My partner doesn't like it when I hang out with my best friend: Advice?

Sounds lile he did something she knows about that he doesn’t want her to tell you about. Or they both did in which case cut them both out.
But just deciding out of nowhere that he doesn’t want you around her is super suspicious

Something happened between them and he is afraid she will tell you. You need to find what that something was and go from there.

I would discuss it with your friend because it will at some point ruin your friendship. As for your relationship -LEAVE- he is controlling and shows strong narcissistic behaviour. That’s toxic and emotionally abusive. LEAVE. go to your friends house with your child and work out a plan from there. He won’t change, they never do.

Did they hook up or did she catch him doing something shady? Maybe he hit on her and he is scared she will say something.

I think something else is going on with your partner. Maybe some insecurities leading to either wanting more attention or trying to isolate you. Either way it should be brought to attention. Maybe therapy if a direct conversation doesn’t work…

Ummm…HUUGE sign of narcissistic behavior. Hell no.

Legit, first signs of isolation and control. First friends then it’s family. Do not ignore those warning signs.

He sounds like a child that needs to grow up.

Sooooo
My husband and one of my best friends don’t get along and that’s okay I mean honestly yes it makes things tough but I’ve told them both I’m not picking between them I’ve been friends with her since I was 3 and I’ve been with my husband since I was 16 I love them both dearly and can’t imagine my life without either of them…
So when hubby is at work I will go hang out with her (husband knows) or we go do things for her birthday or mine and he keeps our kiddos but I need them both in my life…

You need to flat out tell your friend what he’s saying and how he’s behaving and ask why this change in him against her?

He came on to your friend

The controlling behavior will only get worse. Get out before this affects your kids.

So this happened with my ex and he hated my “best friend” who was also my babysitter so I could work and she stayed home with all our kids. They “hated” each other… Until one day I came home from work early and all of our kids were taking a nap and they were in my bed. This is why I do not trust many people…
Either he tried and she denied him, or she caught him doing something and he don’t want her to tell. I would talk to her about it and if she’s truly your friend she will tell you. His behaviors are very controlling and wants you to be “alone” do not do that, don’t let him do that to you or your babies.

If he’s changed the way he feels about her something has happened especially if he’s jealous you spending time with her.

I would be questioning if she made a move on him or vice versa. If not then why would he want you to have a friend? Hopefully not trying to isolate you.
Get them in a room, you’re all adults and question it. Until an answer is provided I would assume the worst case scenario

If they got along in the beginning and now all of a sudden hates her … something happen between them … theres definitely some suspicious…I would ask your friend …he don’t want u hanging out with her " BECAUSE " he scared to death she will tell u whatever happen between them…

What an immature nasty bully

Well what is his reasoning for hating this best friend? Or him in this best friend having a fling or have they had a past intimate relationship or relationship with some sort? Has he or she made a move on the other or flirted hit on them etc? There has to be a reason or something that he doesn’t want you to find out has she caught him cheating or in a lie? Or is this a simple fact of manipulation and control that he wants over you

Maybe he made a pass at her and she turned him down and he’s worried that she might say something to you. Sounds like a horrible situation to have children in either way. And if you’re about to have another you’re about to be alllll kinds of hormonal. Find somewhere with someone who can help you. Friend, family, wherever. But get away from him. For a while anyway. You don’t have to make permanent decisions right now. But you may find your life to be better and less stressful without him. And you’ll also find you’re stronger than you think. Best of luck.

Yeah I’d have to agree with the 99% here, something happened between them… definitely. Question her and see her reaction, see if its defensive. Then question him. Youve never questioned before so they’ll be caught off guard but one of them will spill by saying something stupid! Xx

I’ve been the hated best friend and I can say with 100% certainty that none of this affair/making a pass/rejection thing happened!!! So it’s not a certain fact!!! He just hated me because I represented the friend having a life outside of him which he hated.

So don’t take all of this advice as 100% gospel.

In any event though, get out the :door:.

4 Likes

Sounds to me like your friend may know something your partner doesn’t want you to find out about. Could be:

  1. She may have caught him cheating

  2. He may have made a pass at her

Or,

  1. (And I really doubt this) something may have happened between the two of them
    Or, she may not have any clue why. Have you tried asking her? :tipping_hand_woman:t4:

He sounds shady anyway. Like he’s trying to isolate you from your support system. If you allow this, it’ll only escalate from here. Next, it’ll be your mom or sister who “are always in your business”. Serious red flag to me :triangular_flag_on_post:

Sounds like a jealous child trying to control you. It’s your friend, your doing nothing wrong. If there’s no legitimate reason for him to not like her, then he’s trying to emotionally manipulate you. Don’t allow it. If you stop seeing your friend today, then tomorrow he’ll want you to do something else. He may get worse when the baby gets here and not want you going anywhere. Don’t allow him to control your actions by making you feel a certain way. He’s going to get worse if you allow him.

