I’m the type of guy who has typically gotten along with my buddy’s girlfriends and wives.

But even I can admit that sometimes, a friend was involved with someone who was totally overbearing, ALWAYS around, and, to be honest, was a pain in the neck.

And if there’s no escape from that person, chances are some people are gonna be turned off by the situation.

In this story, a man opens up about why he had to be honest with his best friend and tell him that he doesn’t want to hang out with him if his girlfriend is always gonna be in the picture.

Check out what he had to say.

AITA for telling my best friend I don’t want to hang out if his girlfriend is around?

“We are all 22 years old.

I’ve known him since we were in 5th Grade and he started dating this girl junior year of high school.

At first it was alright, but I noticed she didn’t really like being left out of anything. Even if it was me trying to have a deep conversation with him about personal matters I didn’t really want her to be around for at the time.

Hmmm…

Since they started dating, we haven’t really had a one on one hang out session or even gaming session online without her barging in and making herself comfortable.

And to be honest, it’s getting really frustrating.

A couple months ago my grandpa passed away and at the time I was also struggling with my dog getting old as well as another person really close struggling with cancer.

I called him because I was stressed out and needed someone to talk to and as I was talking she interrupted the conversation asking if I could start from the beginning because she wanted to hear everything that’s been going on with me.

She sounds pretty immature.

When I told her I was dealing with a death in the family and a lot of other stuff and just wanted to talk to my friend personally about it, she said “oh okay I guess I don’t matter anymore” and stormed out of their apartment.

He told me he had to go and hung up.

And at that point I can’t really describe how upset I was.

And usually I’m not really the type to care about stuff like that, but after so long of her doing this stuff and on top of that saying “I guess I don’t matter anymore” after I told her I was dealing with a death and other stuff kinda pushed me over the edge.

He laid it all out there…

So the other day I sent him a message telling him how I felt about the situation and told him as long as she keeps interrupting and being a piece of garbage, I don’t feel like hanging out or playing anything online until she stops barging herself into all of our conversations and one on one time.

Ever since they’ve started dating we haven’t been able to play the games we want because she wants us to play what she wants every time, and we can’t talk about things we usually enjoy talking about (like our past and things we did as kids) because she wasn’t involved and apparently she thinks I’m trying to “steal him.”

When in reality I just want to be able to hang out with him without her always being involved.

Here’s another example of how she interrupted when he tried to hang out with his friend.

Another scenario we had recently was one where she was out of town for a couple days and me and my friend decided to try and rank up on Rivals.

But she gets notifications when he gets on his Xbox because she favorited him and as soon as he got on she called asking what he was doing and why he didn’t call her earlier.

Basically, what I’m asking is, AITA for telling him I don’t want to hang out or do things until she calms down and stops trying to be a part of every little thing me and him try to do?”
