View Full Version : Strong distaste for his bestfriend?

I have been dating a guy for about a year and a half, but just recently started having a decently strong distaste for one of his best friends. I only get to see my boyfriend alone on sundays and he is almost always there, my boyfriend constantly invites his brother and him to go places with us, and he sees him more often than me as it seems.
Honestly, it's very irritating. I want to go on dates where it's just my boyfriend and I, not the annoying girly man who tries to act manly (Before anyone says anything, I know for a fact that they aren't gay at all... >.>).
Is there a way that this can be fixed (not trying to tell him not to hang out with him, that would be bitchy) or is it a lost cause?

You never get any alone time with him? That would piss me off. Tell him you want to hang out with just him sometimes. He should definitely understand that. Every couple needs time to themselves, without anyone else getting in the way. It shouldn't be a problem for him.

We occasionally get a Sunday here and there, and when I tried bringing it up he said I can't monopolize his Sundays. It sucks a little.

Wow. I'd have a serious problem with that. You need to talk to him about it because, I don't know how you feel, but if my boyfriend told me that I'd definitely feel like he didn't care much about me. I mean, he can't even give up have of the only day you can be alone? That's bullshit, and you deserve to have some time with just him. Has this sort of thing always been a problem? Or is it just this new friend taking all his time?

I agree with Melissa. That is a serious problem alright. If he doesn't want to spend his weekend with you even if that's the only day you can see each other, I'd either:

A) Make it very clear that I don't like this situation or

B) Dump him

you need to talk to him and get more time for just the two of you but he could just be intimidated by you and that is why your time with him is cut short

Just tell him maybe a Sunday alone time with him would be better, or bring youre friends if u like

^^^^ this.

Why not bring your friends (and or brother!) to your date as well? I know this isn't always the best solution to problems, but I'm evil like that so why not make him taste a bit of your agony? :P x

That really seems weird. I would talk to him, if it's so important for him to have this guys with him constantly tell him you'd dump him. Could also be that he is unsure about being alone with you and has them around for that reason.
As I said talk to him about it and that you want to be alone with him.

tell him to get a grip and that you too need some alone time away from this guy

I understand why some guys might get all defensive about it when their girlfriend tells them to back off a tad bit from their friends, but how you phrase the question could mean all the difference. Let him know that only the both of you are in a relationship,and not his friends. Tell him what you've told us,that you want to spend more time with him alone,because a double date every single time is just taking the point out of the relationship. If he refuses to change,unfortunately it's a lost cause,and you'd either have to stick up with it or break it off if you cant handle it. Good luck :)

You ever tried to invite good friends of yours to dates with him.
He may dislike their company as much as you dislike the company of his friends. Maybe he'll get it this way :)
Good luck!
