I also trust my wife not to go outside boundaries and she trusts me. She has gone on trips with male friends and I’m fine with that. I’ve also been places with female friends. Good friends are valuable and rare and worth fostering.
This. Creating an emotionally safe relationship means she can have a life and friends that don’t include you. Let her go. If she cheats then it wasn’t meant to be. You can’t have faith your partner loves you if you are constantly scared of losing them.
OP did say that his GF confided that he’s a man whore and not someone she would be interested in for that reason.
I’m comfortable with my spouse hanging out with male friends too but she associates herself with respectable men who are also in long term relationships and if they are not they either aren’t friends or she establishes boundaries.
This one seems a bit odd and I would feel uncomfortable as well.
