I went out with my newish partner at the weekend and met his friends for the first time. It is a large group of couples, brothers, sisters, school friends. They have all been a group for many many years.
They all made an effort to talk to me, the men and the women and I felt included.
At one point I had been talking to DP and two of his male friends. DP broke off to talk to someone else and so did the other male friend leaving me talking to Friend X. during the conversation friend X got upset so I awkwardly patted his back and offered him a tissue. I changed the subject and all was fine. DP came back and joined us and it all moved on.
The next day the friend requested to follow me on Insta, a few of OHs other friends follow me so I just casually mentioned it to OH and he said oh that's fine X is a good guy.
This morning I have woken up to a message from the friend. Nothing untoward but I feel a bit uncomfortable about it.
I don't want to cause trouble in a long standing friendship group but nor do I want to look like I have something to hide so I am going to mention it to DP tonight when I see him.
Am I reading too much into this? I wouldn't dream of messaging my friends new partners?
