I have been dating my bf Seth (25M) for close to a year now. Recently we’ve gotten into a major fight because he kept seeing my guy friend text me throughout the day, he thought he was trying to flirt with me but i showed him all the messages and assured him that’s not true. I’ve known this guy since middle school so ofc I’m gonna stay in touch with him.
Anyway it seems to really bother seth and he always asks why im friends with other guys when i have a boyfriend. I called him out for being a hypocrite because there’s been several times i caught him commenting on thirst traps from girls on Instagram. It’s one thing to watch them but it’s another thing to comment and message these online girls. Seth claims it’s different because he doesn’t know any of them IRL.
I asked some of my friends what they think and they all said he’s being controlling. I just wanna make sure im not being a bitch because i really do like seth, but it seems he won’t let this go. Btw he’s not controlling in other areas like he doesn’t care what i wear when i go out which is good because i know lots of guys don’t let their girlfriends dress up.

I dumped a guy at that age for the same shit.
Newsflash: he was arrested for DV against his next girlfriend because he put her in the hospital after a male classmate emailed her about a group project in one of her college classes. Fuck you with a rusty pipe, Sean.
RUN.
Start counting down the days until you are” too friendly” with a male cashier or “why did that guy smile to you?!”
NTA. Abusers always want to separate you from friends.
Damn right OP isn’t the asshole here. Seth’s all over girls on Instagram yet he freaks out when she talks to a childhood buddy… it’s like, that’s a double standard if I ever saw one
His jealousy is just an excuse for his own controlling nature, plain and simple. He needs to get over himself and realize OP’s not his property
