Relationship problem?

Options
Hi everyone! I was just wondering if any of you could help me out here.
My boyfriend and I have been dating for about a year and a half. Everything goes good but it seems like all he wants to do is fight. Last night, a friend of mine, (who is a lesbian) stayed the night. I feel like he doesn't trust me with a FRIEND for crying out loud. So what if she likes boobs? He thinks I am going to cheat on him with everyone and everything!! I have never done anything wrong to him. By the way, I am only into guys. Should I just stop being friends with her?
Thanks xoxo

Also, we have talked about this already. He said he just finds it "weird" that I have her staying the night. He is jealous for no reason. Because like I said, I am into men. I love him, and he loves me. I don't want things to be over with over a few arguments. It's not worth throwing a year and a half down the drain. How am I suppose to show him he can trust me?

    No, you shouldn't lose friends just because your boyfriend is insecure. Because if it's not her, it will be someone else... eventually you will have no friends left. While lots of friends aren't necessarily a must-have, it's still important to realize that HE has a serious problem.

    I think it's kind of sad that you're even considering giving in to his insecurity.

    You should definitely NOT stop being friends with your girl friend. It seems like your boyfriend is a bit insecure and is trying to pick a fight with you. If he doesn't trust you there are deeper issues you two need to work out. Maybe he has been hurt in the past and is manifesting that on to you.

    Communication is key. If you try to talk to him and he won't talk with you that is also a red flag. Good luck.

    If you guys are fighting then everything is not going good. Break it off and find someone that is going to treat you the way you want to be treated.

    Sounds like this isn't your problem but his... seems like he has some major baggage from some relationship in the past and is carrying that into your's and making you carry it. I'd say he has insecurities that are intruding on your relationship. I guess we take people for the good and the bad but I think you may want to talk to him about it or might turn into some kind of power and control type of relationship. Nip it in the bud before it gets worse. Good luck! :)

    I totally agree with this. Also if your fighting so much maybe it is just better to cut ties and find a new man one who will accept and trust you.

    The first thing abusive and insecure men do is make their woman separate from every person in their life that they could turn to for help and support.

    Don't lose friends for a boyfriend. Trust me, it's not worth it.

    That is a HUGE problem. It's the sign of a possible abuser or a possible cheater.
    Don't give up your friends because of his stupid insecurities. I honestly don't know how anyone can put up with that for a nanosecond.

    If you are serious, I could not disagree more.

    Try living with a 'little' jealousy--it's no picnic. I agree with everyone, you should keep being friends with her. My husband had major jealousy issues when we first started dating, but they've dissipated quite a bit (it was mostly over past relationships, though). I don't have any real advice other than that if it persists and becomes such a big problem that it's seriously affecting your happiness and ability to function as a couple and individuals, it might be time to move on. But yes, communication is key. Make sure you're telling him how awful it makes you feel when he's like this. And if you can't because you are in an unsafe relationship, seek help (I'm not being facetious).

    lesbian girlfriends of my girlfriend do scare me and yes it is because i am insecure..

    they can be burly dikes or lovely "friends"

    lesbians offer something men cant get... a womens point of views towards sex...

    we cant compete with that... i dont care how hard you try we cant.. we arent women and lesbians scare us because they have something we dont when it come to courting and pleasing a woman... nothing can change that...

    if things flow towards the girl then enjoy yourself and take lots of pics for us :)
