OK, my boyfriend and I have been going out for almost a year now. I love him very much and he loves me too. The thing is we've been having kind of a rough time lately. We've been getting into a lot of stupid fights but somehow we always make up and stay together. Afterwards I'm glad that I stayed with him because he means everything to me. But over the weekend we got into the worst fight yet and I ended up slapping him. I felt extremely bad and a little shocked at myself afterwards. I told him that I loved him and I was so sorry. That I was just so angry with everything lately. He said he forgives me, but the next night instead of being with me he hung out with 3 of his little girl friends, whom I'm not too fond of. They saw the bruise I had left from me slapping him and they got pissed.
Late that night his little friends decide to instant message me and starts cussing me out. Saying I don't deserve my BF, I'm a self absorbed, stupid, controlling, little pathetic b****, and they hope that them and me never meet again. Among other things that I shall not repeat. I sent my boyfriend the conversation expecting him to be pissed off at them. But no! He doesn't really seem to care that much! He doesn't even want to confront them about it cause they're his best friends! Which really makes me angry. If I say one negative thing about them, or any of his friends, he gets mad but then on the flip side he allows them to talk to me like that! I know I certainly wouldn't like it if one of my friends jumped down my boyfriends throat. I know they were just 'defending' him or whatever, but still they had no right to speak to me that way, ya know?
So, I told him to pick me or his friends that did this, and he says he can't do that. I know it isn't right for me to make him choose but I can't be in a relationship where my own boyfriend won't take up for me and is like best friends, with now enemies of mine. I really do love him but I feel so disappointed and disgusted with him. I know if I leave him I'll be so miserable but I'm unhappy right now. I just don't know what I should do..
Any advice is appreciated.
