I dislike my girlfriend having guy friends

It really bothers me that my girlfriend has friends that are guys. I mean I'm ok with it if I know them and they're my friends, but I don't really care for her being friends with guys I don't know. And now she wants to hang with one of them. Alone. I love her and trust her completely so I let her go hang with him, but it still bothers me that she's such good friends with other guys. Is this normal to be bothered by this? Or am I just being paranoid? Advice?

    I'm a girl and my bf feels the same way. I no longer have as many guy friends as I used to. That may sound bad but I later learned that most of the guy friends were only friends with me cause they liked me.

    Yeah, that bothers the hell out of me with my girlfriend, especially since she's easily influenced.

  • I think you should tell her that it's bothering you a lot, but also mention how much you love and trust her. After this tell her that you're not going to force her to stop hanging with them but you'd apprectiate it.

    Super normal. It's a double standard. If my girlfriend even SEES me with another girl she's like "slut." but she has nothing but guy friends, maybe 2 girl friends. So it's hard to tell her to stop hanging out with them. I'm more well-rounded in the friend department, so I've been hanging a lot with my guy friends.

    BUT, if I try to hang with my female friends without her she gets PISSY!!!!!!!! See if it's the same with you. If she gets a stick up her ass about you hanging out with a girl alone, that'll be the perfect time to come to an understanding about hanging out with people alone. :P If she's cool with it you're S.O.L. hahaha

    Get over it, if you trust her then you have nothing to worry about. If you're trying to prevent your significant other from having friends then you don't deserve to be in a relationship. My girlfriend tried to stop me from being friends with my old friends she didn't like but had never even met. I told her if she tried to sabotage my social life that was it for her.

    Let your girlfriend have friends or else she will begin to resent you and that mentality is what will get her love to stray. If you love something you have to let it go, and if she loves you she will come back. If you keep her in prison she will want to break out.

    No you're not paranoid and every guy would be upset about that. What she's doing is not good for your relationship.

    Nah, it's perfectly normal for it to bother you. It would bother me if I didn't know the dude too. However, just because she's your girlfriend doesn't mean she should be forbidden from having other male friends.

    You sound like a controlling, evil boyfriend. You'll probably end up bashing her almost to death one day, don't pull a Chris Brown.

    Kellstar is my type of person!! U tell him off kellstR!! It bothered me too when u said LET HER GO hang with him. If you trust her it shouldn't be a problem if it's only one dude. If it is only one gut ask to meet him

    U say 'i 'LET' her hang out with him', do u own her? It's normal to be jealous but if it goes beyond a point then it turns into possessive controlling behaviour and that is not ok! You say u trust her, that's good but don't try and control her or stop her being friends with others
