My husband is texting his Ex girlfriend

Anonymous
I'm kind of at a loss of what to do. I don't tell him, but occasionally I browse through his texts. I know I shouldn't, because I really want to respect his privacy, but there have been a couple situations where he didn't tell me until after fact that he was meeting her to pick up things she's borrowed from him. I guess at least he didn't hide it.

My husband is friendly and funny, albeit a bit flirty. I've told him this before, but he doesn't seem to realize that he is like this. He's a bit too friendly towards even friends that are girls, often texting them. I've gotten used to this, because once I meet them, I become great friends with them too.

He believes it is okay that he can be friends with his exes and that I have nothing to worry about because there's no way they'll get back together. That makes me feel a bit uncomfortable and I've told him that before. I think out of respect to me, he rarely sees them or texts them; this one in particular lives out of state.

The thing is, she broke up with him because he cheated on her with another girl while she was studying abroad a few years ago. I forgave him of that, because I've seen how remorseful he is about it.

It seems he always initiates the conversations by asking what she's been up to. Anyways, this conversation that I read went like this with her. He told her that he is graduating and asked if she would come. She jokingly replied that if he buys her a ticket, she would. He asked her to give him a reward, to which she said I'll reward you with my presence. Then he said (in a different language): "I want a large jewel that represents me. Can you give me such a jewel?"

Reading that line kind of sent me into a spiral of confusion, jealousy and paranoia. That's why I humbly ask your advice. Please tell me if I am overreacting to this. How should I approach this?

Thank you
