Single People

But of course, he just nodded and smiled and later said to me "That's guy talk. He doesn't really mean it."

Smack your bf upside the head and tell him "No, it's asshole talk".

blas - I think you bf's "friends" just want to make fun of him or try to break you guys up. You might have to be the one to stand up to these "friends".

I also have to agree with Rapscallion. I see the relationships of others as romantic comedies. I agree that relationships can be good and if both people are happy then who am I to complain.

I would hope that that's not the truth. If so, they picked the wrong girl to screw with.

I never gave them a reason to hate me, but I'm sure they'd do it to anyone he dated because they are single and he isn't.

I had an ex whose friends were like that when we were together. They just hated that him spending time with me cut down on the time they had to hang out with him. When none of his friends liked me, I suppose that should have been a red flag right there. But I was in love and didn't care at the time.

Looking back though, I'm not at all surprised that relationship ended.

I've had girlfriends who have absolutely hated some of my bfs for how they treated me or how my bfs treated them....but I've never had a girlfriend be jealous of a bf or dislike them for no good reason and to try to stir the pot by saying stupid things without thinking.

It's not like I take up all of his free time. For Pete's Sake, I work full time and I only get to see him 2 days a week, 3 if I'm lucky. He isn't "stuck" with me.

Blas, first, as a slight off topic, you and your BF are an adorable couple, you two do look genuinely happy together, don't let bullshit like this crap from his friends ruin it.
Second, back on topic, I'm agreeing that it's most likely jealousy. I admit, I find myself jealous of my friends in stable committed relationships. I think it sucks waking up every day being alone. Not to get on a soapbox, but this is the state where I've so far landed one date with someone... and it turned out he was addicted to twitter and wouldn't shut up about his updates from Perez and Ashton the whole time, which really turned me off on the dating scene here.
Despite that though, the jealousy and the slight bitterness that, through some fault of my own I'll admit, I can't find anything like what my friends have, I would never even consider harrassing one of my friends about it (granted, I've joked that they should have an affair with me but both of us knew it was in jest)

Second.

If one of my BF's friends ever did this, there'd be some hell to pay. Although, I think in my case, my BF would be the one smacking his buddy upside the head...he doesn't take crap from anybody, and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't let his friends make me cry. Of course, all I need to do is point at someone bothering me and he takes care of the problem...(only had to do that once, and that was before we were dating *giggle* that's a story!)

*ahem*
It sounds like his friend is very jealous. If it were me, it would make me very uncomfortable if the BF didn't do anything about it...talking about bringing drunk sluts on a camping trip where you won't be around is very shitty. Trying to convince the guy that he would be better off single, in front of you, is ridiculously shitty.

I hope things get better. But I am very happy that you and your BF are happy. And that even if he doesn't smack his friend around (as I think he should!) at least he doesn't listen to him!

Gah. Guys like that "friend" irritate me.
