boyfriend help: I’m jealous about the time my boyfriend spends with his friends. - Help.com

I’m jealous about the time my boyfriend spends with his friends.

I see him a lot, but when it comes to the weekends he only wants to see me if his friends do not have any plans, which means that I get to hear at 9 in the evening if he’s willing to go out with me or not. I get jealous about almost everytime he is with his friends , but I do not tell him so he doesn’t know I’m very needy and clingy inside… Its just that sometimes I feel like I’m filling in the gaps and I’m the guy in the relationship.
We bought a present for one of his friends, I payed and he would pay me back, but he hasn’t yet and i’m afraid of asking for it. It’s not that the money is that important to me, it’s the fact that he doesn’t remember paying me back..
I get jealous and annoyed really easily but I don’t want to think of losing him. What to do? Help me Please?! :(

sounds like you have a chronic lack of self esteem and respect.
try working on that. should resolve most of the other issues, because youll get the confidence to talk to him about your feelings, rather than just try pleasing him, and youll realise your own worth and how you should actually be treated in a relationship. and if he doesnt measure up you wont have a problem moving on.

no, i dont think in the instance where youre waiting around for him till the last minute to find out whats going on that youre being jealous.
there is a fine line, he does have the right to hang with his friends, but he also needs to treat you with respect. i think the next time he makes you wait like that, bring it up then.
do you hang out with him and his friends much?

No. I dont really hang out with him and his friends. The last thing I would want him to do is not seeing his friends, but it is so annoying to always be second place on the weekends, it makes me feel like I’m filling in gaps and I dont like that. I just dont know how to formulate what I want to say. It’s like, I’m seeing him tomorrow but I dont know what to say or how to start. Cause he thinks our relationship is brilliant (which sometimes it is) but he thinks that because I dont speak my mind. Thank you
