First of all, those videos are delusional. They are selling simplification of reality where "they" (being women in this case) are the bad ones while you (men) are the good ones. Complete waste of your time.

Besides if you were to date a cheater, she would find a way to cheat regardless of your effort. Opportunity does not create cheaters, it only enables them. Conversely if she faithful, she will be so without your supervision as well.

Addressing alcohol issue. Yes getting dead drunk in bars/clubs can lead to many bad things, and cheating is far from the top of the list. However, it depends where would they go to, it's not every place is some pit full of predators. Not to mention they will be together in all girls group.

With peace and love, there’s a reason he’s a grown man and dating someone who was a teenager at the start of the relationship, and it’s because he really should not get away with this behavior.

It sounds like he’s a mamas boy, and if he’s not willing to work on that, you’re signing up for this three way relationship. I would really not expect him to change at all

I’m 35 and have no social media. I have never understood the appeal and have absolutely no interest in putting my life out there. If my friends/family want to know how I’m doing, they can call me.

There have been a few women in my life who think it’s a red flag, and it just showed we aren’t compatible. If you feel the same, then leave. The fact he doesn’t have social media isn’t inherently a red flag.

I think this CAN be a red flag for someone who is in a relationship and cheating. There are definitely people who just aren't into social media though. I think it's more like a yellow flag, and definitely not worth breaking up over on its own. If you get other weird feelings, just keep it in mind as a possibility, but I wouldn't stress about it on its own.

I can’t answer the Skype question because I don’t use it, but I’d be alarmed as well. Especially if it’s just meaningless conversations, he’d show you. He’d be 100% comfortable showing you! Something doesn’t sound right here. And unless y’all are spies and he’s undercover (lol) there’s no reason for the secrecy. I feel like he’s panicking and showing you quick glances so you don’t ask anymore questions.

As for how you handle that is on you.
