My boyfriend has a hard time connecting and having close friendships with men. He's always been this way, l've known him for 8 years.

He and I were friends for 8 years before we started dating a month ago.

He has a female best friend who he's known longer than me and who's done a lot for him, he says.

He and his best friend had sex 5 months before we started dating and I'm uncomfortable that they still talk. I'm ok with them being friends, just not right now; when we've only been dating a month. I would like if he stopped talking to her until we've built a strong foundation. Especially since they had sex only 5 months before him and I got together. To be honest it makes me angry that he has a fit when I mention this and says I’m trying to isolate him from his friend, which is not true at all.

Yesterday she talked to him and told him her last two boyfriends had cheated on her and why did he think they might have cheated on her. It made me angry that she's asking my boyfriend for dating advice.

I DIDNT FIND OUT ABOUT THIS UNTIL AFTER WE STARTED DATING

Is it wrong that I feel this way? Should I not care? Am I expecting too much? Thoughts?

TL; DR: My boyfriend of 1 month wants to be best friends with a woman he had sex with 6 months ago.
