I had a very regrettable night the other night with my female companion who I have known for over 2 years. We were just doing the usual thing, having a drink at the table we were at the club we regularly go to.

All of a sudden this guy decides to make himself comfortable and sits down and proceeds to get friendly with my female companion, asking her out and asking her for her phone number. I was so furious at all of this & even more furious to see my companion actually give him her number & agree to go out sometime.

Of course one thing lead to another,there were heated exchanges & by the end of it, my companion thinks I was so out of line & being over-the top jealous. Of course I was jealous, but what would one expect? I do not know what to do about this.

I have written her a lengthly e-mail but I have yet to send it, coz maybe it will make things worse.

Admittedly,we are not in a relationship, but we are very close. I like her more than what she likes me. However, I still can't believe the disrespect that was shown towards me,by this other guy & also herself. She should do things like that,when we are not in each others company I believe.

What do you think? I am very sad at the moment & I am not really sure what to do. Do I apologise & say it is all my fault? Or do I stand my ground and let her know that I think no respect was shown my way?

You say "partner" , so I will assume she is not a girlfriend. The other guy's behavior was Tacky and classless but her positive response is her business if you cannot claim a relationship outside of friends...but maybe you should look at your reaction. Is there something there you were not aware of?? Give it some thought. As for as an apology goes, if you feel the need to clarify anything,do so but do not make an insincere apology.

Have you considered that you may have been set up by your girlfriend to get you to move to a greater committment to yer. You say you have been dating for 2 years. Most women want some kind of committment for marriage by then. Where are you at? If you were not being set up, then her conduct was rude at the very least, and totally inappropriate. You stay with the one you came with, and you go home with him, too. If you no longer think he is your special guy, end the relationship, and then go back to the joint and look for the other guy. You don't give your name and phone number to another guy in front of your date! If you are not ready to commit, then tell her so, and walk away from her. Be nice. Breaking up is really hard to do, for both parties.

I think maybe you are in love with her and the best thing to do is tell her or the hurt will continue good luck. annmac
