To think my friend doesn’t have to bring her boyfriend

Friend has been seeing this lad for around 7 months now and she insists on bringing him to everything it’s getting boring now. We met for lunch last week and she brought him when I thought it was just us to if she pops round he’s their basically the past 8 weeks she drags the man every where and don’t get me wrong he’s a nice lad but I think even he’s bored of having to make small talk to her friends. I had a snoop on his socials and he dose have his own mates and before the last few weeks seemed to have a good social life out to watch football with his own friends etc but the last few pictures she’s always out along with them. She popped round tonight and my partner was chatting to him and they went out to the garden to have a beer while we chatted snd every five minutes she was going out to say hi or check up on him. My partner said after they left that he invited her boyfriend out next week for a few beers to watch a local match and the poor lad said he’d love to but could he try arrange for me snd my friend to have plans that same day that didn’t include being with them. Iv said il ask her to come out for lunch or to get our nails done. My partner said it seems like as much as the man likes my friend she’s to clingy and thinks I should try talk to her about it considering they plan to move in together after Christmas.
Should I have a chat and tell her she’s a bit over bearing or keep my nose out of it.

I think if we reversed the sexes and if this was a man behaving this way to a woman he would be abusive eith coercive and controlling behaviour. We also wouldn't be telling a woman to groe some backbone. Your friend doesn't sound like a friend id like to have. Could you ditch her and you snd your partner make friends with him.

Hopefully they don't move in, that's a doomed relationship.

Actually, it could be he is not allowing her to be out on her own? And maybe he wants her to be out with op poor lad said he’d love to but could he try arrange for me snd my friend to have plans that same day that didn’t include being with them. because he knows where she is.....

Erm no, the boyfriend asked for op and her friend to go out together separately on the same day so she doesn't ask to tag along and watch football. Everything a man does must be controlling, even when his GF drags him to a girls lunch🙄

@ILikeYourHair

I do think that is a bit much. But I have to laugh at the irony, half of your post is my partner, my partner, my partner did/said..... SmileGrin
She only said 'my partner' twice. Not nice.
