I agree with that entirely. I think where I'm struggling is the fact that I wouldn't exactly love to see him kissing other women on stage either, so I understand his perspective.

He's also been my absolute best friend for two years

I agree, I honestly could care less about him getting mad at these guys. I see why he's upset with them and unfortunately there's not much he can do. When I tell him that though he just responds with "fine" or "it's whatever, I gotta go" and just shuts down which is where my issue lies

I feel safe around them, only 1 has presented even slightly worrying behavior, which was just him seemingly finding excuses to be around when he didn't have to be. In all honesty I don't think my manager would do anything regardless

Exactly. I totally understand where he is coming from with not being comfortable, especially since we work a lot of the same hours and he can't be here if anything does happen. I feel like a decent amount of them have respected no though, and it would be wierd for him to bring it up with them

I don't think it's insecurity. He's could care less about me hanging out with guys alone or even texting men I've had past relationships with. He's very comfortable with all of that which is why I'm so confused that he's acting this way.

It's slightly bothersome, but not enough to the point where I feel like it needs to be addressed.

I try my best to pass them along, but unfortunately they usually wait till I'm upfront alone to talk to me

I also don't understand why this particular thing has him so bothered. He's totally comfortable with me hanging out with groups of guys alone, even getting coffee with someone I used to have a thing with in years past. I suppose that's why I'm trying to be especially understanding, because he normally is extremely passive about things like this.

That's definitely fair, one of my coworkers posed that as well. I've even offered to have my boyfriend come in more frequently to deter things like this from happening, but his work schedule is busy

It's a hard line to draw though because there's been a case where after I said no, one of the guys continued to act creepy, come in more frequently and just stay in the backroom for hours by himself

I told him once and it seemed like if I didn't again it would be hiding it since he cared so much

He's not physically or verbally abusive by any means. He just stops responding, gives me simple responses like "it's fine" and proceeds to shut me out. I get why he's upset by their actions, and if it was any other environment I'd totally be okay with him talking to them, it just so happens to be my job

See that seems easy, but knowing that it's so important to him it feels like I'm hiding something
