This is a good point. It's one of my peeves when people are like "oh i'm too jealous" and leave it at that. That's a flaw and time bomb you can work on.
A friend of mine told me about how a guy in her friend group broke up with his girlfriend because he didn't like that she was dancing at a concert. He just leapt all the way to the idea that she was cheating on him. The insecurity would be laughable if I wasn't low grade worried he's going to do violence to a woman in the future. Just chill out, my guy.
In college I was dating someone, and she was like "What would you do if I made out with a guy at a party??" I thought about it for a while, and asked "Are you going to come back to me after? We'll still be together?". She was like, "Yeah." I thought about it some more and went, "OK. So long as you show up for our plans, and are safe, it's not a problem for me. I want you to be happy." She didn't like that answer.
I think the dating apps are all trash, though, and are making everything worse. It creates the illusion that they're a means to meet people you'll like, but their incentives are only engagement and subscriptions. Actually introducing you to people you'll get along with is a secondary concern at best. Some of them have options to specify monogamy or not, but none of them are especially good at it.
