There's never been anything in any of many universes of Tonys to suggest that he's anything other than faithful. Long explanation short: Tony Stark is a painfully lonely person with self-value issues. Sex lets him feel less alone and briefly like someone thinks he's worthwhile. One night stand? Sure, he's a serial one night stander. Sex of the casually open relationship type? He sucks atit; it's not what he wants.
I whole heartedly agree. I could see, later on in a relationship, if it's not going well, and he's feeling down/unworthy/unloved that he might stray, but I think he has self esteem issues, not commitment issues.
I'm more familiar with comics!Tony, and there is more material there, but yeah. Commitment is what he wants, serial flings is what he settles for. Tony's the type to love forever, but believing it's going to fail because he's sure he'll do something to fuck it up. He's downright arrogant about what he is capable of doing, but his sense of worth as a person is ... "look for a solution to a problem, find the one most likely to destroy him and then *stop looking*"
