My partner decided to make friends with a bloke in his class and since this has occurred he has been very distant to me and weird acting. I have a good reason to believe the truth is not being told to this guy because my partner DOES NOT want me to meet him at all. He is HIS friend and not mine. We have talked that everything is equal in our relationship and he has met each and every one of my friends so why can't I meet hime? "Cuz he is MY friend not yours!" I find that there are no more I Love You's that feel sincere, sexual relations are gone since the new friend has arrived and generally I'm treated like the cook, the clothes washer and the errand person. Should I stay or should I GO?

Thank you all for the advice. My heart is hurting really bad right now and it only took 20 minutes for him to post SINGLE on facebook. I know where I stood, don't i?

Hi,
Sorry to say, but his behavior makes me believe that something is going on between them. Also, when someone is defensive is a clear sign of dishonesty. He's my friend not yours? What's that all about? He has no right to be angry at you. Trust your gut feeling and take some time away from him.
Good luck/best wishes

If I were in your shoes I would be thinking he has met a new woman and is trying to keep it secret. I can understand not meeting all his friends, my parner and I have been together 5 years but I don't know all of his friends and he hasn't met all of mine we each know of them but never done formal introductions.
But your boyfriends behaviour is very strange. If you aren't able to find out any more information by talking to him then I would perhaps tell him that you are fed up of the change in attitude towards you and are thinking of leaving. If this doesn't hit home with him then you are better off leaving. The way you describe his behaviour just seems suspicious as it is out of the ordinary for your relationship. Best of luck, hope everything works out for the best x
