How to interpret this?

"nothing really happened, it was all innocent" advise please

Something happened and it was harmless.... in their opinion.... Need more context

This statement is contradicting. It says "nothing" Happen, however if nothing happened the justification of "It was all innocent" Is not needed. "It" Implies something did happen and this is where the contradiction lies. Therefore it can be deduced something did indeed happen. What they're saying is that what happened is negligible it had little impact. Something did happen, but it didn't *really* happen. In other words something happened, but the fact it happened wouldn't really change anything. Therefore nothing really happened, but it did. It's like blowing a fan as a heavy metal ball as it's falling. The fan won't make it fall that much slower, therefore it wasn't really doing anything. As for the innocent part, whatever it was that happened was not with any sort of bad intent. It was innocent, no one was to blame, no one knew if anything bad or good would come or what the outcome would be. No one bears any guilt for it or blame.

thank you dominicwild, you seem to make sense. our opinion on this. My boyfirend had an ex girlfriend of three years ago on the seen when i first got together with him. i got together wiuth him when he got back from a work trip. she visited him during the first three weeks of our relationship, which i wasnt too thrilled about. he said that they remained friends after the break up and would see each other from time to time. okay this is where fwb comes into it. after our relationship started he then told her that he was seeing me and broke all contact with her, he also said that he had no respect for her and that she is no good for any man. after having a blazing row friday morning he couldnt stress how much that nothing happened and said the above about the repect part.we had a blazing row over his quote and i said cards on table i could forgive him if he told me the truth. he got very upset and was rather destraght. i asked to see his laptop etc which he didnt hesitate to show me. i also threatened to go round her house as i know where she lives, and he said it was up too me as he couldnt convince me no more. can i have your thoughts please

susieq, thank you for your comment. my problem i have is that i had already slept with him when i think he slept witth her. i just want to know the truth, also this happened in the first three weeks of our relationship. and aftr the three weeks he couldnt perform for some time. how would you decifer that, thoughts please

if you read what dominicwild wrote it makes sense. as three weeks into our relationship he couldnt perform propeerly. i think it was guilt

well after an extensive conversation without any shouting, i told him how i saw things. i said that something did happen within the first three weeks of our relationship with his ex. i asked was it a kiss or a bj, and instead of getting angry he looked up alot and couldnt look me in the face and was puffing exhaling alot ande paused before he spoke. i saied his face said it all and he said i didnt know how to read people, then i said dont insult my intelligence. also this time he didnt swear on his daughters life. there where other things that where discussed which i dont want to go into too.i asked him vw3hat he wanted from this relationship and he said love. thoughts please
