I need some feed back…
I was reading an email my boyfriend send to a girl asking her if she played golf and if she wanted to join a golf tournament. There was a reply was :well, i dont really know how to play golf. i am just learning, but it’s fun! U care to teach? hehehe.

His reply was:so you wanna learn how to be a better golfer? awsome, i’ll be willing to give free lessons, ha ha.

I am really mad because in the pass i had ask my boyfriend to teach me how to play golf so i can play with him. So this event comes along and he rather teach another girl to play than his girlfriend. What should i do? Should i leave him, i am really hurt?
First to the girl “HONEY” I live with this guy… and no i’m not in high school….
First to the girl “HONEY” I live with this guy… and no i’m not in high school….
To the girl “HONEY” I live with him this is not like a high school relationship. He is 30 and I’m 25. So I think i am damn right to be upset over this. If he is going to teach a girl to play golf why can’t he tell me instead doing behind my back. I am not a jeoulous person, i came a cross this when i opened my lab top.

Maybe you’re reading too much into it.

Some guys are just overly helpful or friendly.

confront him - let you know you are uncomfortable, especially because you have voiced your opinion on wanting to learn the game.

or dont tell him your getting lessons and the next time you go out you can go kick his ass in golf

You should break up with him. That is completely disrespectful and obviously he is making a play for her.

dont trust him, maybe they mean something different then GOLF. talk to him, and tell him how you feel before you make any big decisions.

He sounds like a player, girl! Better check to make sure he cleans his “golf balls” after he goes swinging with the tart.

Maybe he is just being friendly and wants to teach another person how to play golf.

It’s sad that other people are telling you to try and make him jealous. That’s how relationships fail.

There’s nothing you CAN do, but whatever you do, don’t let him know that you’re pizzed.

It’s best to not show any jealousy at all, because we guys will play right into that.

No don’t leave him! He hasn’t really done anything, right?

But you COULD just hang around with some other cute guy because you want to “learn guitar”…convenient…

its just golf…. maybe he doesnt want to play with you… guys dont want to spend all their time with their girlfriends…

WHY WERE YOU READING HIS EMAIL?

he should dump you, because you are- nosy, jealous, clingy, and undecisive.

He’s not going out with her or anything. He’s teaching a girl how to play golf!

approach him about it. tell him that makes you uncomfortable and if he respects you he will teach you isntead i’m sure. if he doesn’t then you have my permission to punch him in the balls, cause that would be messed up on his part.

If you’re reading his e-mail, you obviously don’t trust him. Talk to him. Tell him you don’t want to jump to conclusions, but you feel hurt and would like to hear the full story. If he can’t supply one, he’s not worth your time and energy. Sorry you feel this way. There will be others…give it some time. Good Luck! :-)

It sounds like she already knows how to play, he’s just helping her get better. That’s completely different from teaching someone from scratch.

Also, he may think your relationship may get in the way of the criticism he’ll need to give you to teach you the game. He can’t shout at you when you just don’t get how to grip the club without knowing that you’ll be mad at him later.

Either way, you’re completely overreacting.

Personally I think you have every right to stick a 3 iron up his @ss. It appears to me he is keeping you on the line while he tries to line up some other taco.

If he’s seeking out someone for an activity he declined to do with you, I’d say it’s fair to have a problem with it.

Talk to him and tell him why you’re hurt. What he does with that information will determine your next move.

He sounds like a mullethead.

In a case such as the one you’ve just laid out, I’d be hurt, too. If you’re his girl and you asked first, then he should be teaching you as opposed to this other girl. Go out and find yourself a guy who really cares about you…

this has been told for thousands of years. You can only truly know you own a bird when you open the cage and let it fly out. If it returns, you will certainly know that its yours

This may be just the time that will show you how much or little he cares for you. don’t you think it will be cool if your guess is wrong and he is just trying to be nice to this girl.

It would not hurt for you to ask him to explain his motives and why your not getting lessons

You have a right to be upset. And people saying dont say anything to let him know your jealous??? Uh this isnt jealousy this is a matter of wrong and right. If she wants to learn how to golf.. find a single man or a professional person that can teach her.. (properly) .. Stop hitting on your man. The email him saying im willing to give her free lessons is BS. Sorry coming from a 30 year old.. this guy sounds like a idoit. He needs to respect his gf. And consult you. This is what a relationship is. Built on trust. You dont trust him and you want to. Confronting him about this doesnt make you a jealous girlfriend. He doesnt wanna teach you though.. he needs to get his priorities straight!

Id tell him he can if he wants to date her, because your not going to hang around this sort of behaviour. My husband doesnt do this. He has female friends but he doesnt off free lesson. Bc its not on. And he has just agreed with me now… so seriously dont feel bad about confronting him. He may not know its a problem till u say something..

It sounds to me that you had to drag him to the golf course to teach you to play and he can’t wait to get there to teach her. If this is what you are trying to convey, then the best thing for you to do is ask him why he is more than happy to teach her when you had to beg him to teach you. I agree with you, he feels different toward this girl. However, you are the one who has to decipher his answers to your questions. Just remember to be pleasant when “TALKING” to him. If his answers suit you, stay with him; if not, kick him to the curb. There are thousands more out there, some better, and some worst.

You definitely have every right to be hurt. Sounds like both of them were flirting, which is a warning to you. Flirting is like carrying a sign saying you are interested AND single and giving others that impression is dangerous for you, the person you flirt with and your (and their) relationship or for either who are in one. A lot of people are believers that males and females can be friends…this is mostly false and in rare occasions, can be true, but mostly or only if they’ve known eachother since like, elementary school.

Regardless of how you read the email (which, if you don’t normally share these things, he may get defensive and want to turn things around on you about how you looked through his stuff, yadda yadda), it would be a good idea to approach him and let him know you read it and are uncomfortable with this “friendship” he is developing without your involvement (not “permission”). Also, you can mention that the fact that he is willing to do something for and with another woman before his own girlfriend and they are flirting with their “hehehe’s” and “haha’s” doesn’t really make you comfortable with their friendship whatsoever (you should probably leave out the hehehe and haha unless he asks how they were flirting or you’ll sound sarcastic). If he tries making you feel ridiculous about feeling hurt…it may be time to let him know that caring about your feelings is a big part of a relationship so if you being “ridiculous” or “overreacting” is his response, you’re going to have to say goodbye because you respect yourself to know that there should be a compromise rather than a put-down. If he hears what you’re saying, cares about your feelings and agrees to refrain from that kind of behavior in the future, you can feel better about keeping a relationship with him. Does that make sense?
