His Girlfriend Has Started Telling Small Lies About Them, And He Finds Her Behavior Really Irritating

This guy and his girlfriend, who are both in their late 20s, have been dating for around 7 months, and so far, everything has been smooth sailing.
But a certain behavior of hers has recently been rubbing him the wrong way, and he’s not sure if it’s something he should look past or not.
The couple has started to become more serious with each other and have talked about moving in together at some point soon.
He’s not sure whether this conversation has triggered this odd behavior of hers but thought it was worth mentioning.
When he and his girlfriend are out and about, he often catches her telling small lies to people they come into contact with.
For example, while the two were out walking their dog, another couple came up and started asking questions about their furry friend.
Before he could get in an answer, his girlfriend replies to the couple, telling them how much of a cuddler he is and that she was so glad they adopted him together several years ago. Mind you, he and his girlfriend have only been together for 7 months!
Another example of her telling people little white lies was out at a restaurant. His girlfriend started up a conversation with a new bartender working there and was raving about the restaurant, explaining how it was a favorite date spot of theirs for several years.
“So they are lies. I mean, not a huge deal, as they aren’t hurting anyone, but for some reason, this just irks me to no end,” he explains.

He decided that this behavior bothered him enough to confront his girlfriend about it. Really, he just wanted to understand where this behavior was coming from and why she felt the need to do it. Also, he hoped that this didn’t mean that she was lying to him as well!
“She said it wasn’t a big deal, that she just wanted to feel included in my previous life. And that even though my ex and I adopted my dog together, it’s her dog now, and telling strangers this makes her feel better,” he said.
After hearing her explanation, he tried to be kind and understanding toward her but asked her to stop the bothersome behavior.
She agreed to stop but continued to tell him he was overreacting and had been visibly upset ever since the conversation.
Do you think he should be worried about this habit of hers, or do you think that the lies are harmless and that he shouldn’t pay any mind to it?
