jayto Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 We are both 50 and have been dating for 6 years. Both own our own homes, we do not live together. He has been associating with three couples for the last 20 years. They socialize mostly, plan trips, go camping, dinner parties etc. The wives are very "tight" ... clicky and hesitant to let any other women be part of their "group". They will call or text him for social get togethers, but not once have they attempted to contact me. They have "girl" trips, shopping days and lunches to which I am never invited. I feel they use my boyfriend almost like a surrogate husband. They cook for him, call him and invite him to travel. I am at the end of my rope trying to compete for his time. I don't join him when he is with these people because the women are cold and catty. I have asked that he stop hanging around them and meet new couples together. He still associates with these people but I know he feels like he's in the middle. I can't continue my relationship with him if he's not willing to meet new people and stop associating with, what I call, this dysfunctional family. Any suggestions as to how I can manage this situation? Thank you.
