My ex husband never took me to his company outings,,well there are many reasons other than that he become my ex. I don't think your GF cheating on you some company parties are not for partners so take it easy!
I personally would feel beyond disrespected if a female kissed me on the lips in front of my gf, and then glared at her of all things lol. Trying to picture that going down in my head. If someone did that to her, I would feel equally as disrespected..
Some people are cool with that, some are not. I am not. I could never imagine another man kissing my mom on the lips in front of my dad?
As to the rest, it sounds like she just sucks. Starting with the casino. How long they all took my girlfriend would be apologizing to me for it taking so long, not yelling at me for going to gamble after 4 hours of sitting around drinking/eating, and vice versa.
I can understand the need to make a good impression on your coworkers and friends with your significant other, but after the first time or two, if you two are truly a good match it should never be an issue.
nice job trying to change the subject. and if i did, it wouldn't be embarassed about it.
...and as a married woman, it is so unfortunate that you believe this is acceptable committed relationship behavior and it is OP! that must adjust his conduct to deal with it. and if the roles were reversed i am sure OP would be reading screams and character attacks instead.
I didn't bring up prostitutes...you did.
All we know is that she wants to drink and party and her boyfriend doesn't. She was embarrassed by him and doesn't want to take him to stuff. The kiss wasn't a make out session or anything. I am sure it was a peck. That's not appropriate, but that's a different issue than the work stuff.
Whatever happened, we only hear one side. Maybe he was a jerk about it. Maybe he is the nicest sweetest guy and his girl is terrible. Telling him to dump her and go see some prostitutes seems like pretty radical behavior.
basically He wants her work occasions to go the way he wants, but they are her work occasions. I personally would have sucked it up and stayed at the bar. I do stuff all the time I don't want to do, to support my husband at work parties because it's not about me or my enjoyment.
They are at different points in their lives. They can work things out or break up. Only the OP can figure this one out.
Sounds like she is ready to party and have a good time, and you're ready to go to bed.
To far apart, at two different points in life.
Too far apart, indeed!
The OP needs to find someone on his wavelength.

This made me laugh!
The girlfriend is obvious VERY different than the ex-wife. Expecting the casino outing to be the same was ludicrous on the OP's part.
Stay with it. She is 7 years younger and I imagine the sex must be good. You already put up with so much already so why stop now? If this is not the advice you want, then I'm not sure why you are asking about something so obvious.

I am not going to do back and read the long initial post, but it seemed strongly implied to me that these were specifically company events where significant others were expected, if that is not the case than he misrepresented the situation.
Your girlfriend is a jerk. She does not respect you. I cannot believe a guy (a former FWB, no less) would kiss her on the lips right in front of you, and then glare at you. Wow. And then for her to think that that was okay??!!!
And have "cute little nicknames" for him??!!
It's obvious she has been telling him negative stuff about you if he thought he could get away with that (and did). No normal guy is going to do something like that to another man unless he is convinced that the girlfriend will allow it, and that the boyfriend will not react.
Do you even have to wonder what kind of an idiot she is?
You need to get rid of her. Stat!
