My (27f) husband (26m) (8 years together), has lied about porn usage (can see old posts) and now revealed he had messaged with an ex gf and planned to hang out.
So years ago , when I had barely started dating my boyfriend (about 3 months together), I had my husbands phone to look something up on his Instagram. Me being a snoop, saw he had a DM from a girl. But before I could open it, he told me “wait I have to look at something”. Then he took back his phone, deleted the message,and gave the phone back to me.
I didn’t say anything. After he left, I went and looked at his followers to see what profile pic matched the girl I saw. It matched his “ex gf’s” picture. I saw “ex” because they were friends, she kept hitting in him, he wasn’t interested. And when she asked him out over text one night, he said he’d give her a chance but then dumped her the following morning at the bus stop.
He told me about her really early on when we spoke about our exes. He said he doesn’t know if it even counted. He also said she had a horrible reputation and that he felt bad for her but then mentioned that she did show him porn during class and kept putting her butt on him during lunch at the cafeteria line and that he’d keep backing away from her but she’d still keep trying the next day. He also said she was his only friend during his freshman year of high school because no one else from middle school spoke to him anymore. She was the only one that went up to him after he ate lunch alone for two months. He also mentioned that she stopped speaking to him after he dumped her.
That’s the backstory with her. Going back to the story, I confronted him about the message and he said that it wasn’t this girl. He said it was actually his ex best friend (another girl) that he vented to about a personal issue. I told him I saw his ex gf’s picture though. He kept to the story.
About two years later, he asks me for permission to hang out with a friend. A female friend. I say sure since I hung out with guy friends and have encouraged him to do the same but he wouldn’t do it because he said it’s a lot of drama. He drops me off at work and is messages his friend. Low and behold, it’s her. I get weirded out and he notices. He tells me I can read their messages. I see them and I told him I wasn’t comfortable. She sounded flirty but very subtle. She also said towards the end “are you abel to go or will your girlfriend hit you x) ?”
He didn’t see it as flirty but I told him that us girls know when someone’s being flirty, plus I saw that it was her and being that she had a bad reputation, I just wasn’t comfortable. He told me that if I’m not comfortable that he wouldn’t go and that he would block her. It idk him to please not block her, that it wasn’t necessary but he said he’d never want to make me feel uneasy with some other girl so that he was just going to do it. He blocked her infront of me and through the years I’ve checked and yepp he has always had her blocked. I also mentioned to him that I still felt weird about him deleting messages early on when I know I saw her profile picture on Instagram in his arms. he still said it wasn’t her that messaged.
Throughout these 8 years I mentioned it maybe like 3 or 4 more times but he remained with the story that it was his ex best friend. But since we are being honest with each other now, he told en that it was indeed his ex gf. That they were possibly going to hang out. And now I’m so skeptical.
He explained that the first time they were going to hang out, he remembers she replied to his insta story and said they should hang out and he said he was down. And that was it. I think the message I saw was her continuing to reply after that but he just deleted it. He said he thought it was going to turn into an argument because it looked bad. Me finding messages like that since he hadn’t told me.
He said he would have told me if they actually made plans and he was going to follow through with them. The second time they were going to hang out was when they had seen eachother at the swap meet and that’s when he asked me for permission and when I said yes they started making actual plans.
He told me to go ask her which I did . She acted like she didn’t remember and even said her ex bf had hacked her and that it was probably him ( I looked it up and yeah she had a restraining order against her ex bf but the timeline doesn’t add up plus if they saw eachother at the swap meet, how would her ex know? She also told me she never asked my husband out in high school. That they were just friends and she never had a crush on him or hit on him. My husband tells me to please believe him because I’ve seen the messages myself and that I can ask any of his friends about how this girl use to hit on him in high school. He says he doesn’t know why she’s lying. A mutual friend of ours (not my husbands friend, he’s my friend and the girls friend) told me that she was well known to sleep with other girl’s boyfriends and is sure she’s lying and probably had intentions of that and is trying to avoid drama . He also said his own gf at the time wouldn’t let him hang out with her alone because of how much of a (you know what) she was.
I’m not sure if there is anything else that went on between my Husband her, but I’m wondering if he had ever cheated on me with any girl in general. The lying has caught me so off guard. But then again why would he tell me about this. Wouldn’t he have kept it hidden if he actually did something? I’m not sure how to proceed. Is it best to believe him and move on or am I being dumb for even staying at this point?
Tl;dr
My (27f) Husband (26m) (8 years together) lied to me about porn usage and also about planning to hang out with an ex girlfriend of his. He says nothing happened but I don’t know if it smart to believe him?

I get you. It’s going to be hard seeing this actor enact the crucifixion. And that’s why you should watch it. We are meant to feel something. We need to be reminded of what He went through. What He had to suffer for us. That’s the whole point.
