Is it weird if your boyfriend doesn’t introduce you to others as his girlfriend, or am I reading too much into it?

From my personal experience, it means you may not be the only girlfriend he has.

How long have you been together? And how does he introduce you ("and this is...") ?

This question needs an answer.

That’s one of those situations “ if you have to ask the question , you already know the answer “ .

I don’t think that’s weird. When you’re somewhere together, who else could you be? I feel like it’s very high school to say this is my girlfriend.

If he just says ‘this is Jane’ I wouldn’t worry too much. But if he says ‘this is my friend Jane’ then you should worry.

Context is important as well. Is it potentially a coworker or acquaintance that he doesn’t see much, vs a close friend he sees often. Talk to him about it

like

I’d go a step further, if it’s a fresh relationship he needs to be explicit “this is my GIRLFRIEND, Jane”.

like do they know already?🤔 still strange

I’m (early30s) about 8 months into a relationship with a 40m. Things are wonderful in every aspect, but he is absolutely atrocious with his finances. I felt it becoming an issue about two months ago. He forgets about auto payments and just generally doesn’t care. I sat down with him and looked at everything and even after talking it out he still continues to stress and it’s now causing me stress. I had a final discussion with him today about it and he went on abt how love isn’t enough for me…

I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

While he is overall a decent guy, his anger issues, yelling at his wife for the slightest issue, and insulting nature makes me uncomfortable and triggers my own anger due to his blatant disrespect for just about everyone around him.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).

Been having trouble moving on since girlfriend ended relationship 3 weeks ago after 2+ years of dating. Before ending it she came over 3 weeks prior to basically give me a chance to work things out and we had a good discussion but then I went back into our routine and didn’t really fight for it or have serious follow up convos that we needed. Now I just have so many regrets that I let her go. I know we still love each other and left on “good” terms but can’t forgive myself for my lack of action.
