Somebody say the strangest thing (the one thing that broke me. Seems like nothing but it broke me.) - another draft sitting in my draft box for the past 8 years

Context:
He went on a holiday trip with his ex-girlfriend. However, according to him, his ex-girlfriend didn't want to let him go. The ticket to a 3 week holiday was a birthday gift. He told his current girlfriend that the only reason he would go for the trip was to visit his sister who was overseas. His reassurance was that it was a family trip so there would be minimum contact with her on the trip. He then added that they had a house and a car in their names in that country so he needed to sign the legal papers to withdraw his name. So his current girlfriend told him to go on the trip and settle whatever was needed.

He called his current girlfriend twice during the 3 weeks he was away. He said that her relatives and parents were furious with him that he decided to withdraw his name from the co-ownership of the house and the car. There were fights so he took a flight out on his own and he had nowhere to go. He was lost in a foreign land but he met a friend, who offered him a place to stay. He then added that she then flew in to look for him and she was unstable, crying most of the time.

He arrived at the airport and called his current girlfriend. She would have thought everything would have been settled. However, a year later, on his birthday, his ex-girlfriend sent him a parcel, containing all the pictures they took on that trip. Upon seeing the photos, the girlfriend flew into a rage. What she saw in the pictures was the exact opposite of how he had described the trip.

His remarks:
"I didn't ask her to send me the photos. So take it on her and not me."

"Yes, we kissed and hugged. There were hugging and kissing because I needed to reaffirm that there was nothing between us. If I had not gone through that or went on the trip, I might not even be with you. Even though she and I had broken up, we are still friends and it is normal for friends to hug and kiss."

"I didn't sleep with her on the same bed. The pictures were planned by her, in a way so that it will be seen as if we shared a bed. She likes to take pictures of me sleeping. She is a planner."

"Yes, you are right that she dolled up in sexy lingerie to seduce me. I didn't do anything. If you do not believe, do you want to call her and ask?"

His current girlfriend's reaction:
"I love you. Please don't break my heart."
