This can be painful to accept, but some of your girlfriends may not want your relationship to succeed. It can be hard for some women to see their best friends get into serious relationships. If you had a slightly co-dependent friendship, then your girlfriend might just worry that you’ll no longer be available as you used to be to talk on the phone at a moment’s notice, go on road trips together, get drinks during the week and have sleepovers during the weekends. Then you may have friends that are outright jealous because their own love lives aren’t going as planned. Deep down, they believe that if they can’t have a serious relationship then nobody should be able to have one. It all sounds petty, I know, but it happens all of the time in female friendships. The closer the friendship, the greater the chance it can happen. Are your friends a bad influence on your relationship?

They call him controlling for asking where you are
When your partner simply texts to ask what you’re up to or when you’ll be home, your friends joke that he has you on a leash or he is too controlling. They may even grab the phone and teasingly tell your partner you aren’t coming home tonight, just to make him feel silly for asking the question.
