This has been bothering me to the point where I can't sleep, so I thought I might as well share. Here's the deal:
There's this girl who is pretty much my best friend (same girl from the prom thread for those of you that responded to that). She's amazing, like I seriously love the girl (not in a relationship way, but in a friend way). Other than my family, there's nobody else I care about more and would do anything for her. We hang out all the time, talk all the time, the whole nine. I couldn't be happier with our situation, but there's one big problem.
My group of guy friends. They don't like her. For the last year, they've been constantly making fun of how close we are and how we hang out all the time. Always making stupid a** cheap shots whenever the oppurtunity comes. Now at first I could deal with that, because I was still cool with all of them and we still hung out. But now, it's gotten 10 times worse. They won't even invite me anywhere anymore. I've heard about so much stuff that they have done that I didn't hear about until they talked about it after. I have no social life with them anymore. It's been at least a month since I last hung out with them. Other than the cheap shot jokes, they're still normal when I talk to them in school, but I'm left out of everything now. It's the worst feeling in the world, knowing that the group of friends you've had for 5, and some of them 10 years are ditching you because of 1 girl you happen to be best friends with, and they happen to not like.
I've been thinking about it for weeks. Do I not hang out with her as much so maybe it'll seem like we're not as close so my guy friends will actually want to hang out with me again, or do I just say screw them and keep doing what I'm doing?
