Hello...

Its been 1 year and 4 months that me and my boyfriend have been dating, we try to keep the relationship in low lights because he 1 and a half younger then me , and our society is very judgemental and we had our trust problems but we fixed them, we love each other and very happy together.

3 weeks ago i had a huge fight with my best friends and stopped talking to them. I was so lonely, i know i had my boyfriend but its different than having friends.Last week i met this new girl she's sweet and friendly and started inviting me of going out with her, we went to her friend's boat, did jetski and had fun at the beach, i told my boyfriend and instead of being happy that i'm starting to make new friends he was angry and didnt like my new friendship.

This group always invite me to go clubbing with them and go to launches and fun activities, but my boyfriend is getting jealous because im having more fun with them and he says that he is seeing himslef as the boring part in my life and im building the good memories with them.

I love him a lot but i want him to understand that im allowed to have friends and enjoy my time and they will never replace him.. how can i explain that to him because its causing us a lot of problems lately

Its just that your Boy friend really loves you he's getting jealous and he's constantly feeling that when you should be having fun with him you're having fun with your friends and he's feeling inadequate its normal just talk to him about it show him that no one can replace him and how much you truly love him if possible spend more time with him instead of spending most of the time with your friends don't let him be insecure ! Now is your job to prove to him that no matter what occurs in your life he's gonna be your main focus..

Good Luck..

why don,t you ask him to join in in some of the things you do with your friends not all the time just now and again cos everybody needs some time alone with friends but also make sure you spend time with your boyfriend as he may be feeling left out
