Forget the spies. Lead by example Belle. Ask him directly. If you still have doubts then maybe check with the spies to see if there is any evidence one way or another. I think it is always wiser and safer to take the high road no matter what. If he is the player we fear he is then you will never beat him at his own game. Ask him directly and then hold him to account for his words. Throw up your hands at his lies and run don't walk the other way.

What is up with letting your emotions determine your future? Why do we do that? At our most vulnerable and least rationale times we turn our future over to our feelings. What if you do discover you are still in love with him? Does that mean you will turn a blind eye to who he isn't as a person? Do your feelings give him a by from being a decent human being? Shouldn't he need to prove himself a decent human being first? If you let your heart lead you can you trust where you will end up? Just saying........
