Moral of the story.

People get a high on attention and someone being interested in them.

It's okay to be jealous in a relationship. And it's okay to voice whether or not you feel comfortable with your partner doing things with certain people. Because at the end of the day he is dating you and not the other girl. I would just tell him that you do not prefer that he has physical contact with her in the future.

Your friends threw you a party and you’re sad? Not everyone likes to write cards. I am also the kind of person who would love a heartfelt card but you can’t demand it, some people just don’t feel good at it. I have a wonderful ex boyfriend whom I dated for three and a half years and was very caring but never once gave me a card even though he knew I would love it. It’s just not something everyone does. Your girlfriend tried to get you something and you declined. That was how she wanted to celebrate you. BUT you had a great party! Why isn’t that enough to make you happy?

My thoughts are:

  1. He's still lying to you.

  2. This entire story is shady and unrealistic as hell.

  3. He's not just "being a wingman," he and his buddy are picking up women together. There is zero reason for the wingman to actually go to the friend's girl's place, he would just be in the way. That story is absolutely another lie.

  4. You can tell a lot about a person's values by who they choose to spend their time around, and in this case your shady lying boyfriend is choosing to spend his time with a guy who cheated on his fiancee.

It's absolutely a way to distract you from your feelings.

Again, I really don't believe your boyfriend is thinking of anyone in particular when he says "other women don't have an issue with it". It's just an excuse he throws out there to feel more justified in continuing his inappropriate behaviour. It's like when a man is called out for cat-calling and claims "none of the other women I yelled inappropriate things at ever complained to me about it".
