I basically told my boyfriend that he should look for a new friend group because I don’t think Hanging out with them is going to motivate growth for him . Part of me couldn’t help but feeling like I was being a controlling girlfriend by asking him to look for a different friend group . I feel bad about that part but part but part of me feels like I’m right .

His argument was that he knew these people from childhood .

My bf has this Friend group since he was in the 4th grade .. he’s now 24 , and his friends are anywhere from 24-28 years old . Some of his friends do not have jobs ,do not have a car, can not hold a relationship , every weekend is party life . Some are dads but they don’t have a relationship w their kids . My boyfriend and I also have a son together , but he is very much a present father figure .

Lately he had been hanging out with one of his divorced father friend and I know he tells him about his random hookups and his party life and now my boyfriend is acting distant from me . I just don’t think it’s a Coincidence . I think it’s bringing up some feelings of wanting that life for himself instead of the family life that we have .
