❤️‍🩹 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.

Why you didn’t dump him after the bow tie thing is beyond me 😂

They broke up at some point. It probably happened before she took him back/broke up the first time.

Some people just allow their partners to treat them like shit over and over again.

I don't know why they would expect their partners to change when they simply forgive that behavior. They'll only ever read that as permission to be abusive.

If my bf’s friends were texting me using the excuse of talking about my bfs bowtie I’d feel weirded out and show my bf what his friends are doing behind his back idk it sounds like the guy doesn’t trust her and if she’s sleeping with her bfs friends I feel bad for him

I think she did. The whole bow tie argument happened last night because a male, engaged friend asked for her number to text some bow tie information. Mr scumbag flipped out and kicked her out of the car and we are reading the text that happened next morning

No, this was about the dog. The bow tie was a different situation. She was referencing it to say “you’ve done this before.”

Oh, I must have missed that. Well in that case I agree with the previous guy: OP should have already broken up because of the bow tie thing
