My bf lied about the duration of his last relationship

My boyfriend told me that him and his ex were together for a year, but I found out recently that they started dating in May 2021 and they broke up around August 2023. He said that they broke up for a couple of months during this time, but the timeline doesn’t add up. It would be 2 years that they dated, not 1.
I don’t care how long that they dated but I find it strange that he felt like he had to lie to me about how long they were dating. Should I bring this up to him or should I just let it die?

I would let it lie. It’s not materially different. It might well be about perception of what being together is. The past is the past and not necessarily to be picked over in a new relationship

tbh i think that depends on whether you CAN let it lie
some people will overthink this to the point of “if he can lie about something like that, what else is he lying about”
genuinely might just be smth worth asking abt even if it is to just settle your mind

Well it may not be deliberately deceiving and for me calling it lying is too strong for the nature of the difference. And there is also the consideration of what you should be expected to share about previous relationships

yeah i get what you mean
that’s why i said to talk abt it bc he might not be deliberately deceiving but doesnt know that shes questioning it and just thinks its fine and dandy while she might spiral
and yeah there is that consideration of sharing you’re absolutely right

Thank you, I can kind of feel myself spiralling a little bit just because I want him to feel comfortable enough to be open and honest and it feels like an unnecessary thing to lie about. How do you think I should bring it up to him? Thank you!

I mean, he’s a guy, he may genuinely have had no idea how long the relationship was when on the spot.
