Over-reacting, yes. People do not sit and ruminate over casual emails. She definitely acknowledged you by name and it was a compliment to want to connect people together - "so and so knows Tami." She was just trying to establish a commonality - that folks knew one another.
You are way too touchy. You can't put a force field around your boyfriend. And expecting him to be all anal and "correct" a simple statement is really waaaaaay over the line. Makes you look terribly insecure. You don't want him to think of you like that so don't say another word.
Thank you for the feedback!...I didn't say anything about it.
Youre right, women are different. I think many women would correct the person in a polite way. Ex: "really? awesome. My man does know a lot of people..who is your friend?" etc....
This is why facebook is a horrible thing. Just stop using it. Does the guy introduce you to people as his girlfriend when you meet real people in person? Do you know his friends? Have you met his family? If yes, then you're his gf.
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.

[everybody in this situation knows so don't worry about it - unless he stops treating you like his girlfriend]
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.

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?
Yes, I hear people in your position characterized that way often, and no slight to the relationship is intended. And I really don't so a glimmer of it in the exchange your friend had with his co-worker. Stop worrying about vocabulary, you have the relationship.
While I tend to agree with the majority here, I still think it's weird that she would refer to you that way. You say they are friends/co-workers. I don't know about anyone else, but I refer to friends/co-workers' significant others by their names. I don't say "I saw your friend/husband John." I would just say "I saw John."
