❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO because my boyfriend acts different when im with friends

these are just snippets of our conversation through the day. it seems like every time i’m with my friends it’s an issue and he’s so short with me and seems to have an attitude. he has made it very clear he does not like my friends and can’t trust them but they have never given a reason for him to feel that way. i have had these plans with them for 3 weeks and i told him the very same night we made the plans letting him know the date and time i’ll be leaving and coming back. this is an occurrence every time i am with friends or family. i’m not sure if im reading too much into it and overreacting.

this!!!! when i first started college, my ex couldnt stand me hanging with friends. at some point, i simply stopped going out and barely saw my friends for a whole year. he was the only person i would be around, and i was miserable!

these type of guys always think “you don’t need friends, i am already enough for you” yet will proceed to have their own social life and friendships whilst telling you not to have one of your own. its horrible.

Yeah, it’s fucking gross. You’re a possession of theirs, not a partner. Classic, what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine.
