My girlfriend shamelessly flirts with other men and tells me all about it
DEAR DEIDRE: WHENEVER my girlfriend returns home after an evening out, she tells me about all the lads she has been talking to.
I am 26 and she is 24. We have been together for almost a year and mostly things are great between us.
She also flirts with random guys on social media, sometimes adding them as friends.
I have tried talking to her about this because it makes me doubt her and I really do want to be able to trust her.
I know some of her friends who she goes out with and they can be wild and raucous.
I asked her how she would feel if I was talking to other women and then coming home to tell her about it. She just says she knows that’s not my style and admits she wouldn’t be happy.
She says she is only having harmless fun and that it is me who she loves. But I don’t understand why it is OK for her to talk to other guys, but not me with other females.

DEIDRE SAYS: She may not see it as flirting, but if your girlfriend can talk to other men, then you should be able to talk to other women.
As the saying goes “Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you”. That certainly applies here.
Any communications with other guys should be clearly friendly, rather than flirty.
Trust is so important for the success of any relationship, and if you’re struggling with that, then maybe this relationship isn’t for you.
