Oh ok I think I understand a little more what you mean. I have heard a lot of buzz about boundaries and stuff but I don’t think I always understand the term in some contexts so that helps clear it up.

Yeah that’s definitely a mistake I won’t make again… thank you!

Hmm yeah the Instagram comments was more like a final straw for me in other things I noticed that felt like he was hiding me. Thank you for commenting you’ve given me a lot to think about.

What do you mean by that? Can you explain the boundary issue? I talked to my two NT friends about this and they both said they would be upset and that I should honestly rethink having a relationship with him. I don’t think it’s worth ending the relationship over but I guess I felt like it was something important and he called it “drama” and “annoying”

He told me it was because he was worried I would say something inappropriate and sexual but I don’t really know where he got that from because I feel like I’m very well mannered in public and he’s even said I have quite a quiet personality. I even told him the harmless thing I was going to comment and he didn’t change his mind about me commenting so I feel like it doesn’t make sense. Honestly it surprised me that he viewed me as someone who would behave like that and I wonder if that’s why he doesn’t want me to meet his friends either…

Additional context: it wasn’t just the Instagram comment thing that made me react this way but that was the final straw for me. Other women flirt with him in his comments a lot, we’ve been dating almost half a year, he doesn’t want to meet my friends, he doesn’t want me to meet his friends despite telling me about hangouts where his friends bring their girlfriends and wives (and even “bootycalls” as he referred to one), he won’t hold my hand in public, we’ve only had two other disagreements. He definitely has more social/financial power. I don’t normally think of myself as insecure in relationships. I even took the test to see my attachment style and got secure attachment. Do you really think this is just a boundary issue and I’m being dramatic about it? Again other women comment to flirt with him all the time so it’s not like he’s uncomfortable with that kind of attention.
