I am 20 and have been with my 20 year old boy friend for 2 years. We are so happy and never argue. We used to go to college together and had the same group of friends, which consisted of mainly boys and me and another girl. we used to go out for a drink each week as a big group, but when we all went to uni this stopped.

We are now in our 2nd year at uni (different uni's) and have not been out with our friends for about 1 1/2 years. we were all supposed to meet up at christmas but it got called off. in the last two days my bf out of the blue said he wanted to start going out more and see friends again. this was fine, until he said he wanted to go out on his own.

I am very protective and we have no secrets, but i dont understand. we used to have the same group of friends and go out in that group, but now he doesnt want me to go out with him as much as i have begged!!

I want to be able to go out as a couple to meet OUR friends, but he wants to go on his own. I cant understand what difference it would make me being there, its not as if i would stop him from being with his friends. Am I over reacting? should i let him go out on his own to see OUR friends, or am i right to want to go along as well?

Thank you.
