 Hi there,Not unless there are other things he lies about too. If his whole life is a tissue of whoppers then you have more than texting exes to worry about.But if he's only fibbing about this one thing, it's very likely that he's feeling awkward that the old exes are still in contact and he may worry that you'll be less understanding than you clearly are.My suggestion is to make it a bit of a joke. When he gets a text from an old flame, grin and ask if it's from an old girlfriend. Let him know that it's no big deal. "She still after you, is she? Well, she missed her chance and now you're MINE", followed by an evil cackle should do the trick. OK, maybe that doesn't work for everybody, but no matter how you choose to handle it, make certain that he knows that you really don't care that they text him now and then, and that if he wants to stay on speaking terms with them, then it indicates he has a good moral compass.He should get over it in time, but keep a sense of humour about it.
