Why does my boyfriend check out other girls? My boyfriend and I have been seeing each other for the past year, but made it official a mere 4 months ago. In the beginning he was very promiscuous until we got closer. He’s been very good to me, he’s attentive, he’s sweet, and for the most part tries to be understanding. The only time he bothers me is when we go out and he points out “sexy” women. Just last night as we were standing in line and he couldn’t keep his eyes off the cashier, he apologized and said he tries not to do that, but I just don’t know what to do or how to react anymore. He just gave up the apartment we lived in to buy a house together. Please advise.
This goes to the basic premise of men being men. All men “check out” other women. It’s just that some are more discrete than others. The fact that he’s committed to buying a house together with you along with his attentiveness to you means you’re important and a long term commitment. The problem is that every guy’s temptation level is different. Or moreover the taking of the next step in that temptation. He seems to be just fantasizing now. Also, the fact that he’s doing it with you there is a good thing, as he has a built in stop sign. If he’s doing the same thing when you’re not around that might be more serious. But only if he acts on it. If he does that then he’s decided that the relationship with you is not as important as his being unfaithful. Keep an eye on anything more than the normal guy checking out girls thing. As Mick Jagger said: “old habits die hard.”
