Thank you. To answer both your questions, yes, I like two of his male friends. I did like his best female friend until very recently when she got 'weird' on him. Part of me takes into consideration alcohol consumption...

I did leave my life behind. My job, parents, friends and other family. But I have been open to his friends and excited to meet and spend time with them. The problem is they have not been very accommodating. I feel it rude to reiterate the past in front of someone at their exclusion...I find it rude to flirt and be needy - he knows I feel badly I never met his mother, yet his best female friend always brings it up.

Basically though, many of his friends have been horrible, without goals or any real etiquette or respect toward me or Jon...sadly. I have been questioning my relationship and giving serious consideration to leaving, which is sad. I love him, but maybe not enough to handle this.

I do encourage him to spend time alone with his friends. In fact today he will be picking up the male friend from the airport that I dislike. This male friend has been very unkind about me for no reason, as I even offered to let him sleep on our couch when things got bad for him.

I have no issue with that.

I have even told him it is okay for him to do things with him without me but he doesn't like that. When he does do things its generally work related (His best female friend is also his assistant) as he tells me he doesnt want to hang out with them alone too often, finds it draining etc etc.

Thank you for your replies. I appreciate it.
