Sure. I left that one for Mr. Stress to figure out.

lot of cake eaters here trying to rationalize this polyamorous lifestyle at the expense of OP being relationship road kill. pretty sad considering they would not accept the same treatment from their SO.

My friends are upright, self-respecting people, who would have had their last button pushed if someone had done that to them.

Yup. But there are lots of lonely people who'll take anything they can get these days. Ending up being road kill is part of the territory.

You are a convenient doormat. You are the one being disrespected; walk away while you still have some dignity.

Who knows what the OP actually did at the party to so enrage his girlfriend? There are always two sides to any situation, and I think the OP may have boundary issues. ( leaving SO at a bar to go do what he wants, gossiping about his SO to the boss' wife) those two things would raise my ire. I think they have Both have done things that weren't cool and they have a terrible time communicating.

Regardless, it's not that big of a deal. They can either work it out or break up.



In some social circles people kiss each other with a simple peck. It's not a make out session. I even platonically kiss my girlfriends and their husbands on the cheek.

HELLO! Key words: "on the cheek". Case closed.

Yes and yes. It's really not about the co-workers. It's all about respect. She has none for you. Move on to someone who's more mature and shares your interests and priorities.

Seriously, OP, there are so many better, tastier fish in the sea. Know what I'm saying? You don't have to put up with this.

When I was single. I loved to drink and party. Granted I would never drink at home unless I was going out. I.e. pre-gaming. None of this "two a night" type of thing. But I went out probably 3-5 nights a week many weeks, and drank and partied hard.

That being said, when I was in a relationship, every relationship, that lifestyle loses it's lust. I have little to no desire to keep up with it. Twice I've dated women who I felt drank too much and it impacted our relationship, much like the OP's gf.. My gf is almost 21, and we've been together 2.5 years. Basically in her "prime" in terms of drinking. Yet in the last few years I've seen her buzzed maybe a couple times. She'll have a drink ever like 4 or 5 months, or if we're with family or at the beach, which are all rare.

Sounds like you need the same, OP. Not everyone's lifestyles can coincide like that. Mine doesn't.
