Search Results: still be friends

Hey guys so me and my boyfriend have been getting into a lot of arguments over it recently and neither of us are willing to compromise so I want to know opinions.

I follow other guys on Instagram, I know them from school and extra curricular and we don’t interact with each others post and only message to ask questions about performance and midterm dates, study guides and homework or missed classes or extracurricular (I’m in a group where we do singing and dancing and we catch eachother up on choreography for anyone who’s missed. Almost all of these chats are group chats with multiple women and men. None of them have my phone number or my Snapchat as that feels like a different level, and no one has yet (I have my boyfriend posted and always make it pretty clear from the get go I have a boyfriend like if I meet people in class and it’s a group and someone’s like “what’s everyone doing after? Anyone down to grab lunch?” I’ll respond with “sorry, I really miss my boyfriend so I think I’m just going to head home for today”) but if anyone did make a flirtatious or suggestive comment my immediate response would be to block them and probably say something along the lines of “not cool… you know I have a boyfriend so fuck right off”, even being in group chats together if someone crossed that line I genuinely wouldn’t care about the missed opportunities for school work and info because it’s a broken boundary and I would find someone else in class or another group who would be more respectful.

to him, he still feels like it’s disrespectful and that no guy would be okay with this. To me, I feel like it’s controlling and while if he specifically said to unadd anyone specifically I would, not being able to add any feels like too much and if we don’t come to a conclusion now what’s it going to look like in the future? If our kids go out with a friend and their dad can I not get his number to check on my kids? What about getting coworkers contacts to switch shifts?

I like to dance SO much. Others like to include me in parties with dancing bc they know I'll get people out of their seats to dance even just a little (including older people who look like they would enjoy it and younger people who tend to be a little awkward about asking for a dance). No matter what, I always end up with my long-time friends and we pull each other into a dance circle as if we're still college kids. We all have a great deal of fun by the end of the evening.

I particularly take care to make sure everyone is able to get a dance in bc frankly finances and lives change so suddenly that you never really know if this is your last chance to see someone or to dance and laugh and share a meal with them.

Others seem to just "politely have one dance" then sit around the rest of the event, sometimes even in silence.

Which type are you?
