TL;DR: My friend (let’s call her A, 16F) has been dating this guy (B, 16 M) for about 10 months. He’s super controlling, especially about her choices and who she hangs out with. I’m worried about their relationship and how it might affect our friendship.
So, my friend A has been dating this guy B for almost a year now. He’s really controlling about her choices, especially how she dresses and who she spends time with. He even told her he doesn’t trust me, which is wild since I have my own boyfriend and I’m not trying to come between them.
A says he acts like this with all her friends, which makes it even worse. There was this one time during a sleepover when he dropped her off, and I told her to ask him to keep it down since I wasn’t sure if my dad would be okay with it. I thought it’d be nice to say hi, but he just stared at me like I was crazy and refused to say anything back, even when A told him to. It was so awkward!
To top it off, he revved his engine really loud, and my dad and the whole neighborhood heard it. A was super mad and didn’t even want to sleep over anymore because she was upset. She tried talking to him about his behavior, but it seems like nothing’s changed.
We’re supposed to go on a double date for her birthday, and I’m really hoping he doesn’t act up again because I want her to have a good time. I’ve been giving her some space lately to avoid any drama, but I’m planning to keep my distance from him when we hang out. I just don’t get why he acts like that, and I’m worried it might mess with our friendship if things go south. All I want is for her to be happy and feel free to be herself.
