My boyfriend spends evenings with me but never during the weekends, he’s always with his mates.
I’d like him to spend a weekend with me too sometimes cause the saturdays mean most to me, as ppl go out then. never told him though. It really makes me sad. I honestly have got no reason to tell him to spend more time with me as he already does a lot during the week, but that’s mainly cause he has time and I’m just saying yes cause I love him so much. I’d rather see him less during the week and more on the important days for me… Am I a jealous *****? And is he going to hate me cause of this? should I say anything about it cause it’s eating me really, i get so frustrated… and how should I bring it?
thank you x

Where were you?

You’re not jealous.
Surely you’re working on weekdays? Which is why you’d rather have him come round on saturday instead of weekdays?
If so then I can see your point and you just need to talk to him.
:) thank you for your reply. Well it’s more like this… around the village I live the saturday evening is the evening to go out and stuff. During the week he has days off University and I’m in school whole days. I make my evenings free whenever I can, but I feel like saturday is an important day and he’d rather spends it with friends and it makes me feel like I’m only filling in the gaps he has free during the week. Cause friday night mostly is for his friends as well and sunday is for his band practice… I do not want to be a girlfriend like that. On top of that he’s also making plans with his friends during the week and surprises me an hour before by saying ‘tonight i’m gonna drink beers with my mates’ . It makes me feel so unimportant and jealous. It’d be so much better to know a little time before . but it seems so easy for him having fun without even concerning what i’m doing. . I hate being so jealous, but I feel like he doesn’t think he has to change anything in his activities now he has a girlfriend.
Try to join in with his mates and him is a good idea.
You don’t need to drink if you don’t want to but at least it gets you involved with him much much more.
:) I would love to join him and his friends , but he never asks me to , that is the problem. And I dont have any problems with drinking or them getting drunk, i would just love to be involved a bit more. Tonight he’s at a party and he doesn’t even ask me to come along even though I think he is allowed to bring me :)
I just dont know how to tell him how I’m feeling
thanks again for your reply :)
He might not have any courage, say if he gets drunk and you’re there, the next day he could be so embarrased, which is why he might not want you to come.
But tell him you’re fine with whatever they do as long as they don’t go incredibly off the wall. Which you are.
You need to be honest and direct with your boyfriend first. Tell him that it would work better for you to see him on Saturdays, but you still want him to be able to have a night out with his buddies. This is important - no guy wants to feel like you are crowding him or trying to monopolize his free time. Suggest that every other Saturday you two could spend some quality time together (maybe have a nice dinner), and then afterwards you could go out with him and his friends, maybe even bring a few of your girls. This would be a very reasonable request.
If he get defensive, or if he says he will make this change but you are still left out of his Saturdays… I would begin to become suspicious. A huge red flag of a cheater or at the very least someone who is not emotionally committed to the relationship is a boyfriend that purposely excludes you from his friends/social life. A cheating boyfriend typically makes time for you when it’s convenient for him, but then uses his weekends to go meet new girls. If you have a gut feeling, start to worry.
It was weird for me to seach on the internet bout this kind of problem. Girl I am going through the same thing and no matter I tried to convince myself to just let it go because i love him i just can’t have the piece of mind. we have had so many arguments becuase of my boyfriends drinking habit. For him, drinking in the best thing he can ever have. There are even times when i have to tell him, if you have got to choose between me and alcohol i think you will choose the bottle and not me. YOu see how worse that is, I wanted to spend time for him, more and more. We have different shifts, different day offs. And whenI mean different working hours, he finish work around 3 in the morning will be home at 4 and if i have the energy will wake up for an hour just to see and talk to him and then go to bed. It is very rare for him to do a morning shift which gives us time to spend more. I mean the entire evening and go to bed. I even know by heart the routine even he does not tell me. If we are on same track, have dinner spend 2 hour together, after that he needs to go and meet up with his friends and go for drink. Reason is after sometime he will not feel sleepy and I do so he would have to leave the house and drink, rather than sitting at home watching m sleep or watch tv until he does… I hated it so much…. I feel like i never had any privacy with him at all. But for him it’s just me not accepting his drinknig habit and making drama and runing at night eveytime he wants to go for a drink…. Worse is that he told me he will never change.We already broke up before as he felt he does not have his own life anymore. If i was very possessive before, now he decided to continue and fix our relationship I knowing had mistakes in the past tried my best to just leave him alone with his drinknig habit. the only thing is that i am not happy bout it. yes we spend time together however not the way I wanted to. it is making me so confused. everytime have to tell myself that if he wants to go i only have one answer which is yes. and like you he never asked me to come and be with his friends. As he said i hated him drinking meanning it is much better for me not to see him while doing so, to avoid problems and drama like i used to do. sometimes no matter how hard i cry and let hm understand what I feel it is still me who has to give up and he is not willing too. maybe i am afraid to loose him, however somehow i e said ham really getting annoyed to know it will be always be like this. he said as long as he gets the chance to drink he will, then i thought if you get it everyday he will be drinknig, spent time with me at some point and leave me again and come back home when it is time to drink…he even told me that no matter what he does, i am never gonna be happy as i wanted him 24/7. well all i want is for him to spend the entire day with me without leaving me and expect to wait till teh happy hour is done. it is more complex than what i have written. i would appreciate some comments.
hey! thanks for your reply. I totally feel that way and indeed it is so much more complex than you can possibly write down. As for me that is because everyday I am facing new problems , new tiny little things that make me really annoyed. It’s just that I dont feel respected in anyway, and everyday new things are added to the list of annoying and hurtful things that happen or words that are said. I mostly dont say what I’m feeling and I’ll just be home, crying as hard as I can , cause I’m afraid of losing him. But this way he feels that the relationship is quite ok and I feel like we’re fighting all the time. The problem is that he doesn’t know about these fights cause they are all in my head, I’m fighting our problems in my head and this is not that fair to him or me either. If you want to email or something, I’ll make sure you can see my email on my account (: good luck!
