‘DP’ lying about timeline with ex

Would it annoy you if your partner lied to you about the timeline of breaking up with their ex? When we met (6 months ago) he said they’d been split for three months which I thought was short but he said they’d been unhappy for a long time and I believed him, I had been in a similar situation myself. They had no kids/mortgage together or anything else tying them. His ex recently made her Instagram public and I can see that they were still together a month before we met and looking very happy. I know that you shouldn’t judge from social media, maybe they weren’t really happy, but it looks that way to me and either way he lied to me about timing. I confronted him and he said he did lie because he didn’t want me to be put off at how recently his relationship had ended but he can’t see the relevance now as it’s in the past. I just want to know if people think I’m being unreasonable here or have a right to feel hurt and betrayed

My partner had broken up with his ex , 7 months before we got together. It may have been a bit of a rebound , it we are still together 20 years later !
