Actually, one of the reasons why I wanted to make this post was b/c he was so adamant that his view is 'the common view' and that I was just crazy for thinking otherwise and so I wanted to see what other people think.
What is his ethnicity if you don't mind me asking?

@OP: Been there, done that. It's quite frankly one of the most annoying things one can deal with in terms of relationships.

Behaviour like this says that your partner doesn't trust:
. You
. Your friends
. Your ability to fend off friends/acquaintances that make moves suggesting they want more than friendship

It's a reflection of how they view themselves as well. If this person doesn't have enough faith in themselves as a boyfriend/girlfriend, of course they're constantly going to be on the lookout, because they assume someone better will come along.


P.S The ethnicity has nothing to do with anything. PHLN is just strange

We don't have euphemisms for anything more specific than "playing Starcraft," but I'm sure we'll develop those soon enough.

It started back when I was playing on one of my friends' accounts, as I had not yet bought SC. Let's call him Carlos. So, my boyfriend was over for the weekend and we had plans to go out for dinner with my friends on the floor. For an hour before we were due to leave, my roommate was out, so of course sex ensued. Shortly after we'd finished, the guys next door passed by my room on the way to the common room and banged on my door, yelling stuff like "ENOUGH WITH THE BANGING YOU TWO, LET'S GO." (They'd texted me during and I'd responded that we were "busy" and would be out soon.)

So we got dressed and joined the guys, and I said, "FYI, don't jump to conclusions. We were playing Starcraft." I meant this to be an obvious joke...but some of them thought I was being serious.

That is, until Carlos said, "But wait...you couldn't have been, I was logged onto the account until just two minutes ago." Lolol.

So yeah, now "playing SC" = "having sexy time".

E.g., "Hey Carlos, want to join us for a game of SC? ...but uh, not that kind of SC. Sorry. :( "

Through examples I've seen, ethnicity has to do with it a lot of the times. Persian= Middle Eastern (well debatable, but that's not the case.). Middle Eastern culture essentially means guys and girls can't be friends and there always has to be "something" behind this friendship. Maybe that has something to do with it..?

Haha he may own your heart, but not your social life, you should be able to hang out with friends of any gender that you like. He seems to be attempting to control how you live your life.

your bf is probably deeply insecure and has little respect and trust for you. He clearly only wants what is best for himself, keeping you at all costs, even if it means destroying your social relationships.

the reason he can't explain it is probably because when he is not in control it just really bothers him, something is abnormal with his psychology and he can't verbalize this. Otherwise he would have just explained it right away no problem.

If he really had your interests in mind, he would realize that you are better able to choose your own actions then him choosing your actions for you.
