Boyfriend is making me feel overwhelmed! HELP!!

So here’s a rant! Bare with me because I’m exhausted from this relationship.

I met my now boyfriend 3 months ago and we were going great but recently I introduced him to my friends (my girl best friend and her boyfriend (who’s also my close friend). Anyways, I’ve been telling him about them and how cute they are and then one night he asked me to ask them to add him on Whatsapp. But they didn’t have Whatsapp, only the Line app. So I thought you know, if they don’t have Whatsapp then I should just let it go...next thing I know he’s asking me to tell them to download the app!

I feel like he was trying to force himself to my friends. Anyways, I told him that they both had Line so it was better to use that instead. We both downloaded the app and he quickly made a group with 4 of us (including him). The one thing that annoys me is that he will say something on the group chat every day! My friends and I can go days/weeks without contacting each other. But it doesn’t mean we don’t care about each other.

Anyways he always say something on there and I’m getting pissed off! I can sense my friends are trying to be nice to him but my best friend (girl) says that it is annoying when he repeats the questions he asks. I feel like he’s trying too hard! Then he continues to ask that same night if we could all video call each other. By now I’m getting irritated. So I let my friends decide and they said “not sure”. I told him it was too early.

Recently also, I asked him if I could please get some space because we talk everyday! I was single for 2 years before I met him and 4 years before I met my ex. So I’m use to being independent and being by myself and all. I need a lot of space, even if I’m with someone. After I explained to him that I really need some space, he still contacted me the following morning. I don’t know what he doesn’t get by “give me some space, PLEASE!”

Plus he talks about future kids and all, and getting married (he’s Muslim) and I’m a convert myself. We’re in an LDR and both turning 21 this year. But I’m contemplating whether I can see him in my future. I’ve told my dad about him but he still hasn’t told his parents. He said that we have to wait 3 or 4 years for me to work on my deen (faith in Islam) for him to tell his parents after. Because if he tells them now, we have to get married. Mind you, I don’t want to get married at all yet. Too young for that!!

But I’m just sick and tired of hiding our relationship, plus to wait for 3 or 4 years to be called an actual couple (I don’t know if I want to wait that long).

What do y’all think? Am I overreacting over this?! I’m literally really tired of everything he says.

UPDATE: Girls, I broke up with him yesterday and he was really devastated but I know I did the right thing for myself. I feel a bit selfish but I feel better than I thought I would be. Anyways thanks for the advice ladies :)
