So my boyfriend asked me today if it was okay if he went out to eat with one of his "girl" friends, just them two. I said okay. The thing is, after i said that i found out they used to talk and thats why him and his ex girlfriend used to fight, because of her. I've been dating him for about a month now and im still finding things out about him. He treats me really good though. The only thing is, i got a little mad at the fact that he used to like her because i seen what hes said about her pictures on facebook and he was giving her plenty of compliments. I've also seen them text while we have been hanging out before. He's so nice and i know he would never do anything to hurt me intentionally. But i just don't know what to do, because it makes me upset.

is it ok for you to be worried/concerned? yes it is.
is it ok for you to pry into his stuff and "scope" things out and spy on him? no.
you can be worried and jealous but once you start spying on him and interfering and trying to figure out the truth, its crossing the line.
if you find proof that they are more than friends by accident, confront him about it and see what happens from there. lets say she wrote on his wall and said something flirty like "last night was amazing. i love you" ask him about it. if it seems fishy, keep an open eye on it. but DONT pry. thats how you lose respect for someone and lose trust. especially if it was a false alarm/not true to begin with.
however, if you have actual proof like a friend sent you a picture message of them kissing, you have proof that he cheated and then confront him about it.
