Am I wrong in telling my live in boyfriend that I don’t want his female friends coming over to the house when I’m not home, out of respect for me? Many of them are his ex girlfriends…
It’s my pet peeve!

No, it sounds reasonable. Just explain to him that you don't really feel right having girls that he was in a relationship once in your home. If he's reasonable he'll understand, too.

It's understandable that you feel this way and it's not wrong to ask. Though, if you trust him then you should trust that nothing will happen while you're not there. Trust is important in a relationship.

It is totally reasonable. It sounds wrong to me too when his ex- gfs are meeting behind your back. If they come when u are with him it's fine but just keep a watch on him. Maybe there would be a genuine reason of the meet if he is honest and reasonable

It's totally fine to feel that way! Just be careful incase he starts meeting his female friends out of your house instead. Make sure he understands why you don't like it so he knows where the boundaries are xo

That sounds fair. Especially if these girls are ex's, that would put even the most confident partner at an uneasy state. If you explain how it makes you feel and ask him how he would feel if it was the other way around and you were inviting ex boyfriends back how would he feel? Good luck and I hope it all works out for you. x

It sounds completely reasonable to me. It's a house you share and they're his ex's. I really wouldn't be okay with his ex's coming over either, honestly and I'm usually very reasonable with my bfs. That, I just wouldn't be okay with though.

Nop..You are not at all worng its obvious in a realtion that you some times need your personal privacy from public/social activities..!! and even your doubt is obvious bcuz you dont want to loose or get you both in toruble.. What i suggest is just have a brief talk with him and explain what you feel.. and express it in an Impressive/Focusing way (indirectly) so he understands what your value is..:) I am sure you both are gonna have a long and happy Life ahead..! :) :)

Some of his ex's he considers really good friends.... Would that make a difference ? I know them, but I still don't want them there when I'm not home.

I am going to go out on a limb and disagree with most here. I see absolutely 0 issue with him having friends over. Female or male you shouldn't get to choose. Are you comfortable if he were to tell you no male friends over? I couldn't be in a relationship with someone who thought they could control the people I could see and hang out with in my own home. I believe in trusting my partners and trusting them to respect me when I am not home. I would hate to be with someone who acts completely different in my presence than not.
