Question
ok...my boyfriend was over at my house just 5 minutes ago and my friend was here and he was acting very distant for some reason...I ignored it then he was on the phone w/ someone and they asked where he was and he says " I'M JUST AT A FRIENDS HOUSE " and normally that wouldnt bother me but whenever I am on the phone with him or he is on the phone with someone else and he is asked where he is he always and I mean always says oh I'm with chris or whoever he is with and in the beginning of our relationship and up until lately he has always said " I'm WITH MY GIRLFRIEND HEATHER " and now I have noticed he says I'm at a friends house and he has even stopped introducing me to people when we are in public I have to stand there and sometimes I'll introduce myself anyway....well after he said that on the phone he hung up and said he was going to meet his dad and then I tried confronting him about it when he tried to kiss me goodbye I said joking ...no I dont wanna kiss you...you dont kiss people who are just your fiends hoping he would pick up on it so he said w/e and he would see me later and so I slammed the door hoping that maybe if he didnt get the point w/ me saying I dont kiss my friends he would know it really bothered me but that didnt work he just rolled his eyes as if he didnt care and it was dumb and maybe it is but ...he use to tell people where he was or always tell people where he is at if he isnt w/ me or leaves me out and says just where he is or names everyone but me that is there...when he use to say tell people and now I'm just A friend but we have been together for like 7 months now !!!and out of nowhere I'm just a friend....it just bothers me....how do I handle this ?

Answer
Saying remarks and slamming doors are immature....why not tell him what's really bothering you and talk about it.
take care

ps.
don't read into every little thing that he says or does...or think theres a meaning behind it...give him some breathing space, girlll!!!
