Be Honest

You could be honest and just tell your boyfriend know that your ex contacted you.

If you’re not honest and he finds out, then it’s going to seem like you’re hiding something, which can then lead to even more problems. It’s best to avoid drama and arguments at all possible costs.

Part of the problem is that your boyfriend might think that you have feelings for your ex or that something is going on between the two of you, which is not what you want to happen.

As a result of this, it’s best to just let your boyfriend know what’s going on so that he can trust you and not get suspicious about anything.

Reassure Your Boyfriend

You will also need to reassure your boyfriend and let him know that there is nothing going on between you and your ex.

If you don’t do this, then he could get upset and start thinking all kinds of things about you and your ex.

When a person doesn’t trust you anymore, it’s going to make it impossible for the relationship to work. No one wants to put up with someone that has a lot of trust issues.

Your best option is, to be honest, and straightforward about everything. You don’t want it to seem like you’re intentionally entertaining conversations with your ex. That’s the last thing that you want to happen.

Conclusions

If though you don’t have to tell your boyfriend that your ex contacted you, it’s probably the best thing for you to do. If you keep it a secret and he finds out, then it’s not going to be a good situation for you or the relationship. It’s better, to be honest!
