Sorry. Petty. Don't read his facebook comments if you are that insecure.

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?"...
I totally agree. I leave my work relationships just that....I have witnessed too much drama over the years for those that get too involved w/ co-workers.
They work together? I thought the OPs boyfriend worked with the friend.
D414....Don't you consider it a compliment when someone calls you their friend?...especially when you've been with them awhile?...what would you rather he called you?...I think you're being too sensitive...but I'm not sure about what...or why

Am I being too sensitive?
No, you are not!! That happened to me in my last relationship! Bugged me to no end. It happened all the time, in fact-from my boyfriend/finace. HE was the one introducing me to his friends as "my friend Kris."
It was so disheartening. Words can be devastating. Meanings need to be clear.
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."
Yes, I caught that too. Unless they both know more than one Tammy (and that is totally possible) it is odd.
Yes. Maybe even though she kinda knew you were dating, she didn't want to be presumptuous.
