My boyfriend is going to school in RI. He's thirty five. I live in FL.. and am 25. We have been together over a year... he moved to RI in August, so we have had a ldr... but I fly up there at least once a month to see him (yeah, he doesn't come down here, but that's a whole 'nother story).
So, he tells me a couple of days ago that he's going to Foxwoods with his classmates tonight. I'm like, "ok, that sounds fun." Last night, he tells me that it is three women. Three single women. And they invited him to go see Celtic Woman. I know my boyfriend. And I know he is no Celtic Woman fan... but again, beside the point.
It just seems weird. Three women, inviting my boyfriend to a chick concert. And they are all in their thirties and single. That's what I have a hard time with. And he never asked me how I felt about it... it was just "this is what I'm doing..." I know if the situation were reversed, and I was going out with three single men, while my boyfriend was 1300 miles away, he would be uncomfortable with it. But when I said that, he said he would absolutely be okay with it, because he "trusts" me. And when I expressed that I was bummed out over this (NOT mad, or irritated.. bummed), he got ALL defensive. He made me feel like I am totally out of line for being upset. I told him that I bet most women would be uncomfortable with this situation... and he said that there is no way the average woman wouldn't be okay with this.
So, am I over-reacting?? This really bothers me. Ladies... gentlemen...? How would you feel if your SO was 1300 miles away, and going out with three single people of the opposite sex.
Oh.. and to make matters worse.. they are going to this swanky restaurant, where he is buying, and the bill will probably be a minimum of $250 bucks... yet, he is SO cheap with me. I mean, really cheap (he has a 6 figure income, btw).
so, thoughts?
