Girlfriend is over reacting

I split from my wife last year and am in love with my girlfriend who I met just a couple months on. However, she is angry with me because of the following-

1. Telling my female friend about my ex wife taking her vibrator from our marital home above the photos of our child.

She said it was inappropriate and not what you say to your female friend.

2. The fact that I 'touched said female friends thigh' several times throughout the conversation and sat and put my arm around her. (She was upset)

Said I shouldn't be touching another woman especially on the thigh.

We were at a house party when all this was going on and I didn't know my girlfriend was watching although my actions would have been the same regardless. I did nothing wrong.

Thoughts?

Even if you feel like her complaints have no solid ground...they are her feelings and you should acknowledge them. Maybe it is time to talk about boundaries.

Clearly she has boundaries. You talking about something personal like that to your female friend means you talk to her about personal things in your relationships ...this could be the underlying concern for your girlfriend. You touching another womans thigh is clearly something she feels uncomfortable with and something you should consider not doing because it makes her feel threatened in some way.

It all comes down to this: if you love her, you also respect her and if these things bother her you have to consider them as valid.
