I just started a new job at the airport. I clean the airplanes and since I’ve started my coworkers have been friendly and talkative with me and common courtesy, is for me to speak back. Just friendly conversation but also gossiping about other co workers. There’s this one gay guy that I work with who talks to me Everytime I work with him. Today when I came in, I came early, I was on the phone with my boyfriend, my boyfriend heard his voice and said “Is that a guy you’re talking to?” And I said yes but he doesn’t like women. It was almost time for me to clock in, I got off the phone and before I did I told him that I loved him and he told me to call him on my break. The guy then starts to gossip about our co worker but she walked into the room so he asked me to put my number into his phone so he could text me and gossip rather than verbally do it. I’m not the type to gossip but I’m not rude so I won’t just walk off while you’re talking. I informed my boyfriend about it. I told him I gave him my number and the reason why and reminded him he wasn’t straight. He texted me” Don’t give your number to anyone. You’re not at work to make friends or gossip. You’re at work to work.” I explained to him I wasn’t the one gossiping, he goes “I don’t want to hear anything else about it. That’s it that’s all. Never give out your number, wtf.” His exact words and this isn’t the first time he’s been controlling like this. It doesn’t help than when cleaning planes we’re put into groups of either 2 or 3 so sometimes I will be paired just me and another guy or Me and 2 other guys or me, a guy and a girl but I know he will hate the thought of me working with a guy in general especially when it’s just me and the guy and no one else and it isn’t like I can say “Hey, don’t pair me with a guy, my boyfriend doesn’t like it.” And it doesn’t help he starts to work with me, cleaning planes as well soon and when he sees that set up who knows how he’s gonna react.
My boyfriend is very controlling and it’s draining me, what should I do?
