It's crucial to trust your partner and give his friendships the benefit of the doubt. Jumping to conclusions can put unnecessary stress on your relationship.

Remember, it's about how you express those feelings. Approach the conversation with a calm demeanor and use "I feel" statements to prevent him from feeling attacked. Try to explain specific scenarios and why they made you uncomfortable, rather than generalizing his friends' behaviors. It’s vital to be honest, but also fair and open to his perspective. This kind of emotional honesty builds trust and understanding in your relationship, and it may lead to constructive solutions that make you feel more at ease.
