Boyfriend wants to take my friend out on a date

So, trying to keep this one short. My friend from out of town is coming to stay with me for a few days. My boyfriend has met her and gone out with us the last time she was in town. My boyfriend has taken a couple of days off work to go out with us.

I've mentioned I was going to do a gym&swim on one of the days she's here (I can spend up to 4 hours gymming & swimming) and my boyfriend said he'll ask my friend whether she wants to go on a long walk and for a lunch at the local pub with him. I said that would make me feel uncomfortable, he said he doesn't see any reason why this would make me feel uncomfortable.

Aibu to insist this would make anyone feel uncomfortable?

Because it’s 22 pages long love. Not all of us have time to go through every comment and reply. You just read what the poster says and then reply. I think you need to chill instead of jumping on peoples replies as soon as they post them and giving them shit for it straight away. What are you doing? Sitting there reading all the replies hoping for a chance to have a go at someone?

I’m quite excited with you being so busy and important that you took the time to read my reply.

We can all stop posting now. This poster has it all figured out after reading the OP and has deigned to share her wisdom with us. 🤣

But surely 22 pages means the point you are trying to make has probably been made to death already? What’s the value of adding your opinion then?

also there are three, I think, posts by the OP, all get opened by one click, surely that wouldn’t take long to read?
The question applies to everyone on the thread who rushed to reply on a long thread after only reading the first post 🤷‍♀️ why, people, why?!

Did you not read my post? I said no it’s 22 pages long so did t go through it. I read the first one and have my opinion, no need to delve in to it any further..

So filter and read ALL the OPs posts as you'll get a quick idea of what people have said. This stops people saying the same old thing over and over and ending up with stupidly long threads that say nothing new.

If hes your man and cares about you, and shes your friend and cares about you you're good.

Ie if theres nothing to worry about because you have good people then you'll be fine.

If either of them arent trustworthy its better to find out sooner no?
You dont want to spend your life guarding your man?

He shohld guard your relationship. If he doesnt do that its not up to you to fight off other women.
Move on and find someone who brings you peace.

Ie trust them. If they break your trust move on. If they don't youve got solid people. :)

His offer sounds creepy as fuck
and you just sound plain rude.
Straight men don’t offer to keep women company unless there’s something they are sniffing about at. I presuming she’s 20s 30s. You should cancel your plans and go out with her yourself. Tell mr man his offer is not required. There are none so blind as those who will not see.
