I feel like the issue here is how it's normalized to be dating a bunch of people at once. I get you can't be exclusive with every rando you have a first date with, but the vibe of this is different than if he was just the last in a line of men she dated. In the serial format, theoretically any of them could be the one. In the casual format, you could be fricking around with hotter people while cultivating a backup to settle with. Most people probably "settle" in the end, but this combination feels a little more insulting.
Generally agree that he overreacted, but this kind of thing does hurt. The moral of the story is to delete fricking everything and never hand your SO the phone.

This scenario pretty much fuels some of the most dramatic posts on reddit because it's so context and detail specific that you could come up with a countless number of situations where either side is in the wrong. Reddit's (neurodivergent as frick) answer is that until you make it explicitly official you can keep fricking/dating around, but this kind of hides the fact that there's so much going on that's indirect and unsaid. While reddit brings up this defense for the foids in these posts, in the real world moids use this type of ambiguity to their advantage all the time, and you can see reddit's collective opinion go the other way when they see the posts from the foid who is complaining about this.
