It sounds like you've decided you want to be with him.

But he doesn't feel the same.

If he's giving you excuses for why he slept with you, he's not fully into you.

Edit. He said you made him uncomfortable at work so you left the job??? But still ok sleeping with you?

He's either using you for sex or completely embarrassed to be in a relationship woth you(likely someone your age)

Either is a huge red flag

Okay you need to seriously read what you wrote - you asked him if he was cheating and he said no- Umm so he will just send nudes to anyone that asks??? That makes no sense. Of course he was having a sexting conversation!!! Please don’t close your eyes on this subject an innocent person does not send nude pictures of themselves to anyone !!!

It's not uncommon for patients to "fall in love" with their doctors and this is even more of a factor in the mental health field. Most of the time physicians can maintain their professional composure and they're trained in how to handle these situations. But it sounds like she finally reached her limit and has allowed your persistence to break her patience. She should probably take a vacation to regain her ability to cope with this kind of thing.

To me, it sounds plainly like he is just not over his ex-girlfriend.

The fact that he calls you immature just for bringing it up and uses phrasing such as "other women don't have an issue with it" suggests that he is the one being immature here.

What "other women"? Why do these other women's feelings seemingly take precedence over yours, the person he is currently dating? And if you're the only woman in his whole vicinity to question his interactions with his ex-girlfriend, why isn't he dating one of those other women instead?

I'm not at all suggesting that he has any specific women in mind, but people who use this line of argument are usually people who are in the wrong and can't think of anything better to say. If it were me, I would think I deserve more than to be compared to a bunch of unspecified women who probably don't exist and whose opinions anyway have no relevance.

Edit: missing word

So the policy at my work is until you test positive you can still go to work. Even if you’re living with someone who has covid. I always wear a mask though. That’s the other part that gets me. Is that knowing that my boyfriend got me sick, 1) he still doesn’t test himself and 2) he’s still going out. When I know dang well if someone was out with covid he’d throw a fit.

Fellow majority guy friend-having woman here. I think you’re likely overthinking here, and lying to yourself a bit. You say you trust your girlfriend not to cheat, but you don’t seem to trust her to be smart enough to see when a guy is trying to “seduce” her and not fall for it.

I liked what you said about having respect for your partner. When my husband and I started dating I was very much running with the boys, spending lots of time at sports bars chatting people up, etc. I felt free to be friendly with whoever, including exes that ended on good terms, but my personal boundary was about respect. If I caught any whiff of a guy trying to slide in through the friend door or if anyone tried to undermine/sow doubt/disrespect my boyfriend or our relationship, they were gone immediately. After seeing it happen a time or two by boyfriend got much more comfortable because he really did know he could trust me.

If you’re worried about exes being friends, maybe this will make you feel better: I was always able to be so friendly with them because I was never really that interested in them romantically. It was more of a buddy that I tried dating for a second only to find it was a bad fit and we were better as friends. Most went for the friend route initially. The ones that were real friends stayed in my life, the ones that were just hoping to get back with me eventually drifted away when their best efforts only got the friend version of me. I knew what they were up to the whole time but found that just waiting them out was the best way to live drama-free. Your girlfriend could very well be using a similar strategy.

So, he's capable of earning more, had an opportunity to do so, and turned it down. He doesn't want to give up his comfortable arrangement with you, only thinks about what's important to him, and you have to pick up the slack.

He's selfish and taking advantage of you, and there will always be another excuse around the corner for why he can't contribute more.

You can do better than this. He's not on your level.

"I lied to you because i knew you'd be mad, but now I'm gonna try to convince you that what I did should have been okay anyway so that I can deflect from the fact that you caught me lying".

He's out with his friend who got dumped for cheating and he lied to you. That's a lot to process. And he wants you to believe you have the "whole truth" now. Ha.
