I (17F) have had my three best friends since freshmen year of high school. We’re seniors now and since we’re all so close I figured we’d still be friends after high school.
I should also mention that my friends really are my only friends.
So here it goes, I’ve been dating my boyfriend for almost 2 years now, we started dating in 10th grade. I love him very much.
However, a couple of my friends don’t like him. They say that I hang out with him too much, if anything my relationship with my boyfriend has suffered because when my friends originally told me that they felt that way, I made sure to hang out with them at least once a week and my boyfriend once every other.
I know this makes my boyfriend a little upset, and I try to explain things to him and he does understand as best he can. Although the biggest issue that my boyfriend and I have talked about is that when we all hang out all together my friends get upset.
Sometimes I’ll invite everyone (including my bf) over to my house. My friends always get upset if we’re watching tv and he puts his arm around me and we cuddle a little. I tried telling them that it’s my house and as long as my parents don’t mind then I can do what I want. I also said that if I was in their house things would be different and I wouldn’t do that because I know it bothers them.
Now suddenly my friends went from hanging out with me at least once a week to making excuses as to why they’re busy, yet I see on social media they’re all together. I confronted them about it and they said it’s because I’m pushing them away because “I’m the only one who plans on going to college and I’m the only one that’s ever had a boyfriend” one of them told me that I’ll make new friends in college so this doesn’t matter anyways.
All of this infuriates me. I’m trying to please my friends and my boyfriend all at once and I know that it’s putting a strain on my relationship with my boyfriend. It seems like no matter what I do I’m losing a little bit of my boyfriend and my friends. The thing that’s really pushing me to keep my friends is that I do have one friend who I’m still super close with, she understands what I’m going through and she still wants me to be apart of the friend group, I just don’t know what to do.
Sorry if my formatting is bad, I’m typing on phone.
TLDR: my only friends pushing me away due to my boyfriend of almost 2 years who I know hasn’t done anything wrong.
