My boyfriend dislikes my friend

I moved to an entire new state and eventually got a boyfriend who went off to boot camp leaving me a bit lonely so I went on bumble and met “Tyler”. I was very quick to tell him I have a boyfriend and just wanted to be friends. He was cool with this so we would chill, eat junk food and watch dumb shows or play videos games together.

Eventually a couple months later my boyfriend very unexpectedly dumped me in the middle of the night. Tyler was one of the few people I knew would be up to I ran to him and he then started to show interest in me once learning I’m now single. Him and I started to hook up a couple weeks after the break up as I used it as a bit of a way to get over the ex. It was maybe just five times in total during roughly 6 months until I met my current boyfriend.

Tyler and I had the talk and we decided we weren’t right for each relationship wise so we cut off anything sexual between us when I officially started dating my current boyfriend. We went back to simply watching movies and eating junk food. Usual friendly hang out type activities.

I never mentioned our past to my current boyfriend but roughly a year into our relationship he expressed how everyone (my roommates at the time) thinks I’m cheating on him with Tyler. I came clean to him that it’s because I use to hook up with him but we already went through the talk and we’re honestly just friends now. I’m not very sure if he fully believed me and now I can’t really mention Tyler to him without him seeming upset or awkward about it. I have to hid when I talk or hang out with him. I never lie if he asks me who I’m talking to or what I’m doing but simply won’t bring it up if not asked. Its overall very awkward for all involved. I told Tyler about everything and he was willing to stop talking to me for awhile or whatever I needed to help my current relationship but I didn’t really want him to as I still don’t have many other friends. I’ve tried to have them meet each other but Tyler is completely against it and I don’t really blame him as I can see how strange that’d be. I’m not entirely sure if just staying silent about Tyler is the healthiest choice here
