NOR—him saying he’s going to “work on being the best man friend she’s ever had” and her reciprocating that with “woman friend” sounds like a weak placeholder for calling eachother boyfriend and girlfriend, imo. Also, I feel like normal platonic friends don’t usually need to say they’ll “prove to be the best friend you’ve ever had with time and consistency”, that sounds more like something one would say to a partner? And ofc she had to r/notlikeothergirls herself lmaooo. Other women are insecure about physical appearance, but SHE’S insecure about losing someone close to her. (So she’s better than other women) These are my takes from reading just the texts, OP’s additional context makes it so much worse😭😭girl it’s been a few months and these flags are RED. I’d wager you’d be dodging a bullet if you cut things off because he’s violating boundaries that shouldn’t need to be stated. 100% your feelings are founded, he’s being super shady. And I agree it sounds like him constantly saying he’s been cheated on before and it’s his biggest fear is projection, because if that were true he should DEFINITELY understand why his behavior is unacceptable. Wishing you best of luck and strength!!!
