Why is my boyfriend making it seem like his past relationships were not serious?

Anonymous

Long story short, my boyfriend of one year is downplaying his past relationships. And I mean seriously downplaying; to the point where the relationship was barely nonexistent from his point of view. For example: A couple of years prior to me, he was in a long distance relationship (she lived in the same state as him before becoming official, than she moved). From what I can gather, they were together for a year, if not a little more. They meet each other's parents, told each other they loved one-another, talked about moving in together and he gave her super heart-left messages; making her seem like she was the 'one'. I don't know about you, but that sounds pretty serious to me.

He doesn't like to talk about any of his past relationships. And if he does, it is short. He won't mention any names. I have to ask for them. He doesn't trash talk them, just doesn't like to have conversations about them. Anyway, I know all of this because I have his Snapchat password. Yes, he gave it to me. I got curious and I was looking up past girlfriend's names. And he is the type where he saves messages, so I read what was saved. I just wanted to know a little more about his past since he wouldn't go into it.

When I asked him about this certain girl, I was told they only 'dated' for about three-weeks. They never become official because she had plans on moving to Texas. When she finally moved, she had called him over another guy. Crying her eyes out over the new guy, telling him that she wanted to move back and was making a huge mistake. However, in their messages, this is all wrong. His very last message to her was about how much he missed her, he forgives her over the new guy in her life, wants to completely move to Texas and so fourth. She left him on read. However, he seemed pretty crushed over her moving on from him. This isn't the first time where he has downplayed something, but never to this extent.
