Does this make any sense? Do you expect your girlfriend to stand up for you in a situation like this? Someone told me that by the girlfriend not cursing the other guy off and by actually acknowledging him by looking at him, she is humliating and disrespecting her significant other. Because by telling the dude off she is saving her bf the trouble of having to kick the guy's ass.

Form a guy's point of view is this a common thought process? To expect your girlfriend to back you up all the time whenever there are other guys around so they know that she's taken? Or is it expecting too much?

Just a hypothetical question, that's all.

What neanderthalian culture would this be from? I'm married, if some guy looked at my wife instead of looking at me and she looked back at him, I'd have no problem with it. I'm not insecure about our relationship, with the shit we've been through she'd have been long gone, had she wanted to. If any guy is stupid and insecure enough to treat this as a threat, then he really needs to check his head, 'cause he has bigger problems than just his girlfriend looking at another man.
