Input: I don't believe in exclusive relationships. I don't think love should restrict people in any way, and I think people should be free to express love to anyone and not reserve it for one person. I've been in a wonderful open relationship for quite some time now. (Let's call her Ava) Neither of us have ever even pursued other people outside our relationship, and neither of us plan to, but we like the idea of having the freedom to do so if we chose.

Admittedly, I don't think Ava shared my belief originally, but after I told her what I felt she came around to agreeing with me. Ever since, we've been in a great relationship with practically no problems. Once she told me she was anxious that a female friend I was hanging out with would "steal" me, so I cut ties with the friend pretty quick because I don't want to worry her.

Ava has two friends she sees every day. We're cool with each other. We often hang out just the four of us, but I'm newest to the group. Every day when I'm not there, those two friends roast Ava for being in a relationship with me. They tell her that I'm using her, I don't really love her, etc. They literally call me a crackhead when I'm not around. It got to the point where Ava said that I'm almost all they talk about anymore. I was cool with it because I knew Ava knew those things weren't true. We figure they're either uncomfortable with our open relationship or jealous, because they've been single their whole lives. The thing is though, they're both cool people. I get that they're doing this because they think they're protecting her.

A couple hours ago, I went to see Ava and she was visibly troubled and sad. She told me that they really roasted her more than normal today, and one of them said "This isn't really a roast, you just think it is because you know we're right." Apparently that got to her, and she told me that she's anxious about our relationship now. The whole night we kept saying that we were content with our situation, we loved each other, and we didn't want to end things, but she was still troubled after what her friends said. Against my beliefs, I agreed to be in an exclusive relationship with her because I knew it'd make her feel better.

Later I realized that the whole thing was spurred by these two friends. Basically, I had to surrender a belief I held highly because they got in her head. I wanted to go to their houses and ask them to stop harassing Ava about us, direct and honest, but I figured I'd wait a day to clear my head. I don't want to tell Ava about it because I know she'll tell me not to, then I'd have to go against her wishes. Tomorrow I'm probably going to talk to them, WIBTA?

TL;DR: My significant other's friends harass her about our happy open relationship. This made her anxious, so I had to change to an exclusive relationship, which I don't believe in. I want to confront them and tell them to stay in their lane.
