Would you cut off your male besties for your Boyfriend?
I've known my now exboyfriend for 5 years but we were in a serious relationship for 1 year. He gave me an ultimatum. It was either him or my 2 close friends who happen to be male. I have female friends too but they're closest to me. I've known them for about 7 years. I've never had sex, kissed, and I barely even hug my male besties. They've helped me through really difficult times and we always look out for each other.
Due to conflicting schedules I barely see them and we talk on the phone at most every few days. They were supportive and respected my relationship.
I really loved my bf and I did actually see us getting married and having children and sharing our lives together forever. This ultimatum had me torn. I would've never asked that of him from his female friends unless they had some sort of unhealthy relationship or sexual past.
My bf also went through my Instagram business nail page and made me tell him who all the males were who I followed. They were mostly family, friends, ex co-workers and internet friends I've never met. I wanted to compromise but he refused and made me choose between him or my friends. *Real life not IG
I chose my friends. I told him I felt like the relationship was becoming toxic and controlling. He told me I'm the toxic and controlling one. Now we are broken up and I'm every whore in the book. He says those weren't my friends but my boyfriends and all my male Instagram followers look like my pimp. Even after that I wouldn't call him out his name. I still have feelings for him and alot of respect. I wish we could've ended better.
Was I wrong for choosing my platontic friends over my BF?
