I [26F] have the same rule with my bf [28M]. Works for us!
We do have some exceptions though, and we communicate beforehand to give each other a heads up. Example: I had lunch with my friend who wanted to interview me for work. It doesn't make sense to invite other friends when it's work-related and somewhat personal… So he understood the circumstances and had no issue with me having 1on1 time with him.
Don't care about what others say, if it works for you keep at it! Personally, I don't ever feel the need to hang out with male friends 1on1 anyway
Take this as an opportunity to teach yourself a lesson, verbally abusing a partner is a serious dick move. If this woman is done with you then it's time to move on.
When we meet a partner and they inspire us to do things differently in our life it is a good thing. It's one of the plus sides of a relationship, the other person makes you act better. I've been in a relationship where my partner inspired me to be a better person, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, I felt great. Sounds like you were the one getting the upgrade there, sucks you blew your chance.
Take this opportunity to reevaluate how you deal with stress. Take a class, watch a video series teaching coping mechanisms, see a therapist.
You laid out my case perfectly. My high school gf and I did NOT break up on good terms. It took like 10 years to be in the same room together again without any weirdness. We rarely talk or hang out but I think it’s great that we’re on good terms. She was my first love and I think it’s a good thing that I still care about her. I thought that would be seen as a sign of maturity, but I guess most of Reddit thinks different.

That’s crazy you defended her and the house hold and she’s now scared of you ?

People get offended by everything. They want advice but cry when they get it.
