My son is 6 weeks old and being a father has been great, but actually becoming a father was hell, and it was all because of her best friend. My girlfriend has been bestfriends with her since middle school, so I understand the close bond, but this is someone that has been toxic time after time again. Ever since I've been dating my girlfriend, she has not liked me. Not to mention she is a toxic person. It only got worse when my girlfriend got pregnant & 2 weeks before our son was born, I told my girlfriend how I felt about her bestfriend & my girlfriend told her bestfriend. I didn't mind that she told her, because I had valid points on how I felt, but it's what her bestfriend did after that is mindboggling.
Literally 3 days before my son was born, her best friend accused me of cheating all because I went to a club. Now I don't go clubbing as often as I used to, but this time I was not in that club to party. When I left the house, I told my girlfriend that I was going to the store, and I did that, but then I recieved a call from my friend that he lost his wallet at a club so I went to go help him look for it. I didn't even know she saw me there because I think I stayed there for 15-20 minutes. We ended up finding the wallet, and I went home. Next morning, my girlfiriend wakes me up showing me text messages from her bestfriend with pictures that I was at the club & text messages accusing me of kissing other girls, leaving with one, being dishonest, etc. I've never been more flabbergasted.
Girlfriend goes into labor and I was 1 of her support people, but you could just tell she was disgusted with me, and it was an awful feeling. Her friend even has the audacity to tell the nurses & doctors that I cheated. Although a beautiful experience, it was ruined due to to someone's pettiness. About 1 week later, her friend admitted to lying and my girlfriend dropped her but now they are friends again. This is someone who has slandered my name time after time and hurts me even if it means hurting her own bestfriend. I feel very uncomfortable with the fact that they are friends again after everything that happened & I'm thinking about what I want to do.
