And no I don't spend time talking to mates whilst i'm with my bf's, I will reply to mates if my bf is doing the same thing on his phone.
I do value my relationship with my bf, but i also value my friends too. I just find it weird that I have no problems if he hangs with female friends, infact one of his ex is in his circle group of friends yet I dont have a problem with it.
I just don't see why I should have to choose between them? :S
You don't have to choose but you'll likely end up without the romantic male in your life as you put preference in keeping the so called "plantonic one" as your priority.
You've changed your original story in this post from what you've posted prviously. In this post you trivialize your involvment.
Bottomline: Your BOYFRIEND does not appreciate the amount of attention you're giving your male plastonic friends. If you care enough about your relationship with him then you will propose some kind of compromise with him that will not be threatening where you can keep your 'pals' and not make it seem like you're making them your priority.
So what can you suggest to your boyfriend other then "I shouldn't have to give up my friends" that will make everyone happy?
