Hello,
My boyfriend and I have been together for about 2 months. He has a couple of very close female friends (who has has known for a lot longer than me) the other night he and one of his female friends went out to a comedy night (I had just returned home from uni for xmas) and then she stayed at his afterwards...he told me about it but I still can't help being paranoid that something might have happened.
Also, I have a feeling she fancies him and she has recentely split up with her boyfriend. I dont know whether Im justified for feeling slightly paranoid about it all, any opinions??

Anyway, yeah, I think the fact that he told you maybe means that nothing happened? I'm probably biased tho, because I am a girl with loads of male mates...
If hes being upfront id say he aint hiding anything. Its certainly not the action of a guilty man.
Don't let your imagination tell you that something could be going on because I'm sure it's not, and I know that imaginations can get out of hand and it will just upset you and your boyfriend and could drive him away.
Good luck and keep smiling!
Yes, you are being needlessly paranoid. If they've been friends without anything happening for a long time, why would something happen now he's loved up with someone else?
My ex used to tell me when she went out with a guy she knew, going for lunch, a drink etc. So I assumed because she was being upfront, she had nothing to hide. Turns out she did, she had been cheating on me with him for months, then she left me.
Sorry to be a bit negative, but just because he's being honest about it doesn't mean there is 100% nothing to worry about. Chances are you are fine though!
I was going to say something similar but didn't want to be the first to post something negative. Just because he's upfront about it doesn't mean he has nothing to hide. If I or my f.friend want to hide us f.ing from our partners, we tell the whole truth about everything we do, how close we are etc. just leave the f.ing part out. If you're going to lie, it's easier if it's close to the truth. Be careful hun. x
I've had one scenario with one boyfriend and I let it be, only to discover he was cheating on me, even though he told me where he was, what he was doing and who he was with.
However, my current boyfriend has several female friends and although he isn't with them all the time, they are stunningly gorgeous. And as someone with very low self-esteem, I found this really difficult to deal with. He's also in a band that are doing pretty well. I can't always make it to his gigs, and I know fine well that he gets a lot of attention from groupies and what not. I'm also a worrier, so I was pretty paranoid, though I knew I had nothing to worry about. 11 months down the line, and everything's fine.
I guess what I'm trying to say is... be careful. But the best way to deal with this is to deal with it up front. Time him how you feel, tell him that you felt uncomfortable/unsure. If he's a decent guy, he'll listen to you, talk to you. His response will tell you whether he is honest or not.
This is a major trust issue that lots of people go through. To be honest, it's a matter of time. Essentially, trust is the foundation of a relationship. Remember this.
