For not wanting to bring friends to our small weekend trip?

I get it can be fun sometimes to do something with friends but when it comes to trips i prefer them alone with my partner because i don’t know, it feels less plannings to do. And odds of only being one of to join so it may end up with thirdwheeling. So it be awkward when i rather just be a couple trip. I love my friends but most time i prefer meet them by myself than including them to much into my relationship. I feel even if my bf says he is introvert he is more extrovert than me. I mean he tries to ask lol but looks a bit dissapointed when i tell him nah. He gets along with them so i guess he likes their company aswell group of 3 guys and my female friend.

do you guys prefer same?

Weren't you posting before and were told by many commenters that he's just not that into you. He wants your friends to go on couples weekends with you guys, he doesn't want time as a couple with you, but wants you to invite your friends all the time?

No it's not normal for a man in a relationship to always want you to bring your friends.

No it's not normal to never do couple things.

He's just not that into you. If he doesn't like your company, if he doesn't want to spend time with you, if he wants your friends there - it's likely he has a crush on one (or more) of them as well. Guys don't actively seek out other women (aside from their SO) to spend time with if its not got an ulterior motive.

Motives being (his POV) -
you're not entertaining enough for him
Someone else is and he wants them close

Just ditch him and move on with your life.
