If your S/O is uncomfortable with you being friends with someone same gender as him/her, would you break off friendship and ties with person for sake of your relationship?

Been there, done that before. Long story short, for me it was just the beginning of little manipulations, guiltings over how much he did for me, how ungrateful and a "bad girlfriend" I was being. Escalating little at a time, to the point that - I kid you not - he was "jealous" and "uncomfortable" with me having a balding, 50+ year old fat Jewish man as my academic advisor in college.

Nowadays, FUCK. ALL. THAT. I say don't put up with one OUNCE of jealousy. Envy is one thing and can be worked through, and many tend to use "jealousy" when they mean envy. Actual jealousy is another matter entirely, because it's one based explicitly on lack of trust and insecurity.

If you've not been together long, talk out boundaries and what is reasonable/unreasonable and why. If you're feeling real jealousy, then there's a communication/trust problem and you may need to GTFO (and also you may need to work on your own personal insecurities). If the SO is making make or break demands over your friends, IMO that's also a GTFO situation, but others may disagree.
