I think my partner might be to feisty for that one, we have already broken up over this issue. She is very emotional over the whole thing and I have no idea how to calm her. The only way I see is to give in to her demands, but, where does that stop? What happens when she falls out with my mum? sister? best mate? best mates wife etc??? If Girl A was an ex...I dread to think how my partner would have reacted!! Her reaction to girl A being just a friend I talk to and see occasionally and that we did things together as friends before I got with my partner was stressful enough.
Does your partner have any friends, that if places were swapped, you may be quite jealous of, but as you are you, you think nothing of it?
That may sound a bit muddled, but basically is this a one way street where your partner is trying to control you?
Having broken up and being very emotional does seem like your partner is using emotional blackmail.0 -
Girl B sounds like bad news. She's unlikely to become less controlling if you let her have her way on an issue as important as who you are friends with.
Either insists she faces her issues, for they are definitely her issues and not yours, or run away.Proud member of the wokerati, though I don't eat tofu.Home is where my books are.Solar PV 5.2kWp system, SE facing, >1% shading, installed March 2019.Mortgage free July 20230 -
Nobody should be giving ultimatums like this.
You referring to your partner as 'Girl B' says a lot about how you feel about the two. I suspect you already know what to do.0 -
Your partner sounds jealous and quite controlling, has anything happened to her previously to make her think that way, has she been cheated on before?
It's your decision ultimately, if Girl B can't come round to your friendship then you have to decide who means most to you.0 -
I've just left a reltionship where my now ex was controlling & jealous. It doesnt & will never work, get out now.
I have some friends who are women some of who I text on perhaps a weekly basis & interact with at the rugby club during the season & apparently saying 'Hi' isnt allowed.Dwy galon, un dyhead,
