After being together 6 years my boyfriend won't let me meet his friends. Is this normal?

Me and my BF have been together for almost 6 years. I'm 26 & he is 31. He has never made it a point to let me meet his friends. I have met his family though. But in all of the time we have been together I have only met some of his friends once a few years ago because we bumped into them when we were out somewhere together. He didn't even introduce me. I also know he has a lot of chick friends too. I haven't met any of them either. When he hangs out with his friends I am never invited along even though they bring their girlfriends along too sometimes. I've asked him several times if I could meet his friends and he always says "I just want to hang with them by myself". Is this normal? He's met all of friends. Also we only see each other like twice a week, so it's not like I'm with him all the time and he has no space. Also he says all of his friends know about me, so wouldn't you think they would want to meet me too? What do you guys think? Any advice would be great.

he has a chick on the side (or youre the chick on the side) and shes the one who gets to meet the friends.

No thats not normal you sohuld just go and meet them your self

No, that's not normal. I'd say he's either ashamed of you or ashamed of them.

... weird.

I don't think it is normal at all-seems like he has some kind of double life to me.

NO!!!!!!!!!! B suspicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, but I think Ashley T. might well be right.

I don't think that is normal. I think you should have a super serious conversation with him about this. Is super strange that you both been together for 6 yrs and not met his friends. I don't know about you but i feel that he is hiding something. So good luck about this!

I would not be okay with this situation. If he wants to keep his friends and his girlfriend apart, that's usually because he's doing things with his friends that he doesn't care to share with his girlfriend. It's clear from what you say that girlfriends are "allowed" by the group, so that's not the issue.

The issue is that he wants to be a single wild guy with his friends, and a boyfriend when he's with you. I have left relationships like that in the past, and I would do so again.

NO this is not normal ! He must have something to hide.

People share completely different things with their families than they do with friends. You should have met them before the family. I would have been worried after 6 months. He is hiding something!

i do think it is rather strange that he does not take u around his friends....i would tell him that u feel something is wrong....does he hang out with chick friends or guy friends? six years is a long time to be together without meeting his friends............

Guys hanging out with the guys is normal. But your situation seems to be very odd. I like to hang out with my friends without my girlfriend too. BUT I also bring her along when we bring our girlfriends. This seems very odd to me. I would ask more questions if I were you.

No,NOT normal !! You should have met his friends a long time ago. He is hiding something. He probably has more girlfriends. Find a new boyfriend !!

After six years of never meeting friends, I'd have to say he probably as quite a few "girlfriends" - that could be the only reason I can think of for his not letting you meet them. Meeting his family is ok, for they're probably used to him "dating" a lot. If you were truly bf/gf, you would see him much more than twice a week after 6 years! Just because he say they know all about you, do you really think that's the case? I hate to tell you this, but I really feel you're being used. You've wasted 6 years with a guy whom you see only twice a week - for 6 years?! Please dump him NOW and find somebody who wants to be with you all the time!!

6 yrs ?? what are you crazy !!! he is using you !!! he is playing you !! open your eyes. if you have been together that long, than he is definetly hiding something, that somthing is YOU. HE DIDNT EVEN INTRODUCE YOU TO THE ONES YOU RAN INTO. do you enjoy being his secret? no self respecting women would put up with that. move on.

same thing happened to a frind of mine. turns out he had another "formal" girlfriend and she was his "lover"

maybe you should try tyo analyze other situations in your relationship

GOOD LUCK!

I think you should run the other way!!! VERY FAST!!!! Why waste another 6 years on this guy, if he doesn't think enough to introduce you to his friends in the time that you have been together then when will you be good enough. He probably has someone else that he takes when he sees them.
