I feel disrespected, why invite me ?

I ended up going on a work trip with this man that I previously hooked up with 8 months ago while out of town. We had a long-distance situation going on 3 months prior to me actually meeting him for the first time. After the hookup and us meeting, we stayed in contact this whole time. It never progressed to anything serious.

During our time of communication, he’s always been jealous? Monitoring my posts, making it a priority to tell me he’s caught me with other men out of town just by seeing my socials, yet claims he doesn’t care, etc. So stuff like that, asking me who I’m with on Valentine’s Day, reacting to me being out on dates with other men.

Fast forward to recently, he invites me on a work trip to Vegas. This is the third work trip he’s invited me on, yet the only one I agreed to take, so I go. He ended up paying $400 for my flight last minute. He gets a hotel, a very nice one of course, this is paid by his employer. The whole trip I was stunned, I felt disappointed and disrespected. We were intimate twice during the trip, he was extremely clingy throughout the night. I would wake up to his hand on my chest or just him extremely close to me. Yet that didn’t bother me.

During the whole trip, he was making comments about other women right to me. I know he’s single and so am I, I didn’t take the trip going into it thinking this would turn into anything. Yet the comments became disrespectful and slightly intentional. These are some of the remarks he would make

“Aye, did you see that girl’s butt? It looked too good, has to be fake.”

There were times where the stripper buses would go by with a number on the front, he would tap me and say, “Hey, hurry, write that number down.”

“I wanna go to a strip club.”

“Is the girl singing the song we hear a baddie?”

There was a time when I was standing right next to him and this one chick was giving him eye contact. He turns his whole body to face her right in front of me and just stares at her. I removed myself and wandered around, and it took him 7 minutes to call me to find out where I was.

While we were walking, he would purposely stop and talk to stripper promoters and ask questions right in front of me.

He was doing all this while spending money on me, us going to dinner, breakfast together.

I’m a very beautiful girl, so I was getting stares and compliments 24/7. While he was working, I was out shopping for hours, and there were men stopping me asking to pay for my things, etc. Yet I wasn’t going to throw that in his face. Even while he was at his work conference, he was still texting me asking me where I’m at, what I’m doing, etc.

I’m just confused why you would waste your money and fly a girl to you on your trip just to act like this. Why not just go alone?

Mods please don’t delete this, this isn’t a repost, just my version that I couldn’t explain.

I don’t. You know of you are good looking or not. You know if people's are perusing you. I don’t think that means ‘screams up there self’s’

It’s not a failing or indeed a persons fault if people them attractive and of course in some religions women have to hide their beauty to stop men from desiring.

I agree with the posters saying this bloke is a wanker and he’s never going to treat you well.

and of course in some religions women have to hide their beauty to stop men from desiring.

What a weirdly irrelevant thing to say, especially given that in such religions all women, not just beautiful ones, have to cover up.

but she's the 1 calling herself attractive I don't think I would ever say I was good looking on a post just screams up there self's mean she could have 3 eyes i just think calling your self beautiful to a page of randoms is weird

I assume she is being factual - that kind of thing does happen to attractive women and may be a factor in the controlling behaviour of the dickhead she's with.

I'm a complete minger and always have been, I'd certainly mention it if I thought it was relevant to the issue in hand.
