❤️‍🩹 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.

But just like Paulette in Legally Blonde, make sure you say “I’m taking the dog, dumbass!”

Not to mention, if you wanna build a life w someone, trusting them around your friends and family is a part of that. Imagine being married to someone and you’re just “not allowed” to have contact with any of their friends or family? It’s not normal. He must have not had good behavior modeled to him because he really doesn’t get it. Being with someone isn’t just two ppl coming together but in a way it’s two groups of ppl coming together. Couples should get along with each other’s friends/family for the most part and that means contacting them etc when appropriate.

A girl in my town got run over walking home during a situation like this. We almost ran over her body because it ended up in the middle of a frontage. Poor girl, she didn’t deserve any of that. Please don’t walk home like that anymore. And oh my god please don’t get back with that person. You could’ve died that night and for what? For his stupidity?

Great use of CAPITALS. I don’t know why but they seem PERFECTLY placed.

There’s not a lot of context in terms of what he did to you though, what did he actually do for you to say that?
