ok this is stupid but whatever. my boyfriend is completely loyal and i trust him completely. but he like calls this girl wifey and theyre acquaintances not best friends or even close or anything. should i feel weird? or am i over-exaggerating? its not like he likes her but is that flirty of him hes all like "you can be my wifey" and im like wut.. k thanks !
What's going on may just be two old friends goofing around, but it may also be that he's making this seem like joking around when, in fact, he'd like to be true.
(Kind of like if you were mad at someone, call them a jerk, and then smile and say that you were just kidding, when you really weren't. I'm not sure of the psychology behind that, but I'll bet that we've all done it at least once.)
I'm big on communication: tell him how you feel about this. He may have no idea that you're bothered by it, (which you are or you wouldn't have posted here.) Talk with him about this and help him to understand that it makes you uncomfortable. If he cares about you, he'll stop doing it.

It's hard when you really like someone to think about them betraying your trust, but it is a strange situation. It's something you definitely should not be expected to tolerate if it makes you feel weird.

Your boyfriend has some explaining to do. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

But if you want to find out for sure, it won't hurt to talk to him about it.
