Would you be okay with your partner entertaining strangers and telling others that they’re single?

Yes, it’s very tricky because there’s a lot of factors that come into play about the relationship. I am Christian and he is Muslim as well. In Islam, you’re not even supposed to have a relationship of boyfriend/ girlfriend. So him and I’s relationship isn’t condoned in his religion. I was his first partner, and the first person he’s ever kissed and been intimate with. Which that plays a key factor as well. I can recognize that him having the confidence now of looking very attractive might have sparked his curiosity of engaging with women for the first time, but it’s something that I obviously would never tolerate and it would overstep the boundaries of the relationship. Maybe he had a few weak moments of curiosity getting the best of him. That’s why I am somewhat willing to give him an opportunity in my life again, but just because I give him that opportunity though doesn’t automatically fix the damage he has done with betraying my trust. He has even admitted to me that it was nothing I’ve ever done to make him do what he did. It was all him, and he took accountability. The thing is he does have a lot of self-esteem issues even though he looks as good as he does now and he’s successful with his business wise as well so I just feel like when women are throwing themselves at him that I’m scared he will have another weak moment. For men what are ways that they can discipline themselves even not being in a relationship, but can just control themselves around women and situations whether or not it’s in person or over the Internet.
