@mrskinnypantz Apologies if this sounds obtuse, but can you elaborate on what you mean by "staring lustfully"? Serious question.
Reason I ask is because I had a long term boyfriend who was so insecure, he used to imagine that I was doing things like "inappropriately" staring at men, or "inappropriately" behaving (he loved using that word -
inappropriately lol), he even imagined I was out with another man when I didn't jump to answer his text or call immediately.
When the reality was I was simply observing the room, being friendly and polite when spoken to, nothing at all inappropriate, I was actually an extremely loyal girlfriend, and wouid shut down men's advances whether made in his presence or not.
Anyway, not accusing you of anything but staring "lustfully" could be interpreted in many different ways depending on how secure/insecure a man is (or woman if roles were reversed).
To add (and NOT suggesting you do this), but creating an environment wherein your girlfriend is not free to talk to, observe, innocently admire or simply be HERSELF in a social situation is oppressive and controlling.
Would say the same if roles were reversed as well.
JMO.
