I don't know what I should do

Default profile image
I've had a best friend who I've been VERY close to for years. I love her to death. She started dating a guy 6 months ago, and he HATES me. A few weeks ago I made a joke to his friend and he got offended and told me I was a c*nt and a b*tch...over a joke. And she justified it and said I've "been mean". I said sorry and said maybe I have been mean, but I was hurt she let her boyfriend say that about me, then basically AGREED with him. Soon after she lied to me and told me she got a 4.0 GPA, but when she found out she was held back, I still comforted her. Then a few days ago her brother took her phone and pretended to be her (or so she says) and said her and her boyfriend broke up. I said I'm sorry, it's horrible they broke up, she can do much better anyways, etc. Then later she texted me all offended that I said she could do better, and I told her I was just trying to comfort her. She was still mad, so I said next time I'd tell her how much she screwed up instead. Then she told me not to talk to her anymore. I'm really upset that my best friend who I've had for years is being like this, and I don't know if I should let it be, or apologize. I care about our relationship more than my ego, but should I even still be friends with someone who chooses a guy she's known for 6 months over me?? I'm just very confused. Please and thank you to anyone who can help!!!!

Apologize that's the best way to go about this then if she continues this just start ignoring her. She will soon realize what she has been doing and that she's lost a good friend. Also, don't be mean about it. I wish you the best of luck(:

Hey there, Your friendship is always going to be more important in the grand scheme of things than a guy your friend has known for six months. The problem is, she just doesn't know it yet. Boyfriends can seem like a huge deal at the time especially if it's a first love or a first proper relationship. But more often than not, things change and people move on and the friend who has been 'out of action' because they've been in a relationship will come back to you when she realizes she was wrong. What can you do in the meantime? Well, if you decide that this friend is worth holding on to (you say you've been friends for years, so I'm going to assume that you do) then your best bet is to be there for her, but from a distance. Be the bigger person - that means don't get into petty arguments, and try not to get involved in their relationship at any level. Hang out with friends from another group, so that you have your own life and your own interests and so that you can keep growing and developing as a young adult. Make it clear to your freind that you're still around for her but that you also have other things going on in your life. Above all, don't let this cause drama in your life and don't let it get you down! Keep your chin up, things will get better. Who knows, maybe soon you'll be the one with the new boyfriend.
