To feel a bit weird about this....

In new relationship but with someone ive known a long time. I know he has always had female friends, i also know he has slept with at least one, although i dont know or want to know who is who.

Anyway im away this week. He mentioned yesterday his old pal was in the area and coming over for a catch up tonight. Assumes im ok with this and assures me unprompted that no one is a threat to me, he adores me.

Im totally fine with that. I feel adored. I know he loves me.

Chatting tonight he mentioned what he'd made them for dinner. He's a great cook. It sounded a lovely meal.

Got off phone and been feeling a bit uneasy ever since. Wtf is wrong with me.... Its just dinner. He loves to cook for folk. He didn't have to tell me. But if im honest it has made me feel a bit fucking miffed. He doesn't make a nice meal if a male pal visits. And he said popping up for a catch up.... Not im making her dinner.

Aibu? Am i being a dick? Fwiw my last relationship broke me and this has been a big step. Also i absolutely trust it was innocent but it still makes me feel weird

The weird feeling is probably plain old fashioned jealousy at this point. You are in the first flush of things where spending time with him feels like the best thing ever, and you don't like the thought of someone else having his company and eating his lovely food when it could be you. If I were you I'd keep this under wraps for now. Its too early to be causing fuss about what he does when you're not together, and it will seem like a red flag to him. Just wait and see how things pan out with these friends of his. How often he sees them, how intimate the situations, whether you get introduced to them. If its an issue when you're more if an established couple and know how the land lies, thens the time to review things.

He seems like a decent person with a good social circle who cooked a nice meal for a friend. And told you about it all. You don't know the circumstances of him sleeping with a female friend but that seems to be the only reason you’re questioning his actions.
If he’s good to you, don’t overthink it and drive yourself crazy. He’s not actually done anything wrong.

i can’t be the only person who read this and can’t work out the issue? You’re sad he made a nice meal for a friend?

Similar behaviour like what? @Maitri108 there are no other concerns.... He asked me to post our holiday pics on fb and tag him for example... So i know he is happy we are together. I just feel so weird aboyt him making a nice meal for another woman 😳

If there are no other concerns then you need to get over it and move on.

This would only bother me if he displayed other similar behaviour. Otherwise I wouldn't mind if he cooked dinner for a friend.
