Caught my GF lying again... Opinions? Advice? Loud noises?

My gf lied about talking to her ex.

I’m going to try to be as factual about this as possible, and not include any of our history.

For ease of explanation let’s just pretend I’m psychic. Last night (Sunday), we’re laying in bed and out of nowhere, I ask about her ex who lives 2 hours away. I just started the conversation by saying, “so how’s _______ doing?” She says, “I don’t know. We don’t really talk.” I ask when the last time they talked was. She says, “last week for like 2 minutes.” Ask about what. She says, “nothing. Idk.. He just talks about school.” Etc… Etc… notbuyingit.jpg

After a while, I’ve had enough trying to pry the truth, so in front of her, I pick up her phone and casually scroll down to his texts. The history goes back 2 days. Hmmm =/...
Jump into phone calls. 1 call Friday for 40 minutes. 2 calls Thursday. 6 Calls Wednesday. 3 Calls Monday, and so on. Rough estimate: 20+ calls within 2 weeks, and recently deleted text history.

She’s called out.

She admits she lied.

Says they have been talking more lately, “but seriously… We just started talking again recently. That’s the truth. We really haven’t been talking at all. Just like the last 2 weeks we have.” I say something like, “ok so you guys just started talking again out of nowhere like 2 weeks ago?”
“Yes.”
Wonder how that started… I ask, “So you called him?”
”...yea, I called him.”
First true thing she’s said.

Says she’s lonely (she doesn’t have a lot of friends) and swears there’s nothing more going on. Says That she doesn’t want to be with him or anything (“I have no romantic feelings for him. He’s just a friend.”), but just needs someone to talk to who knows her and doesn’t try to solve her problems, but just tells her shit like, “no you’re great! You’re amazing and I know everything is going to work out for you!”

Despite it being an extremely sore spot for a lot of reasons I won’t include, I have flat out told her it’s ok if she talks to him. I understand the need for friends, and I have a good friendship with my ex. She says she doesn’t remember me ever saying that, and the reason she lied about it is because she didn’t want me to be upset over nothing. I say that’s bullshit, and if there was really nothing in those texts or anything said on the phone that wasn’t damning, they wouldn’t be hidden. How many other lies are here? I say, “you tell me that you’ve never been up there to see him. Is that even true?”
She says she hasn’t seen him since they broke up.

Maybe that’s true… Maybe it’s not. Maybe those phone calls are nothing. Maybe they’re not. HOW WOULD I KNOW? Because obviously I’m not privy to the truth.

And, because I think someone will probably ask:
We’ve been dating about 6 years. Took a break a while back, and that’s when she dated this↑ guys for 5 months. Think they broke up back in Sept. I’m 28, she’s 24.

Oh… And since I was already being an asshole and going through her phone (something I despise BTW) I checked another text conversation with a REALLY old ex. That conversation is basically just him telling her how great she is and asking her out. She replied by nicely telling him she has a boyfriend. He pulls the classic, “oh he’s such a lucky man! I hope he treats you right!” bullshit… Past that point, their conversation continued for a long time until about a month ago. A whole other set of questions now. Like, “why would you keep talking to someone like this when you undeniably know they want to date you?” sad;jlfdfserwaqa;DFSADSA;HL!

*sigh… Anyway~

We fight. Stay up till 6am. Now I’m at work.
Anyone have opinions or advice on this shit!?
