This one actually humored me a bit
Anon's girlfriend comes up to him, excitedly wanting to go to a concert for her favorite singer along with her friends but also really wants anon to go with her too. He isn't that interested in the singer but he figures it'll at least be fun since it's a night out with his girlfriend. Instead he watches as his girlfriend and her friends go rabid fangirl mode and (in anon's view) watches as his girlfriend instantly lusts for the singer. He insists to himself that he would never do this if he met a female celebrity over and over. The event now has given him "the ick" and he's been ignoring his girlfriend since.
Anon my friend have you ever considered at the ripe old age of 28 you're just feeling genuine insecurity? There's nothing wrong about that per say but you're really self-destructing on this scenario. This would be a classic case where you just break down and admit to your girlfriend that her fangirling bothered him a bit, she'll probably be like "Oh haha I guess I got overly excited in the moment but don't worry babe I only love you." and unless you catch her cheating on you with the singer (really, really unlikely) you'll be fine. As for needing to reassure himself that he would never do that I think he's narrowing the category a bit. Okay maybe he wouldn't horn dog for an actress. But what if he's going wild for an anime girl or a girl in a video game or something? Does he not think his girlfriend could feel the same moment of insecurity? It's also possible he genuinely wouldn't feel anything for anyone but his girlfriend but then he'd have to realize that makes him one type of personality and his girlfriend another. He can't just instantly assume his girlfriend would toss him aside in a heartbeat if she had the chance to grab onto some shirtless country singer. In fact the fact she WANTED you there shows she clearly A. Loves you and B. Wants you to trust her when she goes on nights out with her friends like this and C. That she wants to share a moment that's important to her with you.
