Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?

      I've been dating my boyfriend for about 4 months. We recently hit a rough patch and almost broke up. The first person he ran to "talk" to was his female bff/ ex girlfriend. She gave him the, oh so helpful, advice that maybe he can't give me what I need and it's not fair to either one of us. Um, thanks, lady. Well, we weathered the storm and now she's coming into town next month and he wants us to all have dinner together. I'm fine with having dinner with her except, I don't think he remembers that he told me that they don't speak to each other everyday because it might stir up old feelings. While I appreciate his honesty, that's NEVER something a girlfriend wants to hear. 
     Last weekend I accidently (I SWEAR) took his cell phone home. (Oh, did I mention we live 2 hours apart?) I fought myself as best I could but I eventually broke down and went through his phone. There was a text from her last week saying "I miss u so much!! I heart/love u!" aaaaannnndddd I'm not sure how to take that. I can't confront my bf about it because, essentially, I shouldn't have been going through his phone in the first place. I've always been the girl that has said "If you don't want to find something then don't go searching for it." Well, I searched and I found and now I'm confused. I feel like it's a shady situation. So, will the real slim shady please stand up?

    Okay---I understand how yue feel completely, but yue do have a point in not supposed to had been going through his phone. But if they are friends,that sort of thing is normal.

    Not saying that I would like it. Nope, not at all. But yue dont have to like it either.

    What Im saying is that yue should trust him. If he's trying not to talk to her because old feelings doesn't want to be stirred up, then that means he'd devoting his time to yue, right? If yue freak out about him and her, that's only going to push him towards her.

    There's nothing to worry about. If hes taking yue out to dinner with her, then that proves something.

    Chill out. Itll be fine. (And dont say anything to him about the text, okay?)

    ok so i have a similar "problem" my boyfriend an i have been dating for almost a year now and theres ALWAYS someone in our way...its either his friends but the one i want to mention since its the one that bothers me most is his so called "best friend" (which of course is also a girl) i mean i used to get along with the girl very well and i didnt feel likethere was anything to be worried about before since we have both been knowing him for around the same ammount of time...but of course she was always much closer to him. But ever since me and him went very serious with our relationship...she has put me in some very awkward positions. I tried to be tolerant about it but i just felt that there were certain times when she needed to back away and understand that he was in a serious relationship now and he couldnt ALWAYS be there for her. It got to a point when me and her stopped talking because of the fact that it bothered me so must and my jealousy started showing...he has mentioned to me that theres no reason for me to feel that way because aftet all she is just his very close friend...ok but then can somebody please explain he many calls from her at ALL times of the day...and ESPECIALLY on weekends when were really not around eachother?! the previous comment is right about the "if you dont want to know something you didnt want to know, then dont go snopping around" but i cant help it when i know hes not being completely honest with me at all times...and ive also been thru seeing those "i love you i miss you" texts or messages...and so it makes it seem like more than just a "friendship" to me...so again can somebody help me understand this type of situation...or am i just overreacting?????!
