Okay, my boyfriends name is Michael, and we've been dating now for almost 2 months. I haven't even hugged him yet! We've cuddled & held hands, but I've never actually gone up and gave him a hug. And I've never done anything with him after that. Today I hugged one of my really good guy friends, and Michael found out about it, and now he's all pissed @ me because I've done more with my best guy friend, then I have with him, supposebly. I don't want him to hate me, but he just signed off of AIM & I'm seriously SAD! He said we can't be together if I don't quit flirting with my best friend. ): Please help!

However, I don't think that you should have to stop hugging your friend. You need to hug your boyfriend though, and maybe just for a little while don't hug your friend, just explain to your friend that michael didn't like the whole thing and that you need to let him cool down. After you and michael are hugging and holding hands, and cuddling, and whatever else, it wont bother him so much that you're so close to your friend. If he's not ok with it after that, then he's likely to be overcontrolling and maybe even obsessive, which is a whole new bad deal. [ Jarhead11789's advice column | Ask Jarhead11789 A Question ]
LadyGoodman answered Monday December 12 2005, 8:29 pm: Hey, it takes two. Why hasn't he hugged you yet? I think he's just pissed that he hasn't stopped being a cowardly whiny little boy like your friend has. It's a fucking hug!! Who cares?! It's not like you blew the guy! If you really care about staying in this with him I suggest not hugging your friend anymore, but I personally think it's BS if you can't hug your friend, as long as you know that your intentions were good...he just sounds too controlling.
