Bronwyn Talbota month agoHi, I’m a 25-year-old woman, and I’ve been in a relationship with my 25-year-old boyfriend for a while now. Throughout our time together, he’s mentioned and met up with a few female friends frequently. Some of them I’ve met, and others I haven’t. These meetups have been casual and platonic, like grabbing coffee, having lunch, or going for walks. However, there seems to be a pattern with these women that’s starting to make me feel a bit uncomfortable. These women, who he knows through various places like work or family, are all in their mid to late 30s. When he talks about the conversations he has with them, I can’t help but notice that many of them share negative stories about their dating lives. They complain about bad experiences with men, and a lot of them express that they’ve given up on dating and just want to live a “free” life because they believe there aren’t any good men out there. If it were just one friend, or one conversation, I think I’d be able to brush it off, but this seems to be a recurring theme with at least 3-4 of his closest female friends that I know of. I don’t think he has any weird intentions with them, but I can’t shake the feeling that something about it feels off to me. I’m not sure how to talk to him about it or how to deal with these feelings without ruining the vibe between us. TL;DR: My 25-year-old boyfriend has several close female friends in their mid-to-late 30s who complain about bad dating experiences and seem to embrace a “free life” without dating. It makes me feel uneasy, but I don’t know how to talk to him about it or deal with these feelings without causing issues in our relationship.162
