He is cheating. He has been cheating since the moment he started talking to his ex. Wow sounds like a situation I went through 3 years ago with my ex fiance. We were supposed to get married and then I found all these phone calls and text messages being sent back and forth between he and his ex girlfriend from 6 YEARS AGO! haha I then questioned him about it and he, also, claimed he didn't remember making those calls and sending those messages. Honey, come to find out he had been cheating on me. I heard it from so many people and the whole situation just sounded so suspicious to me. Trust your instinct. Trust your heart, what it's saying to you. If you have any doubts at all... then get rid of him! Don't make someone a priority when they're only making you an option. Please take my advice, you would be so much happier with someone else or even alone. He's definitely not worth your time and happiness. Why would someone have to lie when they have nothing to hide??? The whole situation doesn't make any sense. And don't feel like you need him to get through life. You don't need any man to make you feel beautiful and help you around the house. Go out, get some girlfriends and have some fun and forget about him. He forgot about you all those times he spent talking to her. So why make him a priority?
