My boyfriend wants to see a movie he doesn’t like because I’m going with a male friend?

[StormMistress]

I want to see the Barbie movie with a friend of mine because my boyfriend isn’t into it but now he wants to see it with me. Is it purely because he wants to see it with me or because I’m going with a guy friend?

I’m hoping the former because I don’t want to deal with a boyfriend that gets upset when I hang out with guy friends.

[Honest-Matt]

If your guy friend was just a friend, this would not even be a consideration. Your initial thought should be, "wonderful, more people to hang out with". But your first conclusion is to do with relationship dysfunction. If this friend was not a threat, then your boyfriend would not be perceiving them as one, and he may not be.

Treat it as it should be, your boyfriend is watching a movie with you and a friend.

[AviatorTom]

I'm guessing he wants to make sure that he stays you're #1 guy.

[provokeesmokee]

I'm hoping he realized that there's more to the movie than his original judgement.

But who cares? He'll go with you. And you'll have two people to talk about the movie with: your friend and your boyfriend.

[A_Bell]

If some girl wanted to see a movie with him that you didn't like, would you think that was OK?

Ask yourself that honestly.

[StormMistress]

I wouldn’t like her but I’d still trust him 100% so it’s fine to me. If I don’t trust him why am I in a relationship anyway?

[A_Bell]

I would trust my husband as well, but my husband wouldn't go to a movie with another woman out of respect for me.

[AydenHazor]

From what you've shared about your boyfriend here so far, he sounds like he's probably the type to be jealous and not wanting you to hang out with guy friends alone, to the point where he'll do to a movie he doesn't like so you won't be alone with a guy friend.

[Fireguy17]

Ya, that seem normal.
He might feel threatened so now he has to be there to make sure nothing happens, not saying anything would.
Kind of like marking his territory.
See this, it's mine, hands off.

[exitseven]

He has seen it gross over a billion dollars worldwide and wants to see what the big deal is. Or else he does not trust this other guy,

[ZamerZ]

Just confront him about it. Communication is key in a relationship and jealousy usually derails a train.

[Lliam]

Yep. It sounds like he is insecure and wants to keep an eye on you. It's sad that he doesn't trust you.

[Pacquet]

It’s probably fine but the movies with another dude seems “date-y”. Your boyfriend is probably going cause he might feel weirdly obligated to or maybe he doesn’t feel like he can vocalize how it makes him feel without judgement

[Drewtate]

Seems he is right not to trust you if you are going on a date with another guy and can't see why that's a problem.

[artgorgeous]

it's because of your friend. Your guy does not want to loose you, that's why. He wants you to be within his sight, and acts protectively.

[JesseP1nk]

Insecure probably. WOMEN dont act like you would not feel insecure if your man goes out with a hot "friend" that has big boobs and nice ass. Dont be hypocrite

[StormMistress]

If I can’t trust him to be faithful then why am I bothering with this relationship at all?

[JesseP1nk]

So you would not feel insecure if you boyfriend goes out with hot "friend"?

[inhua]

oh this guy friend of yours is going to talk a lot of shit about your boyfriend

[Anonymous]

Maybe since so many guys have actually gone and seen the movie maybe he is interested in seeing it himself

[Friendlybro79]

I'm hoping you talk to him and figure out if he is the right person for you. Especially considering the past couple of your posts.

[BigDog1989]

Why do you need guy friends, if you have a boyfriend?

[StormMistress]

I had them before I had a boyfriend. I’ve got a mix of both sexes in my friend pool.

[BigDog1989]

Why do you need boy "friends", if you have a boyfriend

[Juxtapose]

Because having friends is normal and what do you want bisexual people to do for instance? Not make friends with anyone?

[Juxtapose]

That's so possessive and weird.

[BigDog1989]

@Juxtapose My dad doesn't hang out with girls, he's MARRIED

[bowenw]

I suspect it’s because he doesn’t want you hanging out with other guys.

[DextroShade]

You shouldn't be going to the movies with other men in the first place, it is completely unacceptable!

[Juxtapose]

I'm going to be dead ass with you, I don't know where you found this guy but he sounds like he has a bunch of problems. Why are you with him?

[Sparkie460]

He really doesn't want to see the movie. He wants to go because you're going with another guy. He is jealous and insecure.

[Pete671]

So, your guy friend is gay?, and your boyfriend is jealous? lol x

[StormMistress]

No he’s straight or at least bi.

[Pete671]

Maybe, perhaps, the gentleman is maybe just a little bit versatile? the movie it seems (not seen it myself) is just a bit of fun, I don't really understand male role completely, great to know you!!!

[jeremy_09]

I took a girl to dinner one time and her boyfriend showed up and sat down so I left and they got stuck with the bill. It was very satisfying.

[Guanfei]

The more I see you talking about your boyfriend, the more I wonder why you're with him.

[StormMistress]

Because I do love him and want things to work.

[Guanfei]

But you can't force things to work, especially when you have something new bothering you almost every day

[StormMistress]

Yeah I know. The more I get to know him the more these issues keep popping up. He’s got so much good about him though and I love that part of him but the negatives are piling up a bit and I just want him to be happy.

[Guanfei]

Well, you also have the right to be happy, don't sacrifice yourself. Don't accept everything to make it work if that's too heavy on you.
I also want you to be happy.
