So confused

I’ve know my current boyfriend for about a year now, we got introduced by one of his friends I use to work with. I use to go on dates and hang out with the friend but it was never anything serious this happened for about 2 months. Well at the end of last year me and my current boyfriend reconnected and we figured out that we actually had feelings for each other so he was the one that initiated we should officially date. We were both kind of skeptical at first since I met him through the friend but we knew that if there was any problems between them then we would work on it together. His friend eventually found out that we were together and they were able to talk it out and continue on with their lives. Fast forward to now, I recently found out that even though him and his friend worked it out, all the other friends in that group of friends have a problem with us dating, it’s been six months and I’m barely hearing about this, and I also don’t know any of his other friends. So my now ex boyfriend basically told me he wanted to fix his friends relationships before we can get back together. I’m a little dumbfounded on how he could pick his friends over me, I get it he’s been friends with them for awhile and we’ve barely been dating for THAT long. If they had the issue before what makes him think he friends will be so quick to forgive him if they don’t talk to him now?
