me and one of my guy friends exchanged numbers so i could help him with english homework, but we never even talked on the phone and my intensions were strictly homework. my boyfriend thinks that my friend likes me and now my boyfriend dislikes my friend because of that. my boyfriend knows we gave each other our numbers and he got really upset. i told him that i didnt give out my number for personal gain but ONLY to help my friend with english. should my boyfriend be mad?

I think that your boyfriend feels insecure with you talking to another boy. For him, he feels the competition of another man in your life, whether or not he is just a friend. As long as he knows that your intentions are pure, it will all blow over. I understand a protective, concerned boyfriend, but if it escalates, you may need to reconsider your situation.

I think you are both at fault here. A lot of men and women do this to each other, and wonder why the other person gets mad. Yes, he should trust you, but you also have to be considerate of his feelings, and not put him into the position to question your trust.
Just because you have no interest in your guy friend, doesn't mean he thinks the same way about you. Guys can usually spot other guys intentions with women right off the bat, and maybe thats what your b/f was seeing. he could also just be the really jealous type and just be imagining things.

Well he does have a reason to be concern because he is a guy himself and he knows that something innocent can always possibly turn into something more even though your intentions are good you want to help your friend you also need to understand that it is not abnormal for your boyfriend to feel the way he do. Let me ask you this question who is more important to you your boyfriend or your friend? Take care of your relationship if you love and care about your boyfriend your friend will have to seek another way for help and as a guy himself he should understand and respect your boyfriend if he does not you should question his intentions you have to be careful when a guy friend ask for help because if it causes conflict between you and your boyfriend you should not help him but let him seek else where. Yes your boyfriend should be mad you could have kept it to yourself if he is only a friend now you have to clean up the mess tear up the number.

I don't think that he should be upset but i understand where he's coming from. Most guys just say that they need help with English and stuff like that just get your number. Even if you think it's to help him with his homework he might have other intentions (not say that he does or doesn't) but your boyfriend thinks he does. Just tell him that he's the only one your in love or want to be with and no one else and you won't do it again. Good luck

No. Especially since you never even talked to the other guy on the phone. Talking to someone over the phone is just like talking to someone in the hall. Does your bf get mad every time you talk to a guy in the hallway? If he does, then you need to move on. If not, then he needs to grow up and accept the fact that he doesn't own you and you have a right to talk to anyone you want.

I agree with some of your other answerers. He seems insecure. If I were you, I would remind him that he is still your boyfriend, and that's not going to change for the time being. Unless, you think that he has crossed the line, if so, you should think about breaking up.

No he shouldn't. You should be able to have as many friends male or female that you want to. If he can't understand this than you need to ditch the jerk before he starts controlling your whole life. The are more fish in the sea.

Jasmine, you can not control your boyfriend's anger, only your reaction to it. He is "mad" or he is not "mad", his feelings of anger are not your responsibility, they are his. He has to work through them, asking for clarification and giving an apology when it is warranted. Hope you can work this out with him.

no he shouldnt.hes being irrational.hes probably insecure about himself therefore any contact with a guy makes him unsure of himself. he probably wants to KNOW you are his by not having you talk to other guys.thats the only way he can be 100 percent positive you are his.its just insecurity.talk to him about it

He shouldn't be mad. He's being possesive and not trusting. If he doesn't change it'll only be a problem as long as he is still with you.
