"Sometimes it feels like I have to beg for my boyfriend's consideration. There have been times in the past when he's been invited to a social function, a wedding or a birthday dinner, and he has not included me. Sometimes I'd wonder why he didn't invite me to join, but more often I'd just assume it was a guys' thing."
"Tell your boyfriend what you heard his friends say, and ask him why he doesn't invite you to many of the social events he attends. Point out that you would love to hang with him more, but he doesn't often invite you. Press him to find out why. Ask him if he would consider inviting you in the future. Get him to talk. He might fear commitment."
"My 14-year-old daughter's best friend gets jealous of my daughter when she spends time with other friends, even though her best friend has other friends as well. If my daughter hangs out with classmates, teammates or family friends, her best friend becomes mean toward her. Sometimes she makes rude comments, and other times she gives my daughter the silent treatment. I'm worried because this behavior seems emotionally unhealthy, and I can see it starting to affect my daughter's confidence and happiness."
A woman reports feeling excluded when her boyfriend frequently attends social events without inviting her and when his friends label her as the girlfriend who doesn't come out much. She should tell her boyfriend what his friends said, ask why he seldom invites her, express her wish to attend events together, press for an explanation, and request that he invite her in the future. Possible reasons include fear of commitment or inability to cover costs for two people. A mother reports a 14-year-old daughter's best friend becomes jealous, makes rude comments, and uses the silent treatment, harming the daughter's confidence and happiness.
