He has friends, but all his friends are married or have S/O and spent most of their time with them. I have finally figured out that he's one of those people that the nanosecond they get into a relationship they disappear and spend all the time with their s/o. He hangs out with friends on rare occasions. I am the EXACT opposite, I hang out with my friends frequently and do stuff outside of work and school (I've started volunteering for the ASPCA). We both work (him full time, me part time. And when I go out with my friends, I have to tell him it's 'girls only'. He wants to come to ALL my friend outting and I'm like...no Plusss. Then he gets annoyed when I stay out later than usual with a friend that I havent' seen in a long time bc he's so used to us eating dinner every day. I don't know how he got so clingly, but yeah it's overkill sometimes.
It sounds like you need to talk to him about how you feel about his behavior. He sounds a bit jealous (wanting to come hang out with your friends and getting annoyed) and needy (about not being able to have dinner by himself when you're out).


I have talked to him about it, but I think I will have to reintroduce it again. He knows at times he's being ridiculous and he then feels guilty for acting like an ass.  I guess at times he regresses and I appreciate that he recognizes this. The feeling is very transient though. I love him lots.
