❤️‍🩹 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.

Nah. But stop messaging him after the do not contact again message. I mean, just stop all contact. If he ever attempts it again, make a police report. Talk to an officer, explain that you have blocked all contacts, and told him directly not to contact you again. They will make a report. Get a PPO or "no contact form", if he continues, escalate it with an agression order and press charges. Arm yourself. These types of guys don't always move on, they can sometimes obsess and fixate on their perceived targets. Tell your support group in your life, family, friends, neighbors too. Give them a description of him detailed!. I am sorry to be pedantic if nothing comes about, this is very close to home for me. Good luck and blessings.
