This is true. I didn't think gay men could so mirror incel philosophy by being so utterly misogynistic. My eyes are opened. 👆
Which is more humiliating: realizing you thoroughly embarrassed yourself for several pages, or doubling-down in a desperate attempt to save face and pretend you had the last word?

Either, or.
It is not an either/or situation. Unless there are competing claims, multiple things can simultaneously be true.
He can be a dishonest and disloyal person who had multiple relationships simultaneously, and they can also be grown adults who made bad choices for their own reasons.
People do not magically become blameless victims every time something does not work out in their favor.
Relationships between adults are mutually-defined. If a party does not like the terms, she has the right to request changes, or to end the relationship, because it no longer meets her needs.
If she chooses not to do that, then she has accepted the unfavorable terms as a trade-off for whatever perceived benefit she receives for continuing the relationship as-is.
In any of those cases, she is an equal participant. She is a capable adult who did a cost/benefit analysis, and made the choice she thought was best. And if her choice turned out to not be the best, then she exercised bad judgment, and will learn to make better choices in the future.
But what she is not is a child who needs to be protected by society, because her inferior nature makes her easily manipulated, which is your view. But tell us more about how your paternalistic view of women does not make you the incel misogynist you claim everyone else to be.
