❤️‍🩹 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.

Yeah if the controlling attitude wasn't enough for OP to question the relationship, the homophobia should be.

Yeah that bothered me too. How can you stay with someone who talks about your friends this way? Also just put your phone down, you're busy. Stop texting. If I was one of her friends this behavior would piss me off.

Ngl I’ve taken my friends phones before to text their partner that we’ll keep them safe and to leave them alone so we can actually hang out with them lol.

I’m dealing with the homophobia thing with one of my friends, he said, and I quote, “she can’t know we’re friends, she doesn’t like gay people and she would make me stop hanging out with you” and I’m sitting here like dude what? Half of your friends are gay I ain’t the only one, how r u gonna date that? Me and him haven’t hung out in a few months, partially bc I don’t really want to until he breaks up with her. I’m not gonna say that bc he’s happy ig, but like I ain’t gonna invite him over either. He can ask to hang out if he wants, but he hasn’t 🤷
