    have a question to ask strangers its random but i cant figure out how to set up a discussion...

    Basically ive been with my b/f 3 years and we do our seperate things like go out with our own friends etc we dont live in each others pockets and neither of us are jealous r clingy. We go on our own weekends away with our friends and we go away together also.

    This year my b/F has decided to go travelling for about 6 weeks with a few friends around america. None of my friends are going away this summer and I have asked if i could come along as i get on with them and it would not bother me being with a group of lads. He says he doesnt want to mix the 2 together however i cant understand this as its not like he never gets lads time and i just really wanna travel but none of my mates r into doing it. its not that i dont want him goin away wthout me.

    can sum1 please explain????

    Maybe he is worried that his friends wouldn't too pleased? I don't know about you, but if I was going away with the girls, and one of them bought her boyfriend, I would be a little uncomfortable.... if there was a group of couples it'd be ok, but just one couple.. eeh, I would feel a bit odd about it to be honest.

    If that isn't his reason, then I'm not really sure...

    I'd have to agree with the above comment but what you could do is ask if you could come over for a week to meet up with him.

    When guys go away in a group for a lads holiday or whatever, they don't bring girlfriends .................. it's an unspoken code! If you're going as couples, fine, but otherwise don't put pressure on him to invite you to something you're not invited to.

    Most guys act differently around their group friends than they do with their girlfriends. I know with my group of friends id be cracking horrible jokes, sexist jokes, football banter and just general lads rowdiness. If my girlfriend was in the room then it would be noticeable that id be more well-behaved. Its not hiding anything, just having more respect in the presence of a lady.
    If your boyfriend thinks about you tagging along then maybe he feels he cant have those extra few cans of beer on a session, or maybe he wont feel like he can let his hair down as much. Gigabyte made a good suggestion. Try to plan a week or a few days and meet him somewhere like las vegas. have fun with them for a while and then jet off home. Dont get too down if he doesnt want you to come along at all. Its just a lads adventure and he'll be home at the end of the summer.

    I actually dont even no why i asked that question cos if sum1 asked me id say the exact same thing!! think it was more the fact that it was my only option to get outta here for the summer... but few my friends have came around now so were gonna all head away 2gether and then when my friends an his go home were prob gonna meet up sum were an travel around... Real excited now bout been able to go away wit my friends :):) thanks 4 the words of wisdom :D
