Boyfriend wants to meet friend almost every day

He has a female best friend, I know it's always been platonic, he's known her a few years and she's always had a boyfriend.

Anyway she lives near me, he used to live here but doesn't anymore. He's staying with me for just under a week and he's wanted us to meet up with her almost every day.

If it was for an hour or so that'd be different but we end up spending the entire day with her and I find it too much, even though she's very friendly.

I know he loves me as I am and seems happy with me but I admit I feel a bit insecure because they are like twins, they are both very extroverted and seem to have the exact same sense of humour. They have each other in stitches constantly and loads of in-jokes, plus work in the same industry.

I'm a little quieter and more subdued I guess, even though I like to have a laugh. I also find it very draining to see the same people constantly, I don't even see my own friends that much.

I've explained this to him (about me being introverted). I really hope I don't sound controlling or anything because that is not my intention at all he can be friends/see whoever he likes.

I just think if I had gone to see him and I had us meeting one of my friends nearly all day every day it would be a bit unfair ? I think it almost makes me feel as if he doesn't want to spend time with just me alone.

AIBU ?

Well how was the day? This guy sounds like a berk, sniggering like a hyena.

YANBU. Are you there to make her jealous?

Honestly OP I'd dump him. You're not his priority it sounds like he thinks very highly of her. Don't let him treat you like a pawn in his little crush.

He will be desperate to see her tomorrow without his daily fix today, if it was me I’d end it now, don’t waste any more time on him
