I (20f) have been with my boyfriend (20m) for 10 months. He introduced me to his friend, Emma, (20f) very early into our relationship and we clicked instantly. She and I have become close friends, and we have developed a relationship where we talk and hang out pretty frequently. Last night, Emma and I planned to go out for a girl's night, but my boyfriend insisted he and our other friend tag along too. When out, Emma and I sat next to each other, went to the bathroom together, and were physically affectionate with one another (linking arms, hugging, leaning on one another, etc.). My boyfriend continuously expressed his dislike of this last night. He made faces, kicked me under the table, and sent messages telling me to stop. When we finally left the restaurant, I snapped and told him to not touch me and that I was tired of dealing with the same BS. Of course, he continued to try to put his arm around me and kiss me as we all walked around town. When I shrugged him off, he mumbled "unbelievable" under his breath, and I went right back at him calling him a dickhead (yes, ik I'm TA for this and did apologize later on). He stormed off, and Emma went after him to try to calm him down. When he finally came back, we talked and he told me he was uncomfortable with how Emma and I interacted and he wanted me to stop. I refused, saying I'm sick of him making his emotions my responsibility. Emma agrees with me on this and also thinks he's being unreasonable. So, all of that being said, AITA?

EDIT: A few people have commented about me hiding the fact that Emma and I are both bi in the comments. I originally didn't include that since we are both in serious relationships and even if we weren't it would still be strictly platonic. also, PSA: being bi doesn't mean I'm attracted to everyone, including my friends. I would not be with my bf if I was having romantic feelings towards anyone else.
