I've been dating my boyfriend for about 6 months now and I never had an issue with his bff or his roommate that he's very close with.

The past few weeks his roommate has been acting a bit weird and wouldn't look at me in the eye when I talk to him. My bf always invites me to come over which I mostly do just over the weekends, I don't even see him during weekdays because we both get busy and he does get a bit moody so I just give him all the space he needs.(he's a cancer 😛 )

His roommate always gets in a fight w his gf and I sometimes notice my bf tends to act differently when we hang out w him like let say his jokes and they way they talk about women...the roommate also talks badly about his gf who I think is very sweet and way too nice for him.

Any advice how I will nicely approach him with this issue??

Are they really close friends? If yes.. then don't tell him about it.

If they aren't that close.. Just ask if his friend is usually as edgy as he is. He might ask what you mean.. you can say he seems a bit stressed.

If he's not close to your bf.. you should probably not bring it up and just ask you bf to hang somewhere else..

If he's close to your bf... try to get on his good side. Your bf will like you for it.. and he will be nice to you.
They are close friends like brothers... but I think I shouldn't ignore he fact that my bf would act differently when we hangout w that guy... thanks for you opinion though I appreciate it!

he could see how good his boy has it and is looking at you w/ envy maybe who knows bf's friends are always weird and you should always keep a certain distance
One thing I do remember is that he told me that his gf doesn't allow him to follow or like other girls pictures on Instagram...

I let my bf do whatever the eff he wants or look at half naked women on social media cause I honestly do not care.

He also had made comments like "girls should do what their man tells them to do." Or worst was "girls should be like dogs if I tell them to sit and be quiet they should do so."

I responded with "you don't need a woman, I think you need a maid you can pay and wouldn't care about what you say." 😛

He doesn't change the way he treats me, although when the friend makes a joke about women my bf would play along with it... I do notice that my bf would look at me like "it's just a joke pls don't kill me." Lol

If he knew him before you . .. a lot longer before you.. you wanna respect who your bf chooses as his friends. He must have his reasons.

With guys it's like this: if you get along with his friends and his friends like you... he will not let go of you.

Just saying his friends opinion of you will matter.

Yeah I understand that, that's why I do want to see how I can nicely bring this up to him without making him feel like I hate his friend because I don't. I just kind of what him to let me know why his friend is acting a bit different.

I wouldn't want my bf feeling like I'm telling him to stay away from his friend who's he's known for years.

It sounds like your BF might talk shit about you with his roommates in order to feel like 'one of the guys '*



*just my jaded, bitter, 30 something year old take on the situation as you've described it.

That's one thing I'm exactly worried about. I told my bf he better not be making up stories about me just to make his young roommate feel better.

I'm the same age as his roommate and my bf is in his 30s.

What is your desired outcome?


I just want to know if he has a problem with me...?

Cause I'm not sure if he feels like I'm taking a bro away from him, or am I invading their space at home which I believe could be the least of the issue since I'm barely over.

when he wants to hangout w my bf I let them hangout together... even if my bf would invite me to come I wouldn't go but of course unless my bf really wants me to come for some reason.

Oh honey you need to learn when to pick your fights.

If he lets you in on their conversation that means you're one of the guys, maybe the friend doesn't make eye contact because he still doesn't trust you....

Are you best friends with his girlfriend? No, you're there for your boyfriend and your boyfriend has a good friend, you need to get on board and become friends quickly instead of getting fearful and distancing yourself from them
