Aibu for not letting her hang out with my bf when I'm not there?

My boss took in a refugee last year and I sort of took her under my wing because she's a similar age to me. She had no one else so we've become quite close and she does a lot with me and my bf. Since I got pregnant (I'm 8 weeks) I've found her more and more annoying because she likes to drinks and I can't do that anymore, plus she can be quite a lot to deal with. Not to mention that she is always very over complimentary to my bf.

We all go to a sports class together once a week, but it was brought up recently that now that I'm pregnant it won't be long until I don't go anymore. She asked me if it would be ok for her and my bf to go together, to which I said I wasn't totally comfortable with that.

So now I'm made out to be the bad guy because if he doesn't take her there she can't go because she doesn't have a car. And because he is going anyway it seems reasonable that he should be able to take her too.

But I only feel uncomfortable because of her flirty nature and history of being super complimentary to him ALL THE TIME. And I can't stand the thought of her being alone in the car with him even for the short trips to the gym. I trust him but not her.

AIBU?

If you trust him, you don't actually need to trust her. What's she going to do, overpower him and chain him to her bed?

What do you mean by 'super complimentary' and 'over complimentary'? Can you give examples?

I'd just slow fade her out, especially if your boyfriend isn't comfortable with her.

@harriethoyle it really is horrific.
