My thoughts exactly!! Tbh when I told my bf how it made me feel, etc. he apologized, never said anything bad about my friends (even if he maybe wanted to), and also didn’t tell me I needed to choose (although he did say if I was unhappy with him I did not have to stay with him). My friend basically told me that he is a horrible person, has talked to my other friends that don’t live close by, told them HER side of the story, had them try to convince me that I deserve better, and then proceeded to chew me out and try to make me feel small.
