Am I being jealous about my boyfriend's friend?

I am in a 7 months relationship with my boyfriend.  I love him so much and does too alot. He even want to marry me. So he has a friend ( a girl) from high school who he reconnected with her from 2018, it 2 years. So he used to talk about her alot on how she was hurt and he doesn't want her get more hurt by guys. The girl has a child with the other guy. I was invited to the birthday party by a friend  and i asked my bf if we will leave together and he said that he will send me the location. I was pissed , to a point that I didn't want to go but I went. When i arrive, i saw the bond the child and him had. He then, introduced me as future Mrs and I laughed. So as the birthday preparations done, he went to the friend's house and came back wearing a white Tshirt. When I arrived her was wearing a green vest. So I asked myself were was this tshirt at, friends room or what? He never entered my room but I entered to his. So I ignored it and act normal. As we about to sing,  the mother of a friend greet the friend's high school and I was asked " and who are you?" It felt awkward and my bf kept quiet. The bond the my boyfriend have in that family made me asked to much questions . So the friend's bf arrived at 4pm and I asked myself why didn't the bf be the one who organised the birthday but not my bf. I wasn't his first priority to him . Even the bf felt uncomfortable around my bf . So ever since that day i felt doubtful of him and I told him how I felt . He even asked to be her friend.

    I can see where the jealousy comes in, but honestly if he’s been friends with this girl since before he knew you, I’d but out. If they wanted to be a couple, I’m sure they would be. My current boyfriend was friends with a girl that I be friended however she backstabbed me and I stopped being friends with her. He asked me if it was okay if he continued being friends with her and I told him , honestly you guys have been friends longer than you have known me so what can I say to that? Soon after he stopped talking to her. Honestly you just need to let it play out .

    You must want to drive him away. If your relationship has a future you have to learn to trust him and trust the process of getting close over time. If you get married and simply focus on being a good partner to him, eventually, his friendship with this other woman will begin to fade into the background.

    However, if you try to push this woman out of his life, he will resent you and think that his feelings and his past do not matter to you. He will see you as a tyrant and a controlling b!tch, and he will never trust that you love him. He will think that you want to love your creation of him.

    Take my advice and leave it alone, or, just go ahead and dump him and find someone who is better suited fro what you want.