It’s all about control
You are an adult and can decide who you want to be friends with without having to walk on eggshells or wait for the backlash of what he will say about it.
Start establishing boundaries that you should have established 7 years ago or choose to be controlled, guilted, manipulated and walked over
Good luck

Hmmm. I know it’s not the popular vote, but perhaps this is just a symptom of an already fragile relationship? If he has insecurity issues, mental health issues, etc…maybe he just wants more of you? Maybe he’s just reaching out?
I believe in balance in a relationship, where each partner has their own lives as well. I’m just trying to say that maybe he has concerns that he needs to voice…

That’s straight up manipulation. He’s literally isolating you. That’s how abusive relationships start. You need to take a good long look at him, set him straight and tell him that she’s staying a part of your life and get over it. Or leave. Because this most likely will not end good. Good luck.

Please dont end up like me with 0 friends and regretting it. As long as she is not toxic then tell him to shove it. Neither of you should have to sacrifice food friendships for your relationship. This is a sign of him being controlling and its unacceptable. Put your foot down now, or it will not turn out in your favor.

He’s straight starting to try and control you. Step one is isolating you from friends and family. Step two is getting you to make excuses for certain behaviors. Step three is making you believe that you deserve to be “punished” and treated like crap. DO NOT let him even get to step 2. Step out of that relationship and say good bye now.

Yeah. Just leave. This is how it all started with me. He didnt like my best friend. So i distanced myself. He didnt like this person. So I distanced myself. He didnt like when i did my hair a certain way or wore certain clothes. so i quit. He demanded to go through my phone. I let him. But then. He started breaking things. Screaming at me. Punching walls. Hiding my car keys. Blocking people from any form of contact whatsoever. Isolated me from everyone that ever gave a damn about me. Leave. Now. Get out. Before it gets worse. It will only get worse.

Moved your house ? Sounds like he wants to isolate you which isn’t good for your mental health you need a friend and a outlet. If he’s going to his friends house why not coordinate outings where he does something with his friend when you do something with yours ? Or I make time with my
Friends when my husbands at work then I can spent time with him when he’s off work. You should be able to spend time with your friend unless he has a specific justified reason why not too but IMO it would have to be pretty serious to
Justify it

He’s being controlling and manipulative. My ex did this. Would get mad and jelly of my friends. Any friend i had he found a reason to dis like them. It stressed me out so badly because i have no family here and the two friends i had he hated and i never heard the end of it when i tried to make plans with them. I became isolated home 24/7 with my son. Went on for a while because i allowed it. I have social anxiety now because i got so use to being stuck inside all the time because i didn’t want to hear him complain. Get away while you can, this is how it starts and it only gets worse

How do a grown person get in trouble. He sounds childish. He is trying to control you. Don’t allow him. He us trying to isolate you from your support. He wants to be the only one you have. Love yourself more. You deserve better. That is not love. He moved out let him stay out or you will be going through this for along time. Choose you and your children. If you told him you did not want him hanging with his friend/friends would he do it? Of course not. You don’t need him. This is how Abuse starts. Teach him how to treat you. Stand up for yourself. Children or not, he is not the one. That is definitely not love. The biggest mistakes we as women make is saying “I love him” and him not loving you.

I would start first by trying to understand why he suddenly doesn’t like her anymore? What has changed? Its hard to say that it’s him wanting to isolate you when yall haven’t had the problem for years. If it is something the friend has said or done that he doesn’t like he has to understand that its your friend and he still needs to trust you with her. If he can’t trust you then that’s a whole different problem that the both of you need to address if you want to continue the relationship.

:triangular_flag_on_post: he is trying to being controlling so when things get worse you have no one to turn to in a time of need

Just be weiry. Hopefully not but it is how abusive relationship start. Or they’ve slept together or something has happened.

What he is doing is domestic abuse in form of isolation. This is a huge warning sign. My opinion break it off you do not want your children to learn that controlling behavior is okay. He left his choice pack is stuff and put it on the step have your family or friend help you during the labor. Just my opinion but if he get away with controlling your relationships it will go from your friends to your family and can get more mental and possible physical abuse. Huge warning signs you need to pay attention to.

I would really like to say different, but unless she slapped his mama and grandma, something fishy about this Sis!

Did something happen between them? Something that she regrets and he’s mad she stopped it?

Screw it. Keep your friend. Be smart enough and strong enough not to allow him to ruin your friendship or the time you spend with your friend. Your brain is going to make or break you. Don’t care if he likes her, don’t give any energy to arguing with him about her. She is your friend and you are going to hang out with her and you don’t care what he says thinks or does about it.

She may have witnessed something he did and she approached him about it? That happened to me and my friend didn’t tell me. But he made sure I couldn’t see them (married couple with a child) after his time in the Army. We weren’t married yet. I wish they would have told me cause then I was young and didn’t have a child. They probably thought I wouldn’t believe them.

Maybe he tried to hit on your friend and she went off on him and told him no and now he has a resentment towards her.

That equates insecurity. Maybe he’s worried that she will open your eyes to his bullshit. :woman_shrugging:t2:he’s clearly controlling if he won’t allow you to have friends. He’s trying to control you and make you codependent on him in every way. Isolate you from the outside world and others who care about you. Don’t allow an abuse cycle to start. Set healthy boundaries and if it still remains issue understand that the relationship is toxic and it’s time to go.
