To be sick of BF being a gentleman

I'm so tired of my boyfriend seemingly trying to prove he's a gentleman when it's inappropriate.
Some examples:

We went on holiday with friends and one friend hurt her leg, he was carrying her round on his back most the holiday whilst I walked on my own.
I was on a night out separate to his night out and a person in his friendship group he briefly dated was drunk and he carried her back to her friends house.

I don't think it's appropriate, my friends all think my annoyance is uncalled for but why can't he take my feelings into account he's always looking after these girls when he shouldn't be getting involved. Maybe one time but not situations like this all the time.

Have you actually told him these things are bothering you?

Would you prefer he stand and laugh when your friend falls, then push her down some stairs for good measure 😄?

it's strange that having damaged an leg/ankle so badly they need carried to the next Bar .. instead of arranging to either go home or go to a&e... Booze is clearly more important....

Good luck being carried anywhere by my DH.

This carrying people about wouldn’t invoke jealousy, it would drive me round the last bend as I cannot bear drama llamas.

I'd be irritated by the amount of women needing to be carried. They sound annoyingly weak and helpless.

I feel exactly the same, hate it when women act helpless around men so they are seen as the strong ones, the saviours.
