My girlfriend of 2 1/2 months the other day brought a topic that I am concerned about right now and I feel I have to get some advice.

We were about to cook dinner last wednesday. While we were driving home, a friend of her called her on the cellphone and invited over to hang out with a "work"group she has in university. This group meets every wednesday to work or sometimes just to hang out. Well the day we were driving home to cook dinner she told to her friends that she would not go because she was with me.
The fact that bothers me quite a bit is that there are no boyfriends allowed in the group. 6 males and 3 females (2 with B/f). None of the males has a GF.
She mentioned about this group when we were both friends..So I knew about it.
While she was mentioning this to me I felt uncomfortable. Then she asked me what was going on.. I said "how would you feel if I told you I had a female group and we meet every saturday but you are not allowed to join?"
then she said "OOhh really I would feel bad ....mmm I will do something about it"

The day after, at night, I felt I had to mention to her that, since I was so uncomfortable that I would gladly appreciate to join 1-2 times on a wednseday with this group ASAP. Then I added because if I feel uncomfortable for too long it is better to end the reltionship.

She started to cry and then said that during that same evening she talked to the group and there was no problem at all for me to join.


is something strange there ? is it my confidence? am I trying to read into things? is she hiding something she does not want me to know?

Why did they decide that there are no boyfriends allowed in the group? I know some strip clubs don't allow boyfriends in to see their girlfriend working, but the clubs have good reasons behind their policy.

I'd probably do the same thing that you're doing - except my biotch wouldn't be allowed to go without my permission.

because the group is from the university and they have made so close ties that they do not wanna shut the intimacy they have in their enviroment...


she invited me to a birthday party on friday 24 where the group is going to be .... she said she wanted me to meet the group.

That's a mighty lame excuse. "Sorry hun, but you can't come with us because you'll just get in our special way of talking, which you couldn't possibly relate to. Oh, and no one there wants to meet anyone new as it will throw off our discussions."

Anyway, it sounds like your problem is already fixed if she's inviting you out with them.

If you want to talk, talk to your friends. If you want a girl to like you, listen to her, ask questions, and act like you are on the edge of your seat.

I wouldn't have gotten upset, I would've laughed.

What kind of college-aged group of people get together for a "work" group and then start setting out cliquish club rules like you did in junior high--or not even--in grade school--???

If they have a work group, the group does work, or study, or whatever. Sure, they kinda hang out--that's expected. It isn't a big deal, it's part of being in college and trying to get good grades.

Now they do a "no BFs" rule? Puhleaze! I'm surprised she's handling this like she's still in junior high and letting it get to be an issue. Most women I know would laugh at its juvenile-ness and bail, or just join it when they needed to and make polite excuses when they didn't want to. You wouldn't even know there was an issue unless she decided to share a laugh with you over how juvenile they're acting. I mean, how hard can it be--??

Anyway, she did the right thing by cancelling on them when she had something planned with you and is now seeking to involve you in things.

IMO, you over-reacted. She's handling it well enough at the moment, give her some slack.
