Just wondering; does it bug you when your boyfriend/husband actually LIKES your friends? As in doesn't just tolerate them but is actually eager for them to come over or eager to go out with them? One of my best friends doesn't like us all going out with her and her boyfriend because she thinks he might just start to come onto us or something. Stupid, i know, but what do you think?
It's not a problem for me that my boyfriend likes my friends, though he's never been so eager that he suggests we do things with them. But, if I tell him, "hey, I think (insert friend(s)) is going to tag along with us" he's always agreeable to it, and lucky for me, they like him too. I think it's far better than the alternative, where your significant other and your friends actively dislike one another.
As far as your friend goes, I guess her feelings could be rooted in either a) insecurity or b) an all-too-well understanding of her boyfriend, and what a serial flirt he is, which might make everyone including her uncomfortable. By your reaction, I'm guessing it's the former.
I have always liked it when my significant other liked my friends and always I hope I like his/her friends too. But I have never really had a situation where he/she would suggest my friends tag along on our dates. If that did happen, it would be OK the first time but after a while, I would feel uncomfortable and would soon realize that this relationship was going nowhere.
As for your friend. it seems like she is just very insecure. And also is she worried about him flirting or really hitting on you and your friends? He may just be a harmless flirt. But if she really believes he will be hitting on other women, then why does she stay with him?
My theory is... if you're seriously concerned that your man is going to attempt to hook up with your friends, then it's time to dump the chump.
A girl shouldn't feel like she's in competition with her friends when it come to her own boyfriend and if she has that kind of mistrust in her relationship she should start wondering more about what he does on guy's nights when she's not around, rather than group outings with her own BFFs.
Soulds like trust and jealousy issues there!
They may not be compatible together...
