You know, a woman who had been promiscuous recently would be expected to turn 180 degrees from that lifestyle, to express guilt and remorse, etc., and a guy who looked beyond this recent past would feel like an incredibly open-minded and tolerant guy and would probably have trouble trusting her. It amazes me that a pick-up artist who dated multiple women simultaneously would think he could shift easily into the role of conventional boyfriend while openly taking the attitude that his past behavior was merely "success with women.". Especially at age 37. Men can say all day long that there should be no repercussions for men, but as the OP is learning, there are.

I'm fairly confident in saying that Ascension is not the mack daddy everyone assumes he is. He dated a lot, but most attractive guys do.

I'm just gonna add my take on this- my neighbor was possibly one of the best looking men I've seen. Perfect body, gorgeous all the way around. And his personality was awesome, too- he could & did charm the pants off anyone, lol
As his neighbor, I watched the scores of girls he'd have overnight (not all at once, lol) And I'd wonder how any girl would be able to settle down with him. He's a wild one, with a good heart, but I'd never be able to be with someone like that.
Ascension you got your work cut out for you

Btw, I had an opportunity to be just another number to this dude- I said thanks but no thanks

Sorry, this is little long winded, but its not often i ask for relationship advice on here. Is there anything I could do differently to provide reassurance my GF is seeking? Is proving my loyalty and commitment with my actions not enough? What do you guys think is causing these issues and how would you proceed if you were in my shoes?
you live together, both are in you 30s, she wants to be married a have kids within 3-5 years. your still acting single like no plans on being 100% exclusive, she knows you could have options after her, she wants you to fish or cut bait.

hey alpha. marriage makes you beta. game over.

It may be true that your ex-neighbor and Ascension and the guy in the 100 thread are into racking up the bedpost notches, but some mansl*ts, and some womansl*ts, just like sex and variety. Some even connect deeply, albeit temporarily, with each partner. No joke.

Personally I see no need to over-analyze their lifestyles.....
If they're not hurting anyone & they're happy, more power to 'em
