I’m having a similar problem and how he approaches me when I ask why haven’t I been introduced to your friends is because “I would hate spending time with you 24/7, it would make me sick!” Coming from anyone’s point of view with saying something like that, yes they need their space from a relationship. How he chooses his words when he answers sometimes does hurt but hey when we ask a question the answer is what it is, especially coming from a guy, right?
I work full time and my job is demanding so I work over full time sometimes. We hardly ever spend time and when we do, we honestly do nothing but enjoy each others company, which is nice. When he makes plans with his friends he does really fun stuff like go out of town for a weekend, rafting, and lounging at a bar. His mix group of friends is girls too so I sometimes worry and have raised that question. Though when I did ask about it once he remarked..“Why do you keep asking these questions, your just jealous and your trying to steal my friends because maybe you don’t have friends and no one likes you.”
He’s younger then me so sometimes his words are uncivil, so I don’t take it personal. I have invited him to go to parties but he’s very anti social with my group of friends and even family.
Its like he wants to keep his friendship world separate from me, I’ve tried to except it but being a pretty social person its hard. Well that’s just my story and experience. I’ve been with this guy for 2 years now and yes this issue bothers me but I don’t want to argue over it because he gets really upset when I do bring it up. I grown accustom to realizing it ain’t worth the fight.
Any advice from anyone? The posts on here did help a bit.
