Sharing drinks with friends
So am I just wrong for feeling this way? So I have a bf and I have this rule that I follow and it has to do with sharing drinks with friends. I refuse to share any drinks with friends unless I have my own straw or something because if I share a drink with any of them I feel like that would be slightly cheating on my bf. But I've noticed a lot of times that he will do the opposite. He will share any drinks with any friends and it's been making me kinda uneasy with it. And idk if the way how I feel is just over dramatic or anything. Pls tell me if it's not that big of a deal because I really want to believe that.

I think it is quite normal to drink your own drink from your own cup with your own straw. This way you can feel good and prevent any germs from spreading (varying from "just a flu" to e.g. bacteria responsible for stomach illnesses). Besides, you never know what is in somebody's else drinks (may it be alcohol, drugs, or medications).
There is a stupid tradition of drinking vodka from the same glass in some regions of my country, but I know at least one person who was infected with herpes virus on his lips from someone else by drinking this way.

Hi there. I’d say it’s perfectly understandable you don’t want to share drinks. If that’s your decision and feels right to you, I’d say so and stick with this.

The not sharing drinks to avoid germs /illness is understandable if you main reason is you think is is cheating i do not understand that connection as that seems a bit overboard.
If your BF does this do you feel he is cheating on you? Have you talked to him about it if that is how you feel?
I have told him about it but we both kinda just left it alone because when I was talking to him about it and how I felt I did also tell him that I wasn't a big deal because I thought what I was feeling was just not a big deal and I shouldn't be overthinking it too much.
