Sooo this is a little crazy but here we go. Me and my ex broke up. We just sorta lost feeling. We are still good friends though. He has this friend that I **jokingly** flirt with a descent amount. He is pretty charming. My ex told me to stay way and that he’s a bad person. I’m not going to go into detail but he has done some unsavory things. I got a message from his friend and we started talking. He seems really nice. I asked him about some of the things my ex said and he denied all of it. Idk if I should trust my ex because he isn’t really over me. But on the other hand is he trying to protect me? Idk what to do. I’m not even popular and this crazy stuff is happening to me. Idk
