| 0:00.0 | My boyfriend is going on a week-long vacation with his female best friend, and he's telling me that while he's there for eight days, he and her are going to be sharing the same bed. |
| 0:09.2 | And right now, I am so distraught over this information, because right now I don't know what to do. |
| 0:14.0 | Here's what happened. So my boyfriend and I have been together for six months. During this time, we haven't really had any major conflicts, and he hasn't given me |
| 0:21.4 | any reason not to trust him besides having a lot of straight female friends. I really wish this |
| 0:26.5 | didn't bother me at all, but it does a little, especially because I've never been able to maintain |
| 0:31.2 | any friendships with straight men, due to them eventually wanting something more. About a month ago, |
| 0:36.7 | we were discussing plans for his |
| 0:38.2 | birthday, which is next week. And it's right then that he let me know that he would be out of town then, |
| 0:43.5 | because he would be vacationing with his best friend, who is this girl he was very close with |

| 1:00.1 | I'm generally fairly confident in my looks, but I'd be delusional to pretend that she isn't |
| 1:04.9 | objectively more attractive than me. So, not wanting to seem controlling, I said, cool, |
| 1:09.7 | that's totally fine. But I asked him for one thing. |
| 1:12.8 | He cannot share a bed with her. Well, he acted like he didn't understand why this would be an issue. |
| 1:18.2 | He told me that if it was me, he would have no problem with me sharing a bed with a straight male |
| 1:23.0 | friend. I told him that while it's easy for him to say that, being that I have no straight male friends, |
| 1:28.3 | I highly doubt he would be 100% cool with me sharing a bed with some 6-2 male-model-looking guy for a week. |
| 1:34.3 | But even though I made that point, he still disagreed. |
| 1:37.3 | We went back and forth some more, and I thought we came to a consensus that while he didn't understand my concern, |
| 1:43.3 | he respected me enough to |
