Why did my ex just ask me if I had slept with anyone else if we broke up over a year ago?

My ex and I broke up because he decided to move away. Anyways we have recently been in contact just as friends, (we have seen each other once) however, I have moved to a very nice apartment and wanted to show off essentially... nothing more. He then told me he didn't want to mislead me and I was like "yes, I know we are just friends. Forever." He then asked me if I had sex with other people, and I did not tell him because? Why would I do that...

Anyway two hours after the conversation ended he texted me again about my instagram and going on it to "see if I had sex with other people" I then mentioned how would you know that from Instagram. Then he said it was a joke...

Like what? Is going on here? Never happened to me before.

Ugh girl that's so weird, I don't know what your ex is thinking bringing that up out of nowhere! Like you guys broke up over a year ago, of course you've moved on since then. He has no right to know about who you've been with.

It's super creepy and possessive that he'd joke about checking your Instagram to see if you've had sex. That's not something you joke about with an ex! Makes me wonder if he's still not over you or something. Why else would he care so much about who you've been with?

I wouldn't tell him anything personal going forward. Seems like he's still stuck in the past and isn't really just your "friend." Next time he brings it up I'd just shut it down and be like "that's not really any of your business anymore." You don't owe him any explanations.

Honestly I'd probably keep my distance from him if I were you. No good can come from an ex who acts that entitled and weird about your current life. You don't need that drama, girl! Go live your best life without having to worry about what some possessive ex thinks. His behavior is a big red flag in my opinion.

Only legitimate reason for asking that is to be aware of possible STD's. Since you weren't going to have sex he's being a jerk. Tell him it's no longer his business.
