I've been living with my girlfriend a short time and i've started to see things that make me feel uncomfortable when it comes to her and men. Maybe i'm being unreasonable but let me explain:
- She had an ex boyfriend come to her house (before we moved in together) and pick her up and take her to the pub for a few hours. She'd left me with the impression that she was staying in her house and so when I called her and she answered from a pub I was a bit confused. She didn't tell me who she was with and lied about being on her own until I said it was obvious she wasn't. She then told me she was with her ex.
- She is arranging to meet up for a few drinks with 2 single guys from work who are in their early 20's (my girlfriend is 37). She tells me they're just friends. She messages them almost every day.
- She arranged to meet up with another bloke who she'd fallen for a few years ago and wanted him to leave his wife. We'd had a falling out when she contacted him to arrange to meet up, but she hasn't yet.
- She's talking about her works Xmas Do (2025) and told me how she'd spend all night with 2 blokes. One of them is married and they kissed at last years Xmas Do and she fell for him (we weren't together then). Since we've been together she's messaged him but deleted all the messages from her phone. The other bloke she sent flirty messages to on the build up to the Xmas Do and suggested she sneaks him into the ladies toilet. They all went back to the second blokes house last year and apparently nothing happened. Since we've been together he's made sexually inappropriate comments to her which she doesn't have a problem with.
- She told me she was going for a dog walk at 7.30pm but instead went to the pub for 3 1/2 hours. I knew something wasn't right as she didn't have her dog walking clothes on but instead spent over an hour getting ready and had a dress on. During the evening, she got herself caught in a lie having initially said she was only with her female friend but then told me she was also with 1 bloke who was gay. A couple of weeks later and she tells me there was a second bloke and she also tells me that these blokes (who she'd never met before) bought her drinks. Last week I was in the same pub with her and some bloke comes over and knows her name and says hello to her. She said that she'd just said hello to him on the above night, however, he was acting like she knew a lot about him by the way he was conversing with her. He returned to his friend where he told his friend about my girlfriend. I know this as I went to the bar and caught him mid conversation at which point he froze and said "this is X's fella who I was just telling you about". He was discussing things that weren't discussed when he saw us 5 mins earlier.
- We went out for her daughters birthday earlier this week and went to a family friendly pub that has a play area for kids. A few minutes after arriving we went to the bar together and I ordered drinks. I turned around to find her literally running after a Dad and his daughter. I walked back to our table and she takes the drink I bought her and goes and sits with the Dad (his daughter now in the play area with the other children). She spends about 20 mins with him until one of her friends starts trying to get her to come and sit back with me, which she finally does. We order food and eat together and then she makes an excuse to go to the bar with the Dad even though her friend wanted to go to the bar with her (she ignored her friend who ended up going to the bar on her own). Later, a photo is being taken and i'm stood next to my girlfriend. She then moves and positions herself in front of this Dad.
- Her WhatsApp and Facebook are littered with men contacting her whilst I can count on one hand how many women actually message her.
- She has someone she refers to as a 'work husband'. She has assured me that they are just friends and I don't suspect anything dodgy.
- She has another male friend who she messages almost every day.
It just all feels a bit much and i'm just wondering if i'm being unreasonable for feeling so uncomfortable with it.
