My (24F) boyfriend (25M) says I’m disrespectful for inviting my friends on a group trip. Thoughts?
My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 2 years, living together for almost a year. I started nursing school this past fall and made friends with a girl- call her Lisa (24 F) and a guy- call him Benny (32 M). We all became very close. Studying for exams and occasionally going out for drinks. Last week, I told my boyfriend I’d like to invite both of them on a trip that would include him and Lisa’s fiancé. So it would be all 5 of us because Benny doesn’t have a girlfriend currently. He told me he has no interest in meeting my friends much less going on a trip with them. I told him that I’d like to go as a graduation celebration next summer and thought I’d bring it up now (I’m a big planner). The three of us work so hard and it would be fun. My boyfriend got mad and told me it was disrespectful to invite another guy on vacation. I’m conflicted because on one hand I understand his concern because if the roles were reversed I would probably feel weird about it too, but I also invited him to come. So in that case, if the roles were reserved, I’d go on the trip with him and his friends. And yes, I know not everyone is like that so I’m conflicted on what the right answer is here. Anyone have any thoughts?
