Mixing friends can be dangerous. lol. You can come with Xing and I to a party in a neighborhood, I have no business being in. Meet somebody in the music industry. LOL!

Does he have better ideas or something?

It is unfair. To me, it's a deal breaker. Leave his pathetic ass. If you live together, either go about breaking whatever arrangement you have properly. Otherwise, cut and run immediately. Whatever you do, DO NOT LET HIM CONTROL YOU. (Sorry. I use caps because there is no bold face.)

Maybe he's planning an awesome surprise, or he knows the friends will wreck the house, or...it could be lotsa things. That's kind of an unhelpful, generic answer isn't it? I'd just assume he's sick of them and wants to hang out with you.

yes, Take your friends and Go to a Club, Tell him to get his friends and have them over while your gone. OR Have Hime make a list of Friends and you make a lIst of Friends and then Limit How Many can come over and then make sure there are equal numbers.

Yeah, sounds a bit unfair. Me and some of my friends are going to Main Street in Huntington to watch the fireworks Friday and I'm having a BBQ on Sunday for all of the cast of a short film I am shooting that night. Not sure if Main street is really your crowd, but it should be fun anyway. And Sunday, you could get your BBQ fix with some actorish types of people =P.

He sounds like a baby. But then he looks like one too. ;-)

I don't get this concept of him saying "no." Are you his girlfriend or his daughter?

Invite them anyway Sara, he'll get over it yo...

Maybe he has something awesome planned for you two this 4th of July, maybe some of his own fireworks lol. Hope it went well.

Yeah, not gonna lie, that's a little low! I'm for you on this one!

Is there a nice way you could talk to him and have some Fridays for you and other for him? If he does not wish to reach an agreement on the subject why not go with your friends to a nice place away from home? His attitude is quite unfair to not say selfish. Regards.

Yes a bit. Tell him this is not how things work. The idea is he gets to do something he wants to do and then you get to do something you want to do. It's called playing fair. Bear in mind,that the reason he's so defensive about this particular week, is more than likely because he has already asked them over (have geniunley not realised what you wanted to do) and he doesn't relish the thought of cancelling (it's a man thing - once they have set an agenda of stuff to do, then they cling on to it for dear life). If I were you, I would have it out with him, make your point (including that you are not a doormat) and then cave in and agree that your friends will come the following week instead. Doing it this way means that (a) you have reaffirmed your status and you won't just sit there and let him have it all his own way (2) you walk away looking good having shouted about it and then, like a mature adult, calmly conceded and allowed him his friends to play this week (3) if it starts happening more or again and you want to win the next round, then this little gem will enable you as much moral superiority as you need. Reserve your right to bring this up at any point in time, whenever you choose, be that next week or in 10 years time. LOL
