Dear Love Guru,
Some of my closest friends are girls.
My girlfriend was okay with it earlier, but she is getting too possessive now.
She does not want me to hang out with my female friends but she is okay with my hanging out with my male friends.
I don’t have a romantic interest in these girls and nor do they have a romantic interest in me.
And I am not someone who will cheat.
How do I convince her?
Is this a good sign for the future?
Aditya
No, Aditya, it’s definitely not a good sign for the future. An overly possessive partner is a problem.
If she was okay with it earlier, she should be okay with it now.
You’re allowed to have friends of the opposite sex! And you shouldn’t have to convince her that you aren’t going to cheat on her; that means there is an inherent mistrust about you in her head already.
You can sit her down and speak to her about this problem.
If she’s willing to be reasonable about this, good for you. But from the sound of things, my hopes aren’t too high regarding this situation.
Just to be fair to her, however, I am going to put this out there -- I am assuming that you spend a reasonable amount of time with your girlfriend.
There are people who’d much rather be in the company of friends constantly and that is bound to upset their partners. So ensure that you’re spending enough quality time with her as well.
And if you are, and meeting your friends even a couple of times a month is still an issue, well, buddy, I’d say run for the hills.
