We had been friends with benefits on and off for about 8 months after we broke up in March 2022. I knew he had been talking to another girl in June and that he had feelings for her but he still wanted to continue our situationship with the excuse that they weren't exclusive. About a week ago, I had found out from a friend that he and that girl had been together for a month, but he was still asking me for pics and shit. When I confronted him about it he claimed that he didn't want to tell me he had a girlfriend because he was scared of how I'd react and that he didn't want to lose me as a friend. I had asked him before if he had a girlfriend and he straight up said no. When I asked him why he still asked for pictures he said it was because if he stopped asking for them I'd get suspicious that he was in a relationship. I'm honestly just confused as to why he would go to that extent to hide his relationship from me, and should I tell his girlfriend about it and our history? She seems like a sweet girl, the TOTAL opposite of me but I'm not sure if I want to cause drama because I'm afraid it'll make me seem like a petty ex. She seems to know of my existence in his life, though I doubt she knows of our history.
TLDR: my fwb (ex) lied to me about his relationship multiple times and I don't know if I should tell his girlfriend about it or not.
