Melissa, I'm glad you're here. But I don't think you should be looking for a popular opinion. You need to figure out what you want because this relationship will affect you not any of us. The fact you're here, at PsychCentral, is really encouraging for me to see because it shows you're willing to take initiative in making your relationship better.

Take time to figure out how you feel about this situation. Are you happy with him talking to other women in the way you've explained? Do you feel like you still love him? If you still love him, is it worth working through this potential conflict?

These are all questions you should ask yourself. A relationship is 100%/100% from each person, not 50%/50%. He may "take all your issues in stride" but that doesn't mean you have to enable something he does (talking to other women) if it hurts you and your relationship with him.

Best Wishes,
Biggs
