Why does my boyfriend make inappropriate jokes about other girls?

Anonymous
I love my boyfriend and I think he's the greatest except that sometimes he makes really hurtful jokes. I just choose to ignore it when he does but this morning I just had enough. He makes jokes about having other girls in different ways. He says stuff like "oh then I guess I have to find someone else to have sex or dinner with." He makes jokes about how I would hook up with my colleague. He likes other girl's pictures on Instagram and especially this one girl who has an interest in him. I've been thinking that I shouldn't bother but now I've had enough. I'm at a family party with him right now and I'm so pissed at him I have chose to ignore him. He's been asking me what's wrong and is trying to cheer me up but I don't want to start a fight with him now. I have even started considering breaking up with him because of how it makes me feel. I'm too ashamed to tell my friends about the whole thing, I don't really know what to do.
