has anyone had experience with a boyfried wanting you to give up male friends, and tells you he loves you?

Well, I guess it's natural to want you to distance yourself from male friends as they're potential competition. Also as a man, he knows men rarely just befriend women simply because they like them.

Relationships give a lot but they also ask a lot.. like giving up the single lifestyle. The guy feels threatened by your group of male friends and you've given him reason to mistrust you - so I'm not entirely surprised that he feels insecure. How can he feel secure when he can no longer reliably determine whether or not you're telling the truth.

The fact that he loves you, which he clearly does or he wouldn't be devoting any energy to this, does not mean he is willing to be made a fool of by your determination to carry on exactly as you please. Your external consideration here, appears to be right on the decks.. you're considering yourself, you're apparently not considering him at all
