My boyfriend(21m) and I (21f) started talking in the winter of 2024. We clicked instantly but both had some personal issues that kept us from making our relationship official until mid 2025. This included setting up sexual boundaries and understanding of our boundaries at the very beginning. Communication with him about these things has always been extremely good and understanding, as my last long term relationship ended in me personally being SA’d. So this hits very close to home to me. He has been the only person I have felt seriously comfortable with since then, he always makes me feel safe and as if I can express myself. That was until yesterday, when I recieved a DM from his Ex partner(20nb) from mid 2024, accusing him of emotional abuse and rape. When he was 20 and they were 18. This gutted me, and I immediately booked an emergency appointment with my therapist before responding to them. The ex sent me tons of screenshots from the time my boyfriend was dating them. Which consisted of them fighting, being extremely flirty, or him begging for them back, all before he met me. None of these screenshots however, cooperated their story. When I confronted my boyfriend he broke down crying. He said that while yes they did have sex, from his end everything was consensual. That at one point he noticed them tense up and start to cry so he stopped. He laid out the entire story of their relationship, how toxic the relationship truly was and that this person had been making fake accounts of his friends for months trying to reach him. That last part, I knew to be true because he had shown me the fake accounts prior in our relationship. With all that being said, I asked the person why they chose to reach out now, as the timing was coincidently a few days before my boyfriend’s birthday. They claimed that any decent person would leave their partner after an accusation like this and chastised those who wouldn’t. They then proceeded to attempt to make small talk with me. This confused me more. So I guess I’m coming on here to ask how best to go about this situation?
