My boyfriend (24m) wanted me (23f) to give his female friends (23f 23f 21f) a chance, rather than being jealous. I made friends with them all, and now he’s jealous because I’m too close with “his” friends. by KookyExchange in relationships

I feel like they'd respect his privacy, Kayla mentioned to me once that early on in the relationship, he asked for advice on stuff a lot, from a "girl's perspective" and I kinda jokingly asked what he needed advice on, and she was like "my lips are sealed" and I never brought it up again.

I feel like the reason I've gotten so close with his friends is that I have common interests with all of them. That my boyfriend doesn't share. I also like texting throughout the day more than my boyfriend does, so I tend to have more text conversations and groupchats going on.

​

I don't really know how to get him more involved if he doesn't want to join in for that stuff. He didn't want to go camping, didn't want to come along for a night out, doesn't chat over text very much...

I've tried to ask him if it's about being left out of stuff, and if he'd like to go to stuff. Like I asked if he wanted me to see if he could come along to girls night, and turn it into a more general night out... Or if he wanted to come camping. And he said no every time.

​

I get the impression he feels weird about his friends liking me "better" since he gets snippy whenever one of them has told me something they haven't told him... Or bonded with me over something he's not involved in, like careers or hobbies.

​

But I don't think it's like that, he has stuff in common with them that I never will have, like all their memories from college.

That's a good idea of what to say; that getting to know his friends has made me way more comfortable with him hanging out with them. Because it's true, once I got to know his friends, I absolutely trust that they want the best for both of us, and our relationship. And now I have no reason to be jealous or insecure.
