Of course, that's what they all say! Until it happens.

There really is nothing strange about it. Even my mom, aunts and their friends still have sleepovers when someone comes from out of town and for their girls weekend getaways. Come to think of it so did my grandmother and great aunts.

What does your boyfriend think is happening?

The concept of it is not good period .

Although it happens often. you gotta admit, if it was the other day around you'd be double thinking too. He just said it out loud instead of bottling it up and not tell you what is on he's mind. I rather someone be upfront about what is bothering the mind then not saying at all

Has he ever 'gone ballistic' over anything before?

After arguing for a few minutes, I told him I was staying and that I would be home in the morning.

Is it me or is he overreacting? I just find this so weird. He also didn't like the fact that I've only known this girl for a couple months and that he's only met her once.
Dump him.

OP, I agree with the above, but I'm not done. Before you start thinking of breaking up with him, I can understand his side too, EVEN IF YOUR FRIEND IS A FEMALE TOO.

I'm a female & my BF spends a few nights at his brother's house maybe every few months. Now people may say, what's wrong with that, but his brother is not a single guy. His brother who he stays with is married & they have 3 little daughters. I personally don't really like it that he spends the night there, but him & I aren't married yet, so I can't say too much. My BF says that when we get married, that he won't do that anymore, so I guess he's getting this "fun" out of his system. He has 2 other siblings who he's not close with, so this particular brother is the only family member he sees on a regular basis. They also meet up for lunch during the brother's lunch break from work at times. My BF doesn't really have any friends either (like myself), so I guess he needs some outlet away from me. But I can completely understand your BF's side. It becomes bad when you notice that he's controlling about more & more things that you do.

Well if for instance the friend is a single party girl, I can understand him not liking your spending too much time together. It is very common for women to cheat after being inspired by hanging out and partying a lot with their single girlfriends. I don't know that this is the case, my point is merely that we don't know the whole story here.

I think it's totally normal. I've done it all the time.
