Hey all,
I have been in a long distance relationship on and off for the past two years with a girl from back home. I moved out to Los Angeles to work in the entertainment industry which is a very notorious social industry and relationships are everything to get ahead.
She has been having trouble with my relationship with some of my female friends that I have out here, and basically female friends that I have in general. It all started a few months ago when i was going to go with this female friend to see a movie and I'm open and transparent and let her know exactly what i'm doing. She says it's weird and gets angry with me because I want to go to a movie with her because she's one of the few friends that wanted to go. She says I need to find an "appropriate movie going friend".
It's come up again and again when I hang out with said female friend despite the fact that i've assured her that there is nothing going on and I have explicitly told her that I wouldn't cheat on her in any way and she keeps lecturing me on what's "appropriate" and "inappropriate" however I know what my boundaries are and they don't sync up. She's more strict and I'm more lax.
She's got her reasons to be distrusting from past relationships and she believes that the beginning of our relationship wasn't exactly syncing up right because I was interested in someone else at the time but eventually ended up choosing her. Any advice as to how to handle this? I feel like every time we have an argument because I do something I think is innocuous and she thinks it's inappropriate. Thanks!
