And for your information i never wanted to go out with his friends...he would throw a hissy fit when i would want to do something on my own or with my friends..

i guess what made me the maddest was that he would refuse to come out with my friends and co workers....then if i didn't want to go out with him and 5 of his guy friends he would get pissed off at me, i would say" don't you just wanna have a boys nite out? do you really want me tagging along?" ..he would just say he wanted me come...i would give in...not really have fun, resent him for making me come out...
I guess i didn't have a lot in common with certain groups of his friends...it's not like being around guys makes me uncomfortable (75% of my close friends are guys..)
and he never made an effort to help me find a common ground...

Signs of bad things to come. Common ground is essential.

i agree..this is just a fact, i'm not better than any of his friends, i don't think they're horrible people...
but
it's just they are really in a different stage of life than i am..(cough, cough, immature, cough)
nothing wrong with that, i don't care, but why do i always get dragged along with them...
he can go out with them whenever he wants, i actually kinda like being alone sometimes..(i'm not used to sharing my space, i don't like roomates)
although he is starting to realize
that i am not an accessory..

Wow, Andrea, you sound like me... for one thing, I moved around a lot as a kid so my oldest friends are people I met in high school, whereas Scott can trade stories with his friends about preschool... add to that the fact that I moved out to California alone with no "network" of my own, and that he and his friends are all 2 years younger than me (which in college is a lot), and basically I spent the first two years of our relationship being totally left out of every conversation in one way or another. Eventually they all grew up and we eventually had mutual stories to tell, and I wouldn't give any of them up as friends. But it was tough.
But he doesn't seem very considerate. Seems to be a lot of that going around in this thread.

Yah Caliadria, he grew up here so also when we go to the bars he runs into hundreds of people he knows (and doesn't introduce me, 
HUGE pet peeve of mine, i just think it's so rude whether you are a girlfriend or friend or whatever)
I try not to let it show and try not to let it get to me but sometimes i just get annoyed..it's not like that all the time
anyhoo
for the threadjack, i was trying to shed a little insight on maybe why she acts that way..

She definately won't go on a wave runner, she's got a fear of falling off, also because she's so close to the water. No matter how hard I tried to get her on one, I was never successful. I went on a canoe with her once, in 4 feet of water, she was shitting bricks. She prepared herself by bringing a book and basking in the hot summer sun. We did end off the day with a nice run in the speed boat, which she was with me (the other girls weren't with us, just my parents, their friend, who was the father, and my brother). She was quite happy at this point.

Seriously. You seem like a very considerate and intelligent woman who has her head on straight. Men act differently than boys, and I think you are realizing that.
sure I love hangin' with my boys, but not introducing my honey is a serious faux pas. That's just common freakin courtesy - Hey, this is my GF/Honey/Wife/SO/Love of my life Jane. Jane this is my friend Joe.
Hell, maybe its because I've been trained. Maybe its because I have manners. Maybe because I work in the "business world" and know how to behave and understand accepted social graces. Who knows.
Eitherway - his behavior is highly unbecoming of a man. More like a boy.
