Did he act like that because he liked his ex? Or is he just an idiot?

Me and my boyfriend got into a huge fight last night. We had a mutual friend(who happens to be his ex from a really long time ago) over for supper, (we live together) and to make a long story short, I have an infected tooth that got really bad last night when I was eating. I had to go to the dentist immediately, and I was bawling because it hurt so much. But my boyfriend did check to see how I was, but then went right back to our friend and was hanging out with her as I was crying in the bedroom. I felt like he was paying more attentiont to her than me when I really needed it, and his excuse was that she was a guest in our house, and didn't want to just leave her hanging by herself in our living room. He thought it was rude to kick her out when they hadn't even finished eating yet. I understand his point of view...and I realize I may have been overreacting. But it was a bad fight, after she left the gloves were off. I accused him of still liking her, and he looked at me like I was crazy. He drove me to get my prescription, and we fought the whole way. When we got home again, we fought some more and he said he didn't want to talk about it anymore and needed space because he didn't want to talk to me when I was in this state. So I called my mom, calmed down, and went to bed. He started kissing me, and was being very affectionate to make me feel better which I appreciated. But is he doing this to hide his true feelings of perhaps liking this girl again? I know I may be reading into this way too much...but I have a terrible habit of dwelling and jumping to the worst conclusion. Help!
