ok this is really stupid and weird, but anyway... every so often my boyfriend will call me up and ask me "would you ever go out with john?" or "do you think tom is hot?". and usually, "john" or "tom" is sitting right next to him. or sometimes, john or tom will call me up and ask if i'd ever go out with them. and i know my bf is right there and told them to ask me that.
so i have two questions:
1) how do i answer that question? if i say "no, i'd never go out with you", that sounds kinda mean. but if i say "yes" or "maybe", then my bf will get mad and think i like them.
2) why in the world is my bf doing this?? i mean what is his motivation?
Randomfication answered Monday August 20 2007, 10:41 pm: His motivation for doing this is probably trust issues. Someone in every relationship has them and its not unnatural. Your best bet would to maybe talk to him about this. Ask him why he puts you in those positions. Or better yet say, I like your friends, but just AS friends. They dont mean as much to me as you do. Boys will be boys as the saying goes. [ Randomfication's advice column | Ask Randomfication A Question ]
