Wow, how old is this guy? He doesn't sound like he's mature enough to handle a relationship! In any case, you need to talk to him about his reaction. If you stay with him, make sure he has his "guy time," but remind him that you are his girlfriend that he has to spend some time with you too.

I'd be mad

Well, guys do like to have "guy time" but I don't think you really did anything wrong. Not sure if I'd be mad but my feelings would be hurt and I would talk to him about it. He could have chosen his words more carefully.

Really don't think he wanted to go shopping with you and whoever the other person is. What guy would? You should not be mad.

thats fine that he needs his guy time. BUT all u did was ask if he wanted to come?! he should either a) make an effort and go because u are actually being mature enough to see if he wants to join in and do something with u and his friend together or b) just be nice and say 'sorry babe, maybe we'll giv it a miss this time and you can have some time to shop for urself and ill hang out with my mate, but we can catch up later if u like?' you werent butting into his plans!!! ugh some ppl make me mad! i had an ex like this- and then if he wanted to do something i was expected to drop everything and join him! so, yea, u do need to understand he needs guy time (there is no harm in asking him tho if he wants to join u- just dont be pissed if he says no ...nicely)...just as u need you time and 'girl' time! BUT be mad at the fact that he was rude about it and told u to stop butting in when u clearly were just offering! talk to him about it, but if he cant see where he went wrong, move on hunny and find someone who will appreciate u and be nice about his 'guy time' stick to your guns! cuz if u back down he will take another mile and befor u know it he will be hanging with the boys all the time, u will have to tag along to see him (only when it suits him), he will continue to speak rudely to u and not consider your feelings, become much more selfish and its a one way street to a very unfulfilling, loving relationship that u surely deserve

It is fine to feel upset.Your boyfriend should never make you feel like you are "stealing" time.I think his actions were selfish and immature.Be the bigger person and move forward and use this as a learning experience.I hope he realizes how this hurt you.On behalf of the guy world I would like to apologize to you.We can be very childish at times.

Of course he needs his guy time, but his answer was rude. He could've just said, "No thanks, I haven't seen so and so for a while so I want to hang out one on one with him." Are you very clingy and do you try to keep him from seeing his friends? If so, then he'd have a reason to snap, but if you don't try to restrict his guy time and you were just being nice, then you have a right to be mad. Ask him why he was so defensive.

From a guys point of view, I understand that he wants to take the opportunity of you shopping for some "guy time". But it sounds like he came off pretty rude...tell him it was just an idea and he needs to quit being a d!ck.

Yeah its okay that you're mad he came off as a dick there is a way of talking to people respectfully and that was NOT IT! He could have easily said 'I'd just like to have some time with my friend' or 'maybe another time? I havent hung out with him in ages'. That guy needs to learn some manners! Let him know you're pissed and that you felt the way he answered you was bang out of order and that you were just trying to be nice. Personally I would've said there and then 'Whats your f**king problem? PMSing are we?' But I really REALLY dislike people being bad mannered when I'm being nice to them.
