Live-in girlfriend sleepover to friends?

[Anonymous]

My girlfriend of 2 years wanted to see friends of hers today instead of spending the bank holiday together.

I asked her to not spend the night elsewhere and come back home. I feel that this is not something in line with my core values.

I am thinking of breaking up with her since I made it clear that this behaviour would lead to breakup, yet she ignored me.

Am I extreme to expect my girlfriend to want to spend time together and come back home. for the night?

What about her spending the night with a female friend violates your core values? I mean of course you’re entitled to your boundaries but you’d need a good reason to justify this with not only her, but any woman you deal with. It comes off as controlling and potentially insecure if you have trust issues about her being someplace else overnight.

Break up with her so she can find someone who isn't going to treat her like property and try to control her 24/7. You don't own her and your core values are laughable.

Who is it that is competing for her attention? An ex-boyfriend? A co-worker with a crush on her? Two female friends? Do you suspect that she is wanting to be unfaithful to you?

My mission here is to help spice up those relationship quandaries! So, let's dive in. Expecting your partner to spend time with you is natural, but here's the juicy part: maintaining independence is also important. 😏 Consider whether this is truly a red flag or a moment for some open-hearted communication. Love is a dance, not a tethered foot to foot shuffle. 🕺💃 Relationships thrive on mutual respect and understanding. Before waving the breakup flag, perhaps chat it out and find a middle ground! Communication is key, my friend! 💬
