My 1.5 year LTR recently started a new job in marketing and has made
friends with a 6’7 guy who used to row for Great Britain (high SMV
to compete with lol).

The dynamic in our relationship is generally positive – all
affection instigated by her, she’s submissive, happy to follow my
lead etc. Essentially no red flags.

I lift, work on myself, have a good job, get attention from other
women (and my LTR knows it), but this guy’s SMV is clearly higher
than mine.

She’s mentioned him to me a few times, each time commenting on his
height and size. To show the ‘difference in height’ compared to
her, she showed me a pic of them standing together at a work party.

I recognised this as a shit test, so just nodded at the picture and
moved the conversation on (any comments on a better reaction here
would be appreciated).

How do I deal with the fact that she hangs out with and could be
attracted to her male co-workers, especially this guy she’s
befriended?

Obviously confronting and revealing my jealousy / insecurity is a big
no, but the internal conflict is real. So how can I make peace?
