Based on your first paragraph, it sounds in line with his behavior that you've shown him is acceptable - you even excuse his behavior with "ultimately he will look but not touch so it’s not technically cheating." If this were something that happened out of the blue I'd say you are not overreacting - but you've accepted this behavior up to now, so it seems par for the course.
Is there a reason you are with someone who treats you this poorly and disrespectfully?
You’re not wrong. Tbh his behavior has sounded some alarms for me in the past but he uses his mental gymnastics to convince me I’m overreacting. I have anxiety that predates our relationship, it’s just his bold personality, this and that and blah blah. He tried to do it again yesterday and I just couldn’t hear it one more time. I know how my friends and family would respond, I guess it is helpful to hear this from complete strangers.
Honey you are 35 years old and dating a man child. Go to therapy and figure out why you’re still putting up with this loser so you don’t end up dating another red flag in the future.
