He, quite frankly, has no right to tell her who she can have as a friend. If he has a problem with you, then he should suck it up and accept the fact that he is neither your boss nor hers. If he cannot handle that, then he is clearly not mature enough to handle a relationship. Not only that, if he has a problem with you, and it isn't likely to result in him being injured, he should be telling you rather than other people, and he should tell you in a non-threatening manner. Unfortunately, we're dealing with a man-child who thinks that he's the boss of his girlfriend, so I would personally be shocked if he were to act his age and do something mature like that. My view is that she has every right to hang out with you, and if he doesn't like it, then tough shit. If I were in a relationship in which I had to have permission from my partner to be friends with somebody or needed my partner's approval before hanging out with somebody, I would be seeking a new partner who actually respects me as a person, but that's just me.
I know! This pisses me off so much, just cause he doesn't like her hanging out with me. I've known her since we were freaking babies, so he just has to accept that. Hopefully they won't stay together for too long, she's already planning on getting her own house next year. The stupid thing is that he was actually nice to me before they got together.

D| I hope you don't mind me butting into your personal life.
I know it sucks that this guy is doing something like this, but try to think about it from his perspective- maybe you did something that really offended him, and you just don't realize. And he's trying to protect his girlfriend because he doesn't trust you. Or maybe he's just a jerk. Whatever it is, you should go talk to him, and ask him why he thinks that way. It could be a just a misunderstanding, and you'd come out looking like the cool mature one in the end.
And if it isn't, then you'll be able to say to your friend, "I was nice. I came to talk to him, and he didn't care. He's obviously an immature possesive jerk, and you should leave him."

I hear you there, and I've already done that. The only thing I can think of that makes him upset, is that my friend gives me lifts. And he wants me to pay for the gas sometimes. And I'm willing to, but seriously, I can't help it that she likes to drive. And it's her car, not his, so why should he even care? It can go weeks without me seeing her, but when I ask her over or she wants me out for a ride, he gets upset. And he does the very same for his friend, but does she complain? No. I'm working on getting my own license, but it's expensive, and money's a bit tight at the moment. At least I take the bus when I can.
He doesn't even have a reason not to trust me, he hardly knows me at all. But it's his problem, not mine. At least I'm not avoiding my friend because of her boyfriend.
He is not worth the worry until he is able to stand up for his opinions on you. Try your best to ignore what he has to say or call him out on it next time you hear something.
Sometimes its best to simply bring it out into the open in the most blunt manner.
