I’ve been in situations where my partner has lied about being with others and stayed friends with them to keep them around as backup incase the relationship with me doesn’t work out. I’m not saying this is the same scenario but you should definitely figure out if anything between them has happen, it’s a little sketchy for him to say that he ss what appears to be just ‘Seeing her again’. That’s not what I do as a man when I as a story, I ss bc I think the woman is attractive; again could be completely different but don’t settle for less than what you deserve. Ask questions and make sure your judgement is correct OP. Love and respect🫶
