For context, me (F26) and my fwb (M50) have been messing around for about a year. We have this rule where we don’t sleep with anyone outside of each other. I didn’t mind as I don’t care to sleep with more than 1 guy at the same time.
So one day, my fwb threw away an iPad because he couldn’t get it to work anymore. He’s not tech savvy so I offered to work on it and he said I can keep it if I fix it. I asked him if there was anything on there that I shouldn’t see to which he responded no.
A few weeks later I charged it and tried to work on getting it cleaned up and updated. his PHONE messages were connected to the iPad and I saw so much shit (I’m attaching the one screenshot I showed him). He told me he was talking about her perfume and that he did not sleep with her and I am overreacting. However when he even thought I was out with another guy (he had my location at the time). He followed me with the intentions of confronting me…he has told me that he would stop talking to me if I slept with anyone else (our one rule). He would always question me asking if I was seeing someone or if I was deciding to sleep with someone else. I never did as I respected our one rule and expected the same respect.
I also don’t know if I’m being naive since he isn’t my boyfriend and the conversation before and after the screenshot doesn’t say anything else .
Am I overreacting by cutting him off and stopping the hooking up? Or is it possible he’s really talking about “perfume” here.
