with Mami, maintain as steady a tone as we can. But if we are about to start crying, then don't try to hold it back too much, just enough so we can keep talking.
[X] Discreetly cleanse our own Gem as much as feasible.
[X] Apologize to her, and plead Mami that she listen to what we have to say for ourselves.
-[X] Ask that she at least allows you to keep cleansing her Gem while you're at it. Even if it might seem otherwise, we only wish to help her, because we will never cease caring about her as our precious friend and companion
--[X] If she gets to alarming levels but hasn't given permission, warn her about her Gem insistently. But if the worst comes to pass and she refuses, then bite the bullet and cleanse her anyways.

[X] Apologize to Mami again. Even if we never wanted or intended it, she still got hurt by our thoughtlessness and stupidity.
-[X] Tell her that we're not Kyubey, we are not like him and never have been. We are not using Mami, we just wish to be there with her.
-[X] Explain that the knowledge we had was superficial at best, as if we were shown pictures and told some facts by some outsider. But we had enough in our head, and could recognize her as Mami, the smart and kind veteran Magical Girl and a defender of Justice...
--[X] ...But also as someone who was lonely, had been through much, and needed a friend for herself. So our thoughts upon seeing her were that we could- we needed to help her as much as we could. As such, when Mami asked us to move in with her, we were happy to accept.
-[X] Yet it didn't take long for it to become something more. We genuinely wanted to help her and be there for her... and we wanted to be there with her. It wasn't only about helping anymore, but because the more we got to actually know her, the more we cared about her as a true friend and companion. We couldn't bear the thought of leaving her, it was unthinkable for us.
--[X] So then we became afraid of telling her. We thought that she would start hating us if we told about this, and tell us to leave. At first, we tried excusing it to ourselves by not wanting Kyubey to know. But then when he was gone, it became harder and harder to justify. We didn't want her to be hurt by it, but not telling would be deceiving both her and ourselves. So she deserved to know, even if she would start to hate us.
[X] Apologize again, for being a stupid idiot who can't even tell this without ending up hurting her.

Damage control time! Here's my take for it.

I really think it's time to shove the long votes into a corner and try and be as straight to the point as possible, while addressing Mami's fears as well as possible.

I'd go with [] Godwinson but I want to try my hand at this.

"W-why," she whispers, shaking you roughly. "Why? W-why- y-you- why?"

[X] Keep an eye on your Soul Gems. If you need to cleanse, warn Mami first. Plead if she won't let you cleanse her.
[X] "Why do I always hurt you? I don't know, I hate it. It hurts. I just wanted to help, I thought I was helping everyone I could- until I didn't, I don't. I don't help everyone I can because I'd rather spend my time with you."
[X] You just didn't know what to do. If you had tell her this sooner... would she had pushed you away?
-[X] Will she push you away now? This is what scares you. You don't want to leave. You want to stay here, with Mami, and keep living together and being friends... more than friends. She's more than a friend to you, and you can't stand being compared to that evil rat.
[X] You're sorry. Apologize. You can't apologize enough.
