Friend or girlfriend? What am I to him?

Question - (19 February 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 19 February 2009)
A female Canada age 36-40, *ulie_Grave writes:

I've been with my boyfriend for just over a year, now.

We do everything together, I spend his days off with him. He includes me in everything he does with his friends (who are all couples), and his family (immediate and extended). He's not afraid to show me off. He tells me he loves me.

When we're in private, he makes it known that we are boyfriend and girlfriend, but if he introduces me to someone new, he calls me his friend.

I've asked him about it, and he says "why do I have to introduce you as my girlfriend? People assume that we're together, so why does it matter?"

It matters because if someone says I'm their friend, that's what people are going to think I am.

So, what am I to him?

Well that to me seems like he just wants to find someone new like are they girls or something?? That may be why he might want them to think you're just a friend to get with them, I think he loves you girl but also he just may be shy, I don't know, it depends on the situation you know but you should let him know what it feels like at least one time so he can see exaclty why you don't like it when he does that! Good luck!!!
