my boyfriend and i broke up and i slept with my ex. when we got back together i told him about it, now he's so insecure that he's a jerk. its like if one of his friends sleep over he'll be mad and give me the cold shoulder the whole time and the next morning! even after they leave. and when i ask him about it he'll say "how do i know what you did after i fell asleep" i tell him he's being hurtful by saying these things and he says he's not trying to hurt me but this is how he feels. what should i do? i want him to trust me because im not doing anything wrong and i never cheated on him but he insists otherwise.

It is wrong for your boyfriend to be holding what happened while you two were not together over your head, However this also can depend on how long you two were separated. Was it a week? Two weeks?...Or was it a few months? You didn't label no specific details.
If it has been a few months, Then HE is in the wrong. He needs to get over it and move on and if he can't trust you and try to put in the effort to work on it then I have no idea why you would want to be in a relationship with someone who has assumptions that you would cheat during the relationship.
If you two were broken up over a course of a few weeks, Then I can understand his anger and a why he is annoyed. Depending on how long you two previously dated and the relationship between the two of you it is hurtful and somewhat disrespectful and it shows that maybe you didn't care to much about the relationship. However, This all depends on how long you were separated. Remember despite the circumstances you DID NOT Cheat on him and if he can't trust you, Then move on and keep it that way.
