Does he really love me?

1

So I've been dating this guy for like 6 months now & everything seems perfect when we're alone. He's sweet, caring, & always makes me feel special. But when we're out with friends or at parties, he flirts with every girl in front of me. Like, it's not just being friendly, it's full on flirting - touching their arms, laughing at their jokes, the whole thing. I've talked to him about it before, but he just says I'm being paranoid & that he loves me. I want to believe him, but it's hard when I see him behaving like that. I feel like I'm going crazy, because a part of me thinks he's just being friendly, but another part thinks he's disrespecting me. Has anyone else dealt with something like this? I just need some advice or someone to vent to... been feeling really down about this lately, feels like a ghosting situation but we're still together

    I went through something almost identical with my ex and it drove me crazy. He’d be all lovey-dovey one-on-one but the second we hit a group, he was handsy with his so-called ‘just friends’. Said I was insecure every time I brought it up. What finally helped me was setting a clear boundary: I told him the next time I saw him flirting like that, I’d leave the room. And I did. First time it happened, I got up and walked to the car. He was confused at first but after two times, the behavior stopped. But here’s the thing — it didn’t feel like a win, because I shouldn’t have to police my own worth. What changed for me was asking myself: if he really loved me, would he keep hurting me even after I asked him to stop? Love isn’t just words — it’s action, respect, and making you feel safe. If he can’t give you that in public, maybe he doesn’t value you like you need to be valued. I ended things and honestly, it freed me. You deserve better than guessing your worth
