[quote=Anonymous]I'm a woman, and one of my best friends is a man who recently married his long-term girlfriend - a nice, loving, attractive woman. But I've seen him flirt hard with other girls over the years, and once when he broke up with his then-girlfriend (now wife), he had a lot of one night stands. (Never with me though - he has tried to sleep with me in the past but I was firm that I'd never go there with a close friend and he respected that.)

I've had serious misgivings about him marrying his girlfriend because I just don't think he, personally, was actually that ready for marriage. He's a good man but deeply insecure, and that is why he keeps trying to attract other women without actually sleeping with them - he wants to be technically faithful but he also wants to reassure himself that he has game, that he is desirable. His wife has always tolerated it because he is handsome, rich, and overall a good person and she loves him. But I think she's as insecure as he is (because she tolerates his behavior while not being happy with it) and I'm just worried I see a divorce on the horizon one day.

And it pisses me off whenever I see my friend hitting on other women. I don't think I'm really asking for advice. I think I'm just ranting. My boyfriend and I hosted a huge Super Bowl party yesterday and my best friend and his wife came, along with several other mutual friends/couples and a couple of single women from my workplace. One of those single girls is extremely beautiful, smart, polished, etc and my best friend's eyes lit up when he saw her and he was low-key flirting with her the whole evening and she was responding, while his wife was trying to hide her annoyance. I knew if I pulled him aside he'd just roll his eyes and say I'm overreacting and that his wife trusts him and why don't I trust him, etc. But how can someone be so selfish, and yet also a good person in other ways? It's frustrating.[/quote]
