To go in a mood with boyfriend over this.

Hi,
I am not living in the UK (incase anybody questions the lockdown rules)
Boyfriend was a night out with his friend tonight and then called me and told me they were drunk speaking to some people who were all with their partners.
He said he and his friend were joking around with them and they were all having a laugh and his friend said to the girl "what are you doing with him" and how pretty she was.
This took me back as my boyfriend and his friend are out nearly every weekend and his friend also has a girlfriend.
He said i was being unreasonable as it was his friend who said it and now ive.made him feel like a bad guy but at the time it made me question what else they get up to and who they speak to on these night outs they go on.

I feel i've massively overreacred now though. Tried to speak to him to apologise and he is in a mood with me for making him feel he's done something wrong

YABVU. Massive over reaction.

I think its unreasonable theyre out every weekend but you cant control who they speak to and only hope he behaves in an appropriate manner. Do you have trust issues? Surely if he's on a night out he can speak to whoever he wants? Possesiveness is a very ugly and destructive trait and ruins relationships. Please try and focus and remember jealousy only truly hurts the person who is jealous.

I'm lost, what did he do wrong?

BrowncoatWaffles · 11/04/2020 07:42

I’ve reread it and don’t understand what he’s done wrong either. His friend is male or female? Did someone mistake them for a couple?

His friend sounds like a dick
Dicks attract dicks

Yes, this.

I don’t think I understand the post - your boyfriend’s friend said something unrelated to you, to a girl, and you’re annoyed? How old are you?

Shitsgettingcrazy · 11/04/2020 08:13

The friend said something dickish. However he was also drinking. Mn often has threads where the OP has fot drunk and being a dick, no one every says this means they just be a dick all the time and so are all their friends.

Op, you are annoyed that the friend, made a dickish comment to a girl? And you are annoyed with your boyfriend about it?

Tbh, I couldnt be arsed being in a relationship with someone who got in a mood with me because of something someone else said.

this may well be true. Bit of a creep thing to say. Do you think your boyfriend does similar things?

rainbow1982 · 11/04/2020 08:32

I don't understand to be honest, who did what?

Hotwaterbottlelove · 11/04/2020 08:57

Think this is what happened -

BF and friend went out drinking. Friend say to a random girl 'why are you with him' in relation to her own boyfriend who is also in the conversation.

OPs boyfriend later calls OP and retells this story, presumably thinking it is funny.

OP doesn't find this funny (because is I rude to the random girl, her partner and to the friends gf) and it makes OP worry that these sort of dick moves are happening each time they go out and so also wonder if that's an indication of how her own boyfriend behaves.

OP I do think you over reacted a little but it would also make me a bit worried. The fact that he told you like it was something interesting of funny is what would annoy me.

People with dicks for friends are usually dicks themselves.

Where are you if you're not in lockdown, thought everywhere was?

Zaphodsotherhead · 11/04/2020 09:51

You are unreasonable to 'go in a mood' with anyone.

Talk to them.

Guavaf1sh · 12/04/2020 15:13

Zaphod is right. ‘Deciding’ whether to be in a mood or not is extremely childish
