Input: Me and my buddy, lets call him "Nick" have been great pals for the past 2 years. We were buddies as kids but recently reconnected in a group of mutual friends and have been great friends since. He is more than a friend to me, time and time again when I need it he's here to talk, hangout or whatever. The world doesn't deserve a guy as nice as him. Honestly he could shoot me in the foot and I'd forgive him no problem, but recent events are really screwing with my head and I don't know how I'm supposed to feel anymore. I'll get right into it. 

As I stated earlier we reunited thanks to a mutual group of friends. Nick was friends with this group nearly his entire life and I have been friends with them for roughly 2 years when this all took place. I started to notice that some people in the group really weren't being all that nice to me, in fact it was pretty bad. I'd constantly hear about cruel things they said about me behind my back, to give an example of this 2 days after my grandmother passed away I wanted to hangout with one of my good friends. This friend was at a party and did not have an issue with leaving early to see me. Some individuals despite knowing what happened 2 days ago laid into me hard while I wasn't even there to defend myself, saying "its always gotta be a problem with this kid" despite the fact that there was no problem. My house rules were disrespected. anytime I needed support or help I was met with "that isn't my problem", yet they had no issues coming to me when they needed help. That was really a miniscule fraction of the shenanigans I put up with. It started to have a bad effect on my mental health so I decided it would be best to leave the group.

I did exactly that, silently. Despite this my leave was followed up with some more harsh trash talk and I thought it'd all be over. Here is where it gets cruel. After I left I was mocked pretty relentlessly to my friends still in the chat by the individuals who originally didn't treat me too well. This is where nick took a small stand and said that they were in fact bad friends, that didn't really have any effect but it was appreciated of course. I was snapchatted by one of the boys where he went on to say I have a "Napoleon complex" and "its no wonder all of your old friends left you" among other things. My only retaliation was calling him "a follower". This boy then went on to lie to others about what I said in an attempt to manipulate my remaining friends into thinking I was a bad person. Sadly, it worked, he sent it to my college roommate. That roommate then went on to actively make my life absolute hell at the college to the point where I was scared enough to go to the police. He actually could've gotten expelled, but I decided not to do that as ruining someone's future was a tad harsh. This roommate is in the friend group.

After all of this happened I learned that nick was still talking to all of them as if nothing happened. I was a tad hurt, as how could one of my best friends just sit by and watch me get harassed without saying anything. I called him up and told him how I felt. Never did I say I would stop being his friend if he remained friends with them, nor did I try to control his choice in remaining their friends. I only told him how it made me feel, like shit. Being the great guy he is he understood to the point where he was overcome with guilt from his lack of action that he got really upset. Of his own accord he stopped contact with them, told me he did not wish to remain friends with them after how they treated me and was ready to move on. All was hunkey dorey for a while.

That was until I found out that nick was still texting and talking to them, with plans to meetup, talk and hangout. Nick claims he forgot why he was mad at them in the first place. Now I still adamantly believe that it'd be pretty fucked up of me to force him to pick between friends, I wouldn't want to put anyone in that position, it isn't fair. But... even so, I just cant get over the fact that he's still able to remain their friends after what they did to me. Call it selfish or whatever you want, but after hearing that news I just cannot bring myself to have the same respect for him I once did. I don't even want to see him anymore if I'm being honest. I don't know why, I thought id be able to live with it if he remained their friend but now I'm not so sure. It isn't even as if I'm reacting like this to spite him or to prove a point, if I could make myself not be upset at this I would. But I cannot bring myself to look at him the same.

I'm not really sure what to do yet. I know it may seem childish to most but Nick is a special person to me. In the two years I've known him we have grown close and I don't want to end anything, but I just cant bring myself to look at him the same.

stopping being friends with my buddy for being friends with people who treated me cruelly
