Am I the asshole for introducing my 3yr old to my new “friend”

r/

I (25F) and BD (28M) have been broken up since January 1st. It had been a rocky couple of months before the actual break up. I’m okay. It hurt more so for my son but honestly I knew i’d be okay. I just knew we weren’t meant for each other and that’s okay.
A little back story. It was my decision. It ultimately came down to constant let downs. No help with our son (3M). BD works out of town Monday-Saturday.
Only sees our son every other weekend. I drop him off around 8pm Saturday night and pick him up Sunday around 5pm. He has an apartment close to where we live. Roughly 15 min away. I’ve noticed he’s been in town several times and does not care to see our son. I’ve brought this up to him multiple times and claims to be looking for a job in town because he doesn’t want to be away from our son anymore.
My “friend” (28M) and I have been knowing each other since high school. Have been in contact ever since here and there. We’d catch up ask each other how we’ve been etc. Nothing else. In the beginning of February we met up to catch up and well things just clicked. I did not bring him around my son until March because I didn’t just want to bring my son around just anyone. My son and friend hit it off pretty nicely, they play together my son will ask “where is friend” a lot.
Last weekend my son saw his dad and brought up mom’s “friend”. My son told him my mom had to take him somewhere because my friend was sleeping on our bed. (NOT TRUE). My son speaks alot and sometimes his stories don’t really make sense lol. But my BD believes him..
BD asked me who this friend was and well it went downhill from there.
He proceeded to tell me “You’re a stupid fucking bitch, you better end that shit fast. You have no Idea how much you are harming our son by bringing some fucking dude into his life that is probably not going to stick around.” Is telling me im putting our son’s phycological wellbeing at risk and just completely going OFF on me.

I dont know what to think here chat. Am I the asshole here? Am I harming my baby?
