I think this is really a deeper issue than just this one. He is attempting to decide for you who you can and cannot be friends with. I would take a step back and look closely to see if its really just this one issue or is it a part of a larger control issue. I know you only mentioned the one male friend, but are there other areas that you’ve just not noticed? How to wear your hair? How to dress? Time spent with girlfriends?
As for me, I personally would never let anyone come between me and my friends… I’m still friends with two guys I dated in college from almost 30 years ago. But it is really a choice you have to make.

Hi Lisa, I enjoyed reading your post and it inspired a lot of thought on the subject.
If your post was first written in August 2015 the “older guy” was probably born in 1947. He is a boomer. He’s not a member of the previous cohort, the silent generation, although his parents might have been.
He’s a leading edge boomer and there are also boomers slightly older than he.

Hi Leigh…so glad you are enjoying the posts here. You are right about the age but, this women did give the age….I didn’t post it. It was 1944. Thanks for bringing this to our attention! Lisa
