Friend has met a man. Very very recently.
She has young children (Twins) and had planned to use a personal trainer to get fit. New man recommended his cousin (Female). Friend would prefer to use the PT recommended by her friends. (Male).
New mans cousin uses her home and local parks (?) Recommended PT uses a gym.
New man has thrown his toys out the pram because she said she will be gong with the recommended PT, Very professional man, all positive recommendations and feedback from others who have used him.
New man has been in a mood with her over it and has said;
Why are you using recommended PT when you could use my cousin, bet its because its a man, no doubt youll be showing him cleavage
Try not to jump into bed with him just because he's got tattoos
if he's not good enough there is no point in their relationship because she will probably find someone at the gym
IMO its controlling behaviour and ive told her quite plainly to run and not look back. Others are saying she should reassure him, dont give up on him yet, he might just be insecure?! (thats the bit im angry about). AIBU To be angry and feel that this sort of advice just encourages controlling and eventually full on abusive relationships?
