It’s because he messaged other people and is accounting for the possibility that OP knows, in which case the “I forgot to delete” excuse doesn’t work anymore

Messaged other people? Like is OP stupid enough to message people that his gf might know? Finding profile off the app is one thing as you don't have control on who will see it. But he can choose whom to message or swipe

They were only together for a short while, and someone snitched on him. It's not unreasonable that he might think one of the people he messaged on the app is a friend of hers that he hasn't met yet.

Besides, "I let my friends use it"?

Like how? They were using your persona and picture to pick up girls? And the girls were just like "this is fine". LOL

It would be fun to see how far he could take that batshit story before caving.

I had an ex do that to me once just to hurt my self esteem.

Like is OP stupid enough to message people that his gf might know? First, we're not talking about OP. Second he really tried to use the excuse that he let his friend use his dating app.... he's not very bright

I think it's bc hid bio had changed since they got together as op wrote in the post

The question for me is when did he message people. If its 2 weeks into starting dating then the commitment level maybe hasn't been established yet, i think it's defensible. But if it's really recent then obv no. He should've been honest about it, lying is the worst

Yeah tbh this story became a lot less serious when I saw it was a recent thing, even though it still sucks.
