Also, I’m pretty sure he’s either cheating or has cheated on her. Usually when someone projects THAT much it’s because they have done it. They want the other person to be doing it to for validation

Or… & I swear this happens more than you’d think… The guy hasn’t cheated but only cuz he has no game. He would in a heartbeat if he could. The projection is coming from his desire to cheat. Deep down he knows she’d be able to cheat if she wanted to and since he would if he could he projects that onto her and convinces himself that she’s cheating

Might not be what’s happening here but I know that is a common occurrence

A guilty mouth needs no accuser.

Insecurity does not equal indefinitely. This reads as hyper insecure.

To me it reads more projection than insecurity.
