I have zero respect for these "men." They are an embarrassment, and their women would gladly fuk me because they love that I value myself enough that when a woman is with me, she won't act like a hor. I've seen it in their eyes.
I'm not talking about the OP's specific situation, I'm talking about relationships in general.
Monogamy may not be "natural", but neither is dressing up in a suit and tie and going to meetings every day. If you are in an arrangement or serious relationship with a woman, she has an obligation to keep herself in check in respect to your authority, and the resources you're giving her.
It is difficult for men who can't provide significant value (especially financial) to a woman to understand this concept. If you're literally nothing more to her than a hard d!ck when she wants one, then of course you're replaceable, and of course she'll fuk around. You have nothing special.
But if you are a high value male (high income, status, abilities, ambitions, etc.) then you absolutely do not accept that type of disregard. She is lucky to be with you and she knows it (edit: better know it)
NO, not every woman is going to fall in line with that frame. Some will cheat and you just have to dump them. But there are women who won't cheat.
Demand better for yourself.
You just don't get it.......your viewpoint comes from one of fear...it's about caring or not caring...i used to believe the same thing you do...but experience has taught me indifference holds the ultimate power in a relationship...not saying don't care about her as a person..i am talking about not caring about the possibility of her cheating or leaving you...if you truly believe you can always get something better or at least just as good at the snap of a hat than it's a silly fear to have logically speaking...
If you aren't afraid of losing her or her straying then her behavior will naturally snap in line completely...my guess is this girl's ex was more secure acting than the OP and didn't worry about losing her as much and probably more manly acting in general...thus she still gravitates toward the ex....
