I just express myself and then move on.

No, exactly that is very true.
One main thing my boyfriend lied to me about was his past with a girl that he still kept in contact with and that we hung out with a bit together. I had asked him if they had ever been more than friends. He said they had always been just friends. I ended up finding out they had hooked up numerous times, the last time only a month before we met. Its not the fact that it happened that upset me, its the fact that he outright lied about it, obviously wanting to avoid me being upset or jelous. Men sometimes
I'm sure its the same with your boyfriend, just trying to avoid any negative emotions from you.
