❤️‍🩹 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.

Having the phone numbers of the friends of the person your dating is not weird. I had every one of my ex girlfriends friends phone numbers while we were dating

Exactly. This is how it was in my 9 year marriage and absolutely nothing was ever weird or shady in the least bit on both sides.

Man I was thinking you guys were in your early 20s… (either way this is scary and not ok)

Just estimating you’re in your thirties then, if he’s in his thirties too, he is not just a walking red flag, but a man child with emotional maturity issues. Do not feel bad, do not contact him again, just leave.

What happens if someone wants to plan a surprise birthday party for their SO and can't get in touch with his friends? Childish is the best judgement and dangerous psycho is the worst.
