I have a fairly good male friend. Divorcee and enjoying single life and new / casual relationships - so far so good. He often confides in me about various ladies and Im happy for him (although occasionally mention about precautions etc - ) during these 'discussions' I actually don't talk all that much and listen or ask questions.
Anyway in the last six months I have met three of his ladies who have had overlapping relationships. However he tells me one (who lives locally to me) is just a friend - there's nothing sexual - he wouldnt want to ruin their friendship blah blah blah. However other people have mentioned seeing him out with this friend and how they appear loved up etc - he has very strongly implied to others that they are an item.
Why lie to me????
I don't particularly care who he sees and whether he has 50 girlfriends (although I would be wary about picking up/transmitting disease). I have also made it very clear to him that I don't judge peoples love lives as I know how complicated they can be.
AIBU to be annoyed that he lies to me about her? Why lie?

How do you know he's lying?

You're getting 3rd hand information and other people's opinions about hims 'strongly implying' something.

Either ask him straight out or just forget it.

Fair point Worra but it's reliable information and I did ask him outright and he said the same thing.
