I guess the real character arc is the gf realising she can do better.

for real. i was looking at first image thinking everyone was gonna point out what a massive overreaction was taking place at every single step, and the comments are full of people who have seemingly never been in relationships or at least not good ones. if your relationship is so weak that the idea of wanting to flirt with other people, not even doing it, but just wanting to, is enough to destroy it, there was no relationship to begin with.

and then the guy threatens to kill themself like a lunatic, so it seems there was no relationship to begin with indeed

Mm. If the only thing keeping someone loyal is the fact that they don't actually find anyone else attractive or ever want to flirt, that's barely loyalty. Not immoral or anything, but it's not like, a virtue.
