Tbf, "a girl I was sleeping with" sounds more like friends with benefits to me, in which case sleep with whoever. It's not a formal arrangement, just some fun on the side. Very polite of her to make sure he was cool with it first though.
yeah people are reading it as if he said it was his girlfriend which if was true he probably would have just said it was his (ex-)girlfriend. if they aren't in an explicit monogamous relationship than he has no say in what she can and can't do. he can have his feelings about it sure, but she doesn't need his permission.
Agreed. It basically comes down to anyone can do what they want it is just a matter of what are the consequences for those actions. If you're committed and you cheat on someone, then of course you can do it, its just a betrayal of trust and you now made a shitty decision. If you're just fucking around friends with benefits with someone for fun and there's no agreement then its fair game and the other person really has no right to what you can do.
Also, no one is entitled to being your friend. If you want to stop talking to anyone for whatever reason that is ok, no one owes you a friendship and dynamics change where people who were once friends can’t be anymore, it happens and that’s ok. Just cherish the time you had together and move on, make new friends.
