How do I choose?

I can’t believe i’m even having to write this, and I hate that my life has come to this.

To make a long story short, my boyfriend and my best friends do not get along at all. They refuse to be in the same room as each other, and it breaks my heart feeling like I have to choose between them.

My best friends are both gay, and I know they would drop everything to help me if I needed it. They are genuinely the best friends a girl could ask for, and i’m always happy when i’m around them.

My boyfriend was raised in a small southern town, and was raised with very conservative republican views, whereas I am actually his complete political opposite.

A lot of you may be wondering how this could even work, but we try to have respectful discussions when it comes to politics, and are really working hard at seeing things from the other person’s point of view.

My boyfriend has made some very distasteful comments about my friends, and I always let him know that those kinds of remarks are never okay, and I won’t let him get away with them. He has said that “there won’t be any gays in my wedding” when i’ve mentioned that my friends will be in my wedding party one day when I get married. His thinking is that my friends are “gay for attention” and he simply just does not believe in people being gay.

My friends constantly tell me that I need to break up with him, that I deserve better, and that our relationship isn’t going to work.

I love my boyfriend, and I can picture a future with him. I want to raise a family with him. He’s not perfect, but neither am I, and we learn to adjust to each other’s idiosyncrasies. But I know that unless my boyfriend and friends can be at least civil with each other, and respect each other, i’ll never be truly happy in this relationship.

How do I choose between my best friends and boyfriend?? 😩
