<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

**Backstory:** My boyfriend and I have been together for almost eight years.  However, the last two years have been fairly on/off.

Our last breakup was almost a year ago, in February 2013.  We got back together in July, and both realized that we needed to get serious about our relationship if it was going to work.  Since then we have discussed marriage and kids (two things we never talked about previously) and have actively worked to change a lot of problems that had plagued us.  I would say that things are going very well.

**The Issue:**  During our last breakup, we both started dating other people.  My boyfriend had a two month relationship with a girl who ended up moving to another state, and he also went on a date with someone else.  Both of these girls have both remained in fairly steady contact with him.  The one who moved away texts him every few months with updates, songs and pictures.  The other one texts him more frequently and invites him to go places.  Recently my boyfriend got a text from her in which she asked him to go for a walk in the snow with her.  He was hanging out with me, but declined by saying that he was busy with schoolwork.  I snooped and saw the conversation, but he later deleted it and told me that he hadn't talked to her since September.

**Resolution?:** It really bothers me that he texts these girls.  His relationships with them were founded on entirely romantic pretexts, so it's not like they're close friends.  I feel like the one who moved away is just kind of keeping him on the line.  And the other girl is very blatantly inviting him out on dates (he agrees).

However, he's not actually doing anything wrong and the texts are platonic.  Should I be upset about this?  Can I ask that he stop texting these girls, or would that be out of line?  It also weirds me out that he hid the texts from me, when I really haven't been reactionary or aggressive about any of this.
<bot>: My boyfriend of eight years is texting two girls he dated while we were broken up for a few months.  I'm uncomfortable with the subtext of their relationships, but not sure if I have any right to be.
