I've been in relationships with guys that are sweet to me when it's just me or my friends. But when I was with them and their guy friends they were rude and ignored me. I don't understand. Why can't they just be themselves?

Ego. Boys are taught that feelings are for wusses. When other men are around there's a fight or flight syndrome that occurs. The fear being that the other guys will question his manhood. In that situation, most guys (or should I say boys) take flight by putting on their tough guy faces.
It's primitive and you shouldn't let anyone treat you bad, no matter how nice they are when no one is around. Make them understand or jet.

It's an ego thing, mostly. They don't want to look sprung because their guy friends will laugh and make joke's. Sad but true. I would say have a talk with him about it with a few examples so he can get what the situations are like for you.

for the same reason girls change when they are around their friends. When a couple is together it is easy to work together. But if a bf goes with you when you are out with your gf's he will feel the same way you probably do when he is out with his guys. So the answer again is, he changes when he is with his guys for the same reason you change when you are around your girls. There are just certain things guys do among guys and girls do among girls that are different from a couple or coed setting.

Male social structure is highly competitive. Men need to bond by performing certain social rituals with one another. Women are ignored because the man does not want to appear "weak" in front of his peers. It is primitive, of course, but that is what they do.
