Is it weird that my boyfriend and his best guy friend want to be “clones” of each other?
They want the same cars, the same style, the same personality, the same opinion, and the same haircut to name a few.
It really pisses me off that my boyfriend wants to change so much about him just so he and his friend could be so much alike. I asked him about it once and he replied, “Because I’ll be funny! We’re pretty much the same person anyway.” Well it won’t be funny for his girlfriend! I replied that he was wrong and that they’re both different people and that he should stay the way he is but he started to get angry with the subject so we dropped it.
I want my boyfriend to stay the way he is but instead he’s gradually turning into his friend’s clone and vice versa. Anything that his friend does is automatically the “coolest” thing to do and he wants to do the same thing! For example, one time I showed my boyfriend a UFC fight thinking he would be interested in it but instead he said he couldn’t care any less. Then a few days later, he comes showing me the same UFC fight babbling about how he watched it with his friend and how awesome it was. He hated wearing hats but now he wants to start getting hats particularly a certain style that reminds me of the hats his friend wears. Any story, any joke, or past memory that he tells while we’re hanging out is about his friend.
Don’t get me wrong, his friend isn’t a freak or anything and I don’t particularly dislike him in any way but this problem involving my boyfriend. I think its cool that he has such a close friend but sometimes I think its going too far.
My boyfriend wasn’t always like this. Only recently and gradually did he and his friend decide to do everything the same way. My boyfriend is planning on getting his hair cut next week to look like his friends. I’m hoping its only a phase or because its summer and they have nothing better to do. I just really hope it gets through his thick skull to stop trying to be a fake because its not funny or amusing in any way to his girlfriend who loves him the way he is now.
Bottom line, whats his problem? Or whats their problem? Or is there any real problem at all? Do I even have the right to be angry?
