What you need to know:

  • A more reasonable request would be coming to a middle ground. Every once in a while, invite him into your world.
  • Let him come out with you and there will be no trust issues. Also, stay in with him sometimes.

I have a problem. My boyfriend is against me going out and having drinks with my friends. He does not take alcohol but I do. How do I convince him that I am just having fun and there is nothing wrong with drinking responsibly?
