Maybe it makes you feel controlled and trapped... So speak for yourself... Knowing that my man got to work safe with a quick text is really sweet and nice. Knowing that my man went to lunch with his buddies, well I wont bother him, Ill let him do his thing! Knowing that he went out with his boys and where is good, if theyre all too drunk to tell me where they are, well I can go pick em up. Knowing that he got home safe with a quick text, very nice thing once again, I won't have to worry about it. Knowing that he went to dinner with his sister that I have never met, will avoid this situation.... If he's going to dinner with a woman that isn't me, no matter if its a friend, cousin, sister, aunt, whatever, he shoulda just text her saying im going to dinner with my sis, its not like its hard to drop a quick line. If you and your girl got off the phone, you went out with your pals and you encounter her at the movies all smiling and giggling with this guy that doesnt looks anything like her and you have never met or heard of before, I think you would be a little bothered as to why she didnt tell you. Although you might not admit it cause u dont wanna look "weak and jealous" it would totally bother you. He needed to communicate more, not her.

Jeez, calm down.

Oh and btw, I'm a girl.

Sorry, just letting you know that not everyone who tells everything to their significant other is trapped or controlled, we just love each other and want to let each other know, like lovers do.

Paki and PurpleHaze -- Trusting each other enough that you choose to tell each other most things in your lives is good for your relationship. Forcing it out of your SO, to know where s/he is at every second of the day, will make him/her feel trapped and controlled. You should never feel that you HAVE to tell your SO where you are at every moment, to avoid suspicion of cheating or something else. What's the argument here? These are both things that legitimately happen in some relationships. OP -- You bitch! Regardless of family relations, he's allowed to be social with other girls if he wants. If you must go to the restaurant in the first place, smile sweetly and introduce yourself as his girlfriend. You can always slap him later if you find out that he's cheating, but this way you won't be a total bitch if he's just having a meal with a friend. Good thing you're not MY girlfriend, because you'd be dumped so fast! If you don't trust me, I'll find someone else who can. I work hard to earn that trust, so that she can feel comfortable leaving me my freedom.
