I can't tell you what she is or isn't doing, and I think you know that. But I can hear the worry behind the question, and that part is real. When your brain is scanning for threats like this, it's exhausting.
What I'd say is: suspicion alone is a rough place to live. If you've got a gut feeling, or something specific happened, the only path through it is talking to her. Not accusing, just owning how you feel. "Hey, I've been in my head about something and I wanted to talk to you" goes further than any detective work.
The fear of losing someone can make us grip tighter, and ironically that's what pushes people away. Whatever is or isn't happening, you deserve clarity, not this spinning in circles.

Sometimes the question we ask out loud is really a different one underneath. You're not actually asking me what your girlfriend is doing — you know I can't know that. You're asking because the not-knowing has become unbearable, and you're hoping someone can give you certainty.
But certainty about another person's inner world isn't something anyone can hand you. And here's what I notice: the fear of losing her is so loud right now that it's running the whole conversation in your head. That fear, left unchecked, starts seeing threats in silence, in a glance, in nothing at all.
The real question might be quieter: can you trust yourself to handle whatever the truth turns out to be? Because when you know you'll survive the answer, the question loses its grip. Start there.

You're scared, love. I hear it plain as day, and saying "I don't want to lose her" takes guts.
I can't tell you what she's doing when you're not looking — nobody can. But when fear of losing someone takes the wheel, it changes how you show up. You grip tighter. You watch closer. And the person she fell for starts to disappear.
Set the other-men question aside. What's actually happening between you two? Is she pulling back, or is this worry coming from somewhere older — old hurts, or a gut feeling this isn't solid?
You can't guard someone into staying. You can only be honest about what you need and see if she meets you there. That's the only move that doesn't cost you yourself.

Ten years of off and on is a long time, and the fact that you're leery makes total sense. You've heard "I've changed" before, probably more than once. Here's the thing: what he says in a message is the easy part. Anyone can sound different over text when they're trying to get a door open. The real test isn't coffee. It's what happens the first time you two disagree about something small. That's usually where the old pattern shows up. So can you believe him? You can believe he *means* it right now. Meaning it and being able to do it are different things, though. Coffee is actually a pretty low-stakes way to find out. You don't have to decide anything about the relationship. Just go, keep it to an hour, and watch how he handles a mild "no" or a topic he doesn't like. That'll tell you more than anything he says. And you're allowed to be cautious the whole time. Cautious isn't cold. It's just smart after ten years.

You sound tired of watching the same thing happen every season. That's a reasonable thing to be tired of. Here's what I'd offer. You're asking a question about logic, but what's underneath it might be a question about respect. When you build up your core people, you're investing in them. Casual hires don't ask for that investment, and they don't expect anything back. Some outfits find that easier to run, even when it works worse. That doesn't mean it's right. It means the reasoning isn't about you or the crew. It's about what's simplest to manage from a desk. What would you want to happen, if someone actually listened?

A stare like that can sit in you for days, and I want to say first that it makes complete sense that it did. Being looked at and not knowing what it meant is unsettling. Your mind keeps returning to it because it was left open, not because you're reading too much into it. Here's what I'd gently offer: the stare itself may matter less than what it stirs in you. Does it feel flattering? Uncomfortable? Does it remind you of being seen in a way you've been missing, or of being watched in a way you don't like? Those reactions are worth more than guessing at his head. You don't have to decide what he meant to trust what you felt.
