Boyfriend allowing his friend to overhear our private conversation!

Boyfriend and I had an argument a couple of months ago on the phone, regarding concerns I have over a particular friendship of his (an ex fling turned 'female bestie'). There's a lot of context here, but I am fearful of outing as I know she reads here. To summarise, I think some of the behaviour is inappropriate, he disagrees.

The reason for the argument was that I found out that he was out at a bar with her, which he had intentionally kept hidden from me. We had a an argument on the phone, whilst they were both at the bar, where I had mentioned my concerns about their past fling. I also mentioned some other very private things during the conversation.

Months later, on the same topic of conversation, he mentions how they'd both had a laugh at the bar about my concerns over their history together and how ridiculous I was to be worried about it. Turns out she'd been able to overhear the entire conversation! I sent the following to him and then blocked him:

'X wasn't a part of that conversation, I didn't invite X to be a part of it, I didn't know X could overhear, and you should have taken it upon yourself to make sure that X couldn't hear an incredibly intimate and private conversation. Then the two of you taking it upon yourselves to have a discussion about something I was under the impression was being said in PRIVATE between you and I. This is done.'

He's now frantically trying to contact me through any means possible (email, bank transfer!!) to try and get back with me.

AIBU or is this a gross violation of our trust and my privacy?

Kudos for your definitive response to his blatant disrespect. He prioritized her and together they made a mockery of you. Your boundaries sound too strong to be swayed by his ‘desperate’ attempts to manipulate you.

@BakeoffRewatch I was merely explaining how bank transfers could be used, just like I also said its alarmingly a non breach of a nonmolestion order and abusive exs have been using these means to send threatening messages.
