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

I hate to say it, but your boyfriend sounds like a control freak and unless you are ok with having to tell him where you are going all the time and who you are meeting, etc. I think it might be a very difficult relationship. I've been married for almost 30 yrs. and 95% of the time we know where each is. It's not because we don't trust each other. It's because we love each other and care about each other's welfare. We normally know where our are, i.e. if they take a trip out of town and that way we don't get worried if we can't reach them at their home. It's letting your close loved ones know. It depends whether your situation is a "control issue" or someone who loves you and wants you to be safe at all times. I wish you well.
