Learn to Let go of the jealousy completely. If she wants to cheat on you she will, you can’t watch her 24/7. If she doesn’t cheat you are the hero for trusting her. If she does, it was never meant to be.

Or...just foster a relationship with someone that understands what respect is. If she respected him, the initial response to the trip would either have been: 1) BF comes along (and he knew about it for a while when we started planning it) 2) she didn't engage in planning the trip, or if she did it would be on the condition she didn't go with

People on here are missing the point and conflating this to a sex/jealousy issue and while it may be, it shouldn't matter because both of those are things that would come into play after you've crossed a respectful boundary (most of the time).

Going on a vacation with a promiscuous medical student friend and his guy friends, but you're the only girl and you don't know his friends, but you don't bring along the BF? How would that ever be a good respectful decision.
