My boyfriend and I have been together now for a little over 4 years. We have been living together for the past 3 years. Lately, the past couple of months, I have been questioning how far this relationship is really going to go. There are a couple of issues that we have had lately that I think may be indicative of future problems down the road. There is a bit of an age difference – almost 10 years between us. Earlier this week, I told him that I was going out with a couple of friends that I hadn’t seen in awhile. I went up to hang out with them after he played in a soccer game, so I thought he would be able to go out and get beers with the boys while I was out. When I came home, he had not gone out. He said that he was just tired, and actually ended up going to bed early. The next night, he had two softball games that I came to watch. After the games, he tells me that he is going out with the team (which is co-ed). No invitation to me, just that he was going to go out. The only reason that this is really bugging me is because there was a new girl on the softball team that I noticed he was spending a lot of time talking to. My feelings are a little bit hurt by the fact that he did not invite me to come out with them… Am I overreacting? I know that he needs time to hang out with his friends too, but when it is a co-ed event, why no invite to the girlfriend?
