Me and my girlfriend have been dating for almost seven months now. After the first month she did something that is really really bad almost up there with cheating. She had planned to do things with this other guy once we break up and they had also talked about how they should get married and all these things. I know these things happened because she is the one that had told me she did it so I forgave her and told her not to do it again. She agreed and never talked to that guy again. But it left me unable to fully trust her with other guys and there is always many other guys that like her and are always flirting with her but she doesn't think its flirting even though I've told her that it is considered flirting. But most of the guys don't really bother me much that they like her but the fact that she lets them flirt with her and lets them try to break us up. There's this one guy that used to be my best friend but he just used me to get to her and now there "best friends." when I first thought he had begun to like her I told her about it and soon everyone in school but her thought he liked her and even on several occasions I would get up to five people asking me if they were going out and not her and I. so then that's when me and my old friend decided to not talk to each other anymore. often he would lie to her saying I did things that I didn't or saying I said things which I would never say and even saying the only reason I go out with her is because she's hot! so then she would get mad at me thinking these things are true and I would explain to her they are not at all true and he's lying just to break us up. this happened for about five months until one day the "best friend" who didn't like her at all or didn't even want to go out with her had asked her if she would take a picture of herself naked and give it to him. finally she believed me that he liked her and was unhappy with him for about two hours and she wasnt even mad with him one bit. I told her she needs to get rid of him or he's just going to do this over again and she said I can't stop him from doing things. so then I told her you can if you just don't talk to him at all and she asked "do you know how mean that would be he crys enough as it is when I don't text him back within 5 minutes?" after that was over she continued to be friends with him and later made her unhappy (im the only person to ever accomplish actually making her mad) when he told her she needs to break up with me. she was unhappy for about three days then they were back to flirting and him telling her ever time he jacks off and jolly ol' times. But now she's been making sure she's really good to me and doesn't get mad anymore and even tells me all her biggest secrets but she still lets all those guys flirt with her and flirts back with them. what I really want to know is a good way to either break up with her for these things in a way that will be least hurtful as possible or a way to tell her and get her to stop doing those? thanks!

First of all, if you are going to get involved with a pretty woman (all women are pretty to someone but some are pretty to more than others), you are going to have to accept the fact she is going to get hit on, and grow to the point where the physical is getting the right level of attention in your relationship. The fact she was willing to play the gullible, naive, part for a controlling guy, tells me she has issues regarding control. She may not feel comfortable about not having someone control, or manipulate her, since when someone is dong so, she knows where she stands.
The problem is that she was willing to let one guy control and manipulate her, while she was supposedly committed to another. This gives me two things to focus your attention on. One is that you were focused on how you were feeling about the situation, rather than talking it out with her and finding out what she was getting from him, that she wasn't getting from you. Maybe she saw the control/manipulation of texting, etc. as proof he cared about her.
Ask her to tell you how she feels when people talk with her in a manner you consider to be flirting. Listen to her and don't judge her. She has a right to her feelings, just as you have a right to yours. Respect her and be patient. Let her take her time and think it through. Then, talk it out and see where the source of that feeling, or need, is. Did her dad show her affection, or not? If so, did he stop when she started becoming a woman? If so, the flirting is filling the need for affection from a safe source which, as a boyfriend, you might not qualify as.
There are an infinite number of possibilities, so pray before, during and after, letting God show you the issues, and how He wants to deal with them. Don't just listen to her words, listen to and observe her non-verbal communications too. Listen for what she omits, brushes over, focuses on, etc., considering it prayerfully. Validate her feelings and concerns, even if you don't agree with them. It is not about you, it is about her.
After you have invested in her, share your feelings with her and let her know what she does that causes you to feel betrayed. Don't accuse her, affirm her and let her know that you see her as something wonderful and awesome, even if her behaviors cause you pain. Respect her and see if she will respect you in return. Treat her like the princess she is, but act like her prince.
It may be your turn to talk to the guys who are approaching her, sometimes, to let them know they are disrespecting you both by flirting with her. She is not the only one in the relationship and she is also not the man in the relationship. Work together to solve the problem and you will grow together. Make her work alone and you will grow apart.
