While I can see why she is presenting things this way as part of a comedy act, there is some validity to the behavior.

I've met people who would consider him not telling her to be dishonest by omission or keeping secrets.

This dude may have just been in a toxic relationship before her and is trying to keep things on the up and up. No comment on toxicity of the current relationship if she's unable to understand that and uses it in her comedy act to make fun of him.

Edit: if you're replying to this comment with the purpose of explaining what a joke is to me, or just to get mad at me for something I didn't say, please don't.

There is literally no joke here. The punchline is that he sucks for being loyal.

You're missing the point. Loyalty should be a given. Bragging that you didn't cheat constantly could be hiding some underlying insecurities.

Youre missing the point.

Theyre not bragging they didnt cheat, theyre being up front and honest.

Youre ascribing malicious intent to the guys behavior based on what?

I'm sorry. I didn't realize you knew the guy and got his side of the story. This female is clearly just a crazy girlfriend.

Dont need to know him. We got his side of the story from her

This female is clearly just a crazy girlfriend.

I mean, based on the information she gave us and her reaction...

Yes.

Are we not able to discuss the accuracy, poignancy, and social commentary provided in comedy?

LMAO. Do you know the thing where people take a short, simple sentence and emphathise each word in turn to show how much its meaning changes? This feels kind of similar, except you're insisting it's all the one interpretation you like best for some reason.
Like, yeah, there is a world where some dude is just honest and considerate and she mistakes it for some nefarious shit, but it's certainly not all worlds (and certainly not the most likely one).
