Is it possible a man is lying to his girlfriend about loving her if he still teases and flirts and stares at another woman in their friend circle?

A woman who liked him and whenever he sees her, even if the girlfriend is there, he gives her attention? I mean if he really loved his girlfriend surely he would not be giving any mixed signals to another woman? I mean maybe if the woman was a total stranger I could understand a bit of light hearted flirting, but this woman is not a stranger.

Funny, because I dealt with the same. And it’s not possible, it’s a fact that he does not love her, and that he’s probably a narcissist. He is trying to induce insecurities in the woman and an insecure woman’s #1 fear in a relationship is being cheated on.

Now, it depends on the woman how she would respond. I know a lot of women who would stay because that’s all they know. They will stay and keep trying to keep his attention which is what he wants. It’s stupid and immature on both parts. This woman is ultimately destroyed by the man because she could never win over a man like that, so it’s best she just leaves the relationship.

I know this so well because I know a girl in a relationship with a man who always talked to other women (including trying to talk to me) and she would always attack the WOMAN never his cheating ways. Men like this, will always cheat. You can never be enough for him and he wants multiple women to fight over him. You can pour your heart to him, he will not care. If she chooses to ignore/compete with his immaturity, she is also immature.

Very possible plus it’s in very poor taste. He’s an insensitive jerk

But the girlfriend doesn’t seem to call him out or take issue with his behaviour.. why? Is she just seeing what she wants to see? It’s hard to believe because she’s v smart..

Maybe she doesn’t care

Why wouldn’t she care if she loves him?
