I have a lot of guy friends. I always have. I get along better with men then I do women. I work with all men; I do a lot of “man” centered activities. My boyfriend is an amazing man that I love very much and would do absolutely anything for. Lately he has been very jealous. When I was down at Purdue he never let on that he was jealous even if he was.
So the other day, a friend of mine, who is a male, came up from Purdue. He lives in Roanoke so it is not like he came up just to see me; he was also seeing his family. We got together for lunch. An innocent lunch, I paid for my own he paid for his own. It should not be a big deal right?!
Wrong! When I got back from lunch, we ended up getting in a huge fight…over nothing. Well to me it was nothing, to me it was innocent. To my boyfriend, it was a big deal. He said that he trusted me but that he thought my friend liked me. That he did not trust him. I asked him if it would have been any different if it was a girl that I had went to lunch with, and he said that it would have been different. It should not have mattered since they (male or female) are still my friends. And even though I do have more guy friends then girl friends, my guy friends respect my boyfriend enough not to try anything.
I wish he would understand that! After our fight we discussed things and everything is a lot better now! I told him that he needed to realize that I was in love with him and not anyone else and that no matter what anyone else did I was not planning on leaving a long relationship (I think we are going on six years or something like that) for something that probably would only be a fling and on top of that, I do not see my friends that way. They are after all…just my friends!
