Search Results: going out with a best friend

My boyfriend (22) and I (18) have been together for a little over a month now, and it's going pretty well, he tells me he is ready to settle down which is a huge reassurance to me as he is not dating me just to date but to settle down. We know each other through mutual friends you can say, I met him through my older sister's fiancé. Everything for the most part has been going pretty smoothly we have a few arguments here and there that do kind of concern me for the reason being we are so fresh into our relationship I feel that we should be in our honeymoon phase and shouldn't find anything yet to somewhat argue about. On the other hand, I'm getting worried that maybe my boyfriend doesn't like me romantically. He has never once shown me a romantic gesture like buying me flowers or take me out to dinner. I am always initiating us seeing each other, he used to always ask me to hang out and now it feels like I am the only one that makes plans for us to hang out, I have brought this to his attention and every time I bring it up he sort of will shut me down and tell him that, that isn't true an that he's trying his hardest. So, with him saying that I try to brush it off, I even tried for an entire week of me not asking him to hang out, and not a single I miss you, or I wanna see you. We didn't see each other that week. When we are together it's like we are on top of the world and he acts like he really likes me, but it feels like he might not have as much interest in me as he used too. I try my best to give him his personal time with himself and his friends but to a certain extent I wish he'd make plans with me the way he does with his friends. ANY GUYS WITH ADVICE PLS ANSWER ME BACK !!!

To start off, I'm really uncomfortable talking about this but I need some real opinions or guidance please. And my family here on GAG never lets me down. Soo... My husband seems to be blind to his friends' intentions. I've tried to tell him softly to not anger him or receive backlash but he is not hearing me. His friends are literally courting me in front of him and he just doesn't see it. They have made comments about "getting into our bed", "cooking for me", and "asking me out to new places". They tell my husband how beautiful they think I am and my husband comes back and tells me as if I'm supposed to be flattered.(I'm not a piece of meat so it's not flattering)

Am I going crazy!!! Am I missing something?

Like, they hoover around me like lions stalking their prey and I hate it. They try to control me and make decisions for me even though I don't belong to them.

We're on a friends vacation this week and I made up an excuse that I was sick so I wouldn't have to be around all the alpha energy BUT they're insisting I accompany them to each event.

What Should I Do? Honest Opinions Please 🥺🌹
