I think her "rule" is unrealistic. You'll be looking at other women in public all the time. Some will be showing cleavage.

If you're on a diet, you'll be looking at ice cream and cookies in stores, in movies, and from people around you.

Glancing at something isn't the same as touching it.

intentionally looking at half naked women isn't the same as seeing a woman in public with cleavage. who you also shouldn't be staring at, whether you're single or not.

Touching something isn’t the same as eating something

It is not an unrealistic boundary. It is definitely doable to not thirst online, nothing more difficult than just scrolling past.

OP is a jerk for crossing it.

That said, it is not a boundary I would keep. Not because it isn't doable, any decent person can do it without coming up with shitty loopholes or diet analogies; I don't keep this boundary with my partner because it would make us both less happy.

My partner and I both just comment on it when we see hot people, but we can only do things like that because we respect the other's boundaries in the first place.
