So is there any point in asking him directly what’s what?

Not if you aren't exclusive.

He's not going to be honest with you either, the way he wasn't honest when his buddy asked.

It's up to you if you think this one month dating thing with him is worth this aggravation. Having him still be hung up on his very recent ex.

Like I posted before, if it was me, I would ask him, "So, what's up with the ex? What happened with you two?" I think it's perfectly normal and fine to ask someone about their previous relationships anyway, and in this case, you kind of need to gauge HOW he talks about her now.

I personally think it is too soon for this guy to be "in a relationship" with anyone so soon. He probably wants his single time now.

Thanks I will.

He went to go visit his sister so I’ll ask in person when he gets back.
He posted a video tonight of him hold a framed picture of his sister with their family dog...but with the song, “I need love”. In some twisted way is he talking about/dropping hints about his ex again?

I think the OP has gone around the bend with her snooping and insecurities. The relationship is doomed. It’s not him, it’s the OP’s whacko obsession.

Waay too much drama in the first month.
You deserve better. Move on. Sorry.
It’s obvious he’s just not that in to you.
Stop wasting your time and energy and making excuses for him.
Best of luck.

That doesn't help and is a whole other issue that's likely to be a problem no matter who the OP is with.

You said you're not exclusive, so at the end of the day, does it really matter what he feels about his ex? He and you could both be seeing other people while in this whatever type of relationship you have, so it's probably irrelevant.

If you're after an exclusive and monogamous relationship with this guy, I think it's pretty clear you're not going to get it with him. So you have to ask yourself what's your goal here with this guy? Just a casual thing with no strings or a serious and meaningful relationship between 2 people?
