Guy wants to hold on to two girls

Hey. I need insight/advice.
I used to be involved with a guy for 1,5 years. We agreed to be friends when one of us met someone and we would break things off.
He did something stupid though, he lied to his new girl and said he hadn't been involved with someone for 1 year. When he ended up telling her the truth, he had to delete me from Facebook to prove to her that she didn't have to worry. Which means he lied again, because his plan was to be my friend again. He called me to probably expect that I'd either wait for him while he was "not being my friend" to that girl, or he expected that we would sneak around behind her back, which is so stupid because he isn't able to be dishonest for long, he always has to come clean eventually.
I tried to cut him off when I found this out, because I knew she wouldn't be ok with us being friends, and I know he will pick her. But then I wasn't able to cut him out longer, I asked him to fix this.
But there's probably no chance he will be able to have her be ok with our friendship. He is really smart but he makes such stupid choices. On the phone he was really trying to not loose me and said he would try to talk to her. But honestly, he won't be able to fix this. He's made it so we would never be able to be friends and her ok with it. Am I right or wrong? I'm really emotionally affected so I don't know if I'm thinking of all the options. Anyone , any advice please.

Why can’t you just move on? He cheated on you and picked the new girl over you. What’s the point in being his friend

@QueenPeach he picked her over me yes. because we weren't in love and wouldn't be. But we knew that and knew we wanted to stay friends whenever one of us met someone.
We've been through so much and love eachother, so it's never been an option to not be in eachothers lives.
But now I'm feeling like he will end up cutting me out for her.
I did try to cut him out, but i would rather that he fixes this.
He said he would call me back when he had talked to her.
I dread it

Don’t waste your youth on someone unworthy, you can always find better friends. But if you wanna keep pressuring him to be your friend go on. But I guarantee you that he’ll do whatever she pleases cause she’s the girlfriend.
Think with your mind not heart @Throughobstacles

@QueenPeach He was the one who when he first told me these things said that he would talk to her and fix it. I first cut him out, then regretted and asked him to fix it after all.

Okay when was the last time he texted you @Throughobstacles

Throughobstacles · 26-30, F

@QueenPeach After we ended things, I said I needed to not be in contact with him for a while, so I could wean off the romantic feelings.
I was just about to be ready for contact again when he suddenly called me last night.

What did he say @Throughobstacles

Throughobstacles · 26-30, F

@QueenPeach he said that he had admitted to the girl that he'd been involved with me. The fact that he had lied made her not trust him, so he felt pressured to delete me from Facebook. Then he said it was just because he felt pressured, but it was just temporary and eventually she would cool down and we would be friends again.
But I told him he had to be honest with her, and not be sneaky. But him being honest probably won't help with allowing us to be friends after he lied about having been involved with someone. Then again lied by seeming like me and him were not in eachothers lives.
How the fuck can he fix that., Honestly

Why do you wanna be his friend so bad? Are you in love with him?@Throughobstacles

Throughobstacles · 26-30, F

@QueenPeach i love him. But I'm not in love with him. That's the reason we weren't serious, because we weren't eachothers type. We didn't fall for eachother.
When we broke things off, we both cried a lot. We had always talked about what we wanted when we would break things off. And we both wanted to stay friends.

My advice is you completely cut him off. Ignore him and get you a better guy to date. But if you’re stuck on him then goodluck convincing his gf to let him be your friend @Throughobstacles

Throughobstacles · 26-30, F

@QueenPeach thank you for the advice. I'm having a date on Sunday with a guy I've been talking to. I'm very excited, he seems really great.
Of course I want to be friends with a guy I really care about and have been there for for 1,5 years. But this guy happens to be an idiot and I'm so sad about that.

Don’t worry you’ll find better friends with time. He’s not worth it too much drama @Throughobstacles

Throughobstacles · 26-30, F

@QueenPeach I have a lot of friends. And all of them have excellent morals. He's just someone I grew to care a lot about
