A little heads up, I’m typing this on my phone, sorry in advance!
My girlfriend and I have been together for a year and a half, and we work together. I also work with my friends who I’ve known for about a decade at this point. Long story short, one of my friends takes up an issue with my girlfriend’s interactions with my boss, and her work ethic and essentially called her a whore piece of shit. Cue to the ensuing drama, eventually everyone tries to move past it all. Recently that same friend did the same thing, while another one of my friends brought the fight into the group chat we all have where I proceeded to get dogpiled by 3 of the closest people in my life, saying awful things to me in the heat of the moment. My girlfriend then made me choose, them or her, and I chose her. I’ve been torn up about this for about a month or two now. Today, one of the friends reached out to me hoping to talk, and I told her about it. Essentially all I wanted was for him to apologize, but it escalated into a fight between me and my girlfriend because she’s saying she doesn’t want someone in her life who’s willing to hear someone out who has said awful things about both of us. I really want there to be a potential future for everyone to get along but she does not. Is there any hope for that? Am I awful? What do I do?
