Basically my son started school recently and he normally waits outside for his friend who live on a road near ours and we all walk back together. My boyfriend drove past and seen (he knew we walked) but he heard me say something like well hopefully I will see you tomorrow when I left.
he argues that I shouldn’t be close with a man I just met and theres no need. This man is a single dad who’s wife passes and had no ‘mum’ friebds. I feel so torn because if my boyfriend was walking with another mum I might get jelous but it’s so obviously platonic

He's wrong, but so would you be if you didn't like him doing the same. Sounds like you don't trust each other.

Yeah, you should totally operate a sex-segregated school run.

Honestly, isn't it absolutely exhausting going through life scanning crowds in terms of automatic warnings for people who have the right organs for your partner to potentially have sex with?

Your boyfriend doesn't get to decide who you spend your time with at the platonic level. If he can't deal with that, that's a sign to bin the boyfriend.

Your boyfriend is wrong and probably controlling.

Oh for goodness sake.
It's called parenting. Your boyfriend/partner/husband is an insecure child
