Is boyfriend's reaction to co-workers actions alarming or am I overreacting

My boyfriend has a co-worker who he's became friends with the last couple months. For context, I have met this co-worker and his gf but have not have any interactions beyond polite greetings. I don't have any issues with them and haven't heard anything bad about them.

My bf and I share locations due to safety concerns (I had a stalker who I had to charge criminally). Even before that, I have always told him who I am with and where I am going. More often then not, if I am out without him, he is on the phone with me.

However, I went to the store with a friend while my bf was busy. He knew all the details of this. Called once while I was out (gone maybe 30mins). When I returned, his friend was on the phone with him asking if he knew I was out with this friend.

It did not bother me at first, as he already knew about it. But after reflecting I felt insulted and all the feelings of being watched came flooding back. I brought it up to my bf and he seemed on board with what I was saying that his co-worker crossed a line.

I get bringing it up in a normal conversation saying he'd seen me out ect, but to call just to confirm he knew seems a little much.

Here is where I am getting alarm bells and I am not sure if it is me overreacting or not.

I was talking on the phone, mentioning it to a friend and my bf came in the room saying he was talking in general about the incident to his friend (co-worker) and I said he needed to talk to him that it is insulting and too much. His response was "Why, I like that he does that. I can tell him if I know or not" He was not joking...

Now, Im back on edge feeling like there's someone watching me. Maybe it's just my past trauma fueling this. I have nothing to hide and he knows my every move but this seems a like an over step on both their parts.

Sorry for the long post, I just need some outside opinions .
