Why is the choice between a long-term friendship and a failed fling a difficult one? There's more to it than this, I suspect.

You did the right thing. If she wanted to get rid of your friends after only three months, it wouldn't have gone well in the long run.

I think you dodge a bullet.

Damn, they really didn't wait long to show their abusive side.

Yep good! Let the trash take itself out. You don't need that shit.

I've been in almost that exact, same boat. if anyone ever forces you to choose, then you don't choose them! a true friend regardless of the relationship will never make you choose. they may disagree, they may speak up about it from time to time, but they will support you in your decisions and be there to catch you if you do fall. and jealousy is always a killer. there is healthy jealousy, and unhealthy. that is a example of unhealthy jealousy handled in an unhealthy way. I truly think you dodged a bullet with your ex. good luck to you! It will get better!

you chose the right option, ❤️ I would've done the same, do t worry hun there will be better choices that understand the importance of life long relationship

this should have been an extremely easy choice but the sex was probably insane

Very good. People who think they have the right to give others ultimatums are most likely toxic and unsure assholes :) I'd done the same!

I am sorry that you're in this predicament but I must ask; is your bestie of 25 years also a female? If so, (and I am not saying it's right, but) your now ex-girlfriend was probably jealous, and believes that "guys and girls can't just be friends."
