You aren't supposed to drop all of your male friends because you have a boyfriend but it sounds like you could be forced to drop them all because you have this boyfriend. I don't totally agree that men and women can't be platonic friends. Attraction happens but can be dealt with in a way that allows you to have friends and a boyfriend.
The problem lies with this man you are dating. He is already controlling where you go and you are giving him up to the minute details. He is now trapping you mentally by saying "I don't want you to go, but go because I need to get over it" which says to me "go but know that I am not happy and I know you want me to be happy". His behavior isn't likely to change. Living with him might take away the freedom you have right now. I would suggest either limit time with him until he fully accepts your friends or leave him. This shouldn't be an either/or choice.
