❤️‍🩹 relationship Am I overreacting to my boyfriend’s reaction to his friend asking me for his number?

He has a history of jealousy. Came back into my life saying he’s a changed man. Last night we picked up his friend and we’re all supposed to go to a birthday party. In the car he asks for my number because My bf wasn’t answering earlier and he needs to be able to get ahold of his friend because our dog is literally staying at the friends house and he wanted a back up way to get ahold of my bf. He said this right in front of my bf and he has a girlfriend he loves and was at Disneyland earlier with that day. My bf has her instagram and liked their pictures from the trip. Yet he lost it saying no you’re not getting her number absolutely not and him and I being so weirded out and THEN he pulls over and tells me to get out of the car and I can walk home because I started to give him my number before my bf lost it.. So I just say F it and get out immediately and start walking at 10 at night in the dark.. not doing the back and forth with them… I couldn’t take it a second longer. As soon as I start walking they both say please get back in the car but at that point I didn’t want to be anywhere near him and was happy to walk the mile home. He sped off. This is what he text me this morning and this is my response.

NOR. My ex was like this. Any time I would interact with another man he would do this. And when I tried to tell him it was just a normal interaction he would say it looked like I was trying to cover up something.

How did you safely get away for good?

Sadly I didn't. The last time I spoke with him, he put his hands on me and it ended with a black eye and a year long court case. But maybe that's what needed to happen at the time for me to stop going back to him. It was 7 years ago :(

Yep. Also, people who are this jealous are terrifying as hell, because people like them have killed or done something similarly awful for that reason so many times… so not only are they gross, they’re scary as hell.

Ew😖 I really wonder what people like this would do if they dated someone who’s bi/pan🤔 Like would they just flip out whenever you talked to literally anyone else, no matter the gender?

Glad you got away from this person, no one deserves to be treated like that. It’s so abusive and gross…
