Is this something I would need to tell my boyfriend?

[Orinoco1]

My boyfriend and I broke up around 6 months ago and are now giving it another go.
during those months apart I had a few weeks ‘fling’ with a long ago ex of mine, it was just a physical relationship for me but he would have liked it to be more.
should I tell my boyfriend about this? This is an ex my boyfriend didn’t particular like because he lives local and we would have seen him a lot around town

to add- my boyfriend has said “whatever we have done in that time apart isn’t eachother business” but I do feel like he would be cross if I kept this from him

Don't tell him unless you want to send the rest of your relationship/life having it thrown in your face

I honestly don’t understand why people get back together when it was relatively easy for them to physically move on with someone else. Is that not a massive sign that you aren’t that invested? What’s the point? I broke up with my ex 1.5 years ago and still not even ready to look at another man.

It’s not his business. My and my husband have been together years and don’t t talk about exes or part shagging.we know as adults we both have a past but it’s not relevant now in fact we don’t even know each others ‘number’

No it happened when you were singe. No one's business but yours.

So many saying not to tell him, and you don’t want to know what he’s been up to- if that works for you great. It wouldn’t work for me, I wouldn’t get back with someone who had been with someone else, and couldn’t go back if I had been with someone else. It seems as it’s been bought up, that he expects you have done stuff and he has too, and he doesn’t want to go there, so it’s up to the two of you how things work on the dynamic you have, strangers on the internet can’t tell you as we will all have different ways of looking at these things anyway. It has the potential to blow up at some point, honesty is always best if you are truly close to someone, but maybe the honesty has reached its limit, in that you both know and accept you had stuff with others while you were apart for a short time, and no need to go deeper into it. It’s up to the two of you how you feel about that

Not in a billion years.
Is there anything positive that you'd gain by telling him?!

If he said that, he was getting his end away too. It’s best you don’t discuss what went on in that time.

No I definitely wouldn’t tell him given he said “whatever we have done in that time apart isn’t eachother business”

I feel like if you now do tell him, it’s like you are implying this is SO IMPORTANT it warrants breaking the above sentiment.

It would just give this more oxygen then it needs. Say nothing, if it comes up reiterate you were sticking to his idea of not sharing that info, and also that it wasn’t a big deal.

You agreed not to tell each other. He clearly doesn’t want to know. Don’t tell him.
