Toxic Masculinity
So a series of events went down 2 days ago which eventually led to the moment my boyfriend’s friend asks him if he finally hit. My boyfriend tells me all this and lies to me and says he told his friend no. I confront him again and he gives in and he confesses that he lied to me and his friend. He actually told his friend yes, that he did hit and continues to defend his “yes” by saying it’s a “man thing”. I’m a virgin, I make it crystal clear I’m not ready yet and he’s got to wait. But it bothers me, how he lied to both me and his friend. He clearly knew, even if it was subconsciously, that I wouldn’t like the fact that he told his friend yes when we hadn’t had sex yet. Hence why he lied to me. I don’t know why this bothers me so much, maybe it’s because I’m already uncomfortable with his friend group/ this specific friend to be exact (he’s called me a racial slur in the past so that’s a red flag)? Or maybe it’s because he did that to protect his ego, his man pride. Or maybe it’s how he made it seem like I was “easy”. I don’t know guys, am I trippin? Like am I mad for a good reason? We haven’t talked since I hung up that FaceTime call 2 nights ago and I don’t know if I should bring this problem up again. He has a toxic masculinity problem for sure and he’s shown it through his actions and words.
Edit : I’m so sorry if this is confusing to read, I didn’t know how to write and make it make sense
