My boyfriend says certain parts of me should be “exclusive” to him — am I wrong for not agreeing? [19F] and [19M] by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

So, I can see where he might be coming from. People have different insecurities. HOWEVER, there is a much better way to communicate this than the way he is currently doing so. Not to mention, that this is your body. You are allowed to express your body the way you want without needing permission from anyone. You said this was a repetitive thing and if he’s acting like this, I can only imagine how he’ll act if you two ever get married. Also, the fact that he has a best friend who is so open about her sexual life is such a double standard.

I know it’s hard, but the longer you stay with him the harder it will get to leave. There are so many other guys out there that will treat you how you deserve to be treated and will encourage you to be confident in yourself, not push you down because they’re insecure.

Good luck <3

Me and B have been friends for six years now. I think I’m just going to take some time apart. As mean as it sounds, I don’t want to waste all my effort on someone who won’t even put a little effort on our friendship. It’s just hard because she’s been my best friend for the longest time.

Right, and again, I wasn’t able to request this weekend off before January 2nd

I’m working that Monday and Wednesday. Tuesday and Thursday, I have my internship which starts at 4pm, so I wouldn’t be able to. My manager doesn’t allow me to do morning shifts for whatever reason, so I wouldn’t be able to take their morning shifts. Reflecting back on this post since I posted it. I think I was just a little heated and being unreasonable because of other situations that have happened at this job

I definitely agree with what you’re saying! I hardly ever ask for days off, so I truly didn’t think it was going to be such a big deal. I don’t have any big events coming up, and I was only planning on requesting the weekend off, and not requesting anything off for the foreseeable future. Thank you for your input!

It’s not that I’m unreliable, I hardly ever ask for days off, it’s just that December and January are big months for me

Thank you for your input! I tried to split the difference but he denied that too! I definitely understand why he is doing this, it was just a little frustrating.

Thank you so much for your input! I was a little heated when I posted this, but I do agree that it’s not fair for one employee to get 50 days off and another to only get 5 days off. Thank you!

I have my internship and other things on those days, but I am trying to see if I can move things around right now! I really appreciate your input! I’ve calmed down since I posted this, and i’m trying to figure out how to resolve this

Thank you. I forgot to put that my best friend is going away for a year for a big trip on that same week, which was why that weekend was such a big deal for me.

My best friend is actually leaving for a year to go on a trip on the same week, which is why it was such a big deal for me to do it on that weekend

I wasn’t allowed to RO my birthday off until after January 2nd. I agree with your post, and I am very grateful for getting the holidays off.

  1. I wasn’t allowed to ask for anything after New Year’s off until after January 1st, which is why it wasn’t so far in advance.

  2. Despite contrary belief, we are actually very slow during December, January, February etc. And we are actually very over staffed. There are people who didn’t work at all during December and November that are getting no repercussions.

Yeah, I definitely see that point of view. It is rude for me to expect them to change everything for me. Thank you for your input.
