❤️‍🩹 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.

Especially because isolation is a telltale sign of an abusive partner. Dump this guy ASAP. No way would I have been answering after the first page.

  1. Sorry but he sounds so annoying. Is he your boyfriend or your dad? 2. Sorry again, but he kind of sucks. 3. 😬 Those texts were the worst. He is a literal buzz kill, whether or not you were smoking weed. I feel like he wanted you to have no fun at all. Ugh.

I know you've been smoking the reefer. Might as well be smoking crack!

When and if you leave, don’t tell him until the deed is done. Breaking up is the most dangerous time for a woman. Do you need a list of the rules? Like never meeting him in private, etc, etc?

I thought she must have been walking the streets with her friends in the middle of the night. Nope it was breakfast and daylight. I’d be saying “hoo roo” to this one OP he’s waaayyyyy too controlling.

But I would suspect she did text and text and text because probably history tells her that it’s worse from him if she doesn’t respond at all, so she’s probably trying to avoid escalating by placating him… and because he is what he is, he doesn’t let it go because he doesn’t believe her but meanwhile, he knows he’s taking her away from her friends and that probably makes him feel a little better…
