I am about to plan a day at the lake soon with my friends, but worried about bringing my boyfriend. He tends to get in a bad mood when I am around other people, and feels left out. I pretty much have to monitor him the whole time or stay with him and he gets jealous of me around other people unless I'm always talking to him. He tends to be in the corner and be very rude/not talk, and some friends have commented before. I'm a very social person and have some guy friends from college there too, so I'm worried he'll get jealous/upset. He tends to get very jealous over my guy friends too, so I'm also worried about this. I'm very extroverted and love to talk, so I'm worried he may feel left out at the lake or upset/angry. I want him to have a good time and include him but just worried.
I want to include him bc he's my boyfriend, but the second thing is that he also gets extremely upset/moody if I do things without him or exclude him. I'd have to go about this in a careful way. I'm worried on what to say if I just want to go alone this time.
I haven't seen my friends in a while, so want to hang with them and give them quality time and have a good time, but definitely worried if things go sour.
What should I do? Do I mix the groups or keep separate? l'm worried have to basically babysit him the whole time and he'll be in a bad mood/won't want to interact with my friends. But I want to include him out of him being my boyfriend/politeness. The event is next weekend. I don't want to be sneaky about going about this, but want to be gentle but straightforward. Thanks!
