My man and I are in a serious relationship, discussing marriage and children etc. Like many, we share our experiences on social networking sites and it is pretty obvious that we are in a relationship.
Well, today he emailed me a copy of a work email between him and a female friend/coworker. She said "small world. I know someone who knows your friend "Tami".. " ... He replies "cool! whats his name?"... and totally ignores that she referred to me as his friend.
This particular person has seen our pictures together and "liked" them so she knows that I am more than his friend. I told him that I couldnt help but notice that she called me "friend" and he said "she knows youre my girlfriend." But to me, if a guy friend or... anyone really called him my friend, I would correct them.
I was bothered because he didn't even think enough to say "cool! youre friend knows my girlfriend. nice, whats his name?"...

Am I being too sensitive?
Not really a big deal. She may not know how serious your relationship is with your boyfriend. Also, many people refer to their friends signifigant other as their "friend".
I understand what you mean...something similar happened to me yrs ago.
But yes, a bit overly sensitive. As long as he treats you like his girlfriend, let it go...

Do you think he's possibly interested in this "female friend/coworker" or do you really think he should always correct anyone who refers to you as anything less than his girlfriend?
You all are right. Thank you! I didnt make a big deal of it... but I thought about it a lot. But he is a GREAT, very loving man and I realize, especially after your input that it is not something I should worry about.
Yes. If he views you as his girlfriend and sounds like he wants to get serious with you, who cares if a coworker called you his 'friend'. You know you're more than that. He knows you're more than that. That's all there is to it.
