I don't think you understand what it means to compromise. If you're asking him to stop spending time with his long-term friends then you're the one who should compromise and let it slide cause those people have been around him for longer than you've been and you are being looked as a 3rd party. It's controlling and demeaning if you insist on him hanging only with you.
If his friends are new however (met them around the same time you started dating), then you're somewhat right in asking him what's the big deal.
As for the selfish part... It's the complete opposite, you would be considered selfish because you only want him for yourself and want him to basically take a few steps back from his friends in order for you to feel better. No sane person would come to terms with that so you'd basically be digging your own grave.
I say either learn to deal with it or find yourself some new friends you can hang out with on your own. Or, break the relationship cause if you keep nagging about it it will crumble on its own sooner rather than later.
