Okay, where to begin... well my boyfriend who I have been with officially only 2 months. (We started dating 6 months ago though) has this...friend. We would hang out with him every weekend. I actually have a toothbrush in my purse cause im never sure if I'll wind up sleeping over. Now I haven't minded this at all. But two weeks ago, after getting upset that they his friend wouldn't tell me where they were when I was suppose to be with them when my boyfriend was buying his new car. He said I was having a hissy fit and that I was a manipulative control freak and that I was pathetic. That I wanted Marc all to myself and that I was spoiled... eek I was like, where the ******** did that come from???
Anyway, lots of drama and fighting later. Including breaking up with my boyfriend thinking that it wouldn't work if that's what his friend thought of me. Then us getting back together cause we realized we didn't really care what other people think. Well now I don't really know what is happening. Because 2 weeks later and his friend still thinks that he is right about me. And I am pissed that he could be so arrogant and nasty. BUT I dunno if that is grounds enough to give up on the relationship. After all I'm not dating the arrogant a** hole friend. I am dating Marc. But can a relationship work if you don't get along with the best friend? My first instinct was no and that's why I broke up with Marc but then everyone I talked to said it doesn't matter. Even my friend, who is engaged to this guy's other friend, says she doesn't like him, she just tolerates him for her fiance.
As it is we are all suppose to get together this friday and talk... Marc seems to think that not only will we not change his mind, but that he will be completely brutal and basically verbally attack me. But the way I see it. I will explain myself for whatever he judges me for, I am not walking in there with the goal of changing his mind because I don't care what he thinks. As long as my boyfriend tells me he is wrong, that is all I need to hear.

I would see how the little "talk" goes. If Marc agrees with the friend at all, I'd probably ditch him. But if he sticks up for you, he's definitely a keeper.
...Granted, I'm horrible at relationship advice, so take that with a grain of salt. rofl

A friend that doesn't like you is no reason to give up on the relationship if you're happy together other than that. You'll eventually prove yourself to him if you respect that he needs time with his friends outside of his time with you. If not, then he's just being a douchebag and disregard whatever he says about you.

My husband had a friend who was very jealous of our relationship when we started dating and began treating me poorly. My husband (boyfriend at the time) was not about to let someone treat me like that and told the kid to stop. It helped but didn't entirely fix the situation. I told my husband to feel free to visit with his friend but that I would not be coming along (I don't like this person not just because of how he treated me but because of how he acts in general) He really doesn't interact with this person much if at all anymore, but my husband is not a very social person to begin with.
Basically, I don't think a significant other having a friend that doesn't like you is in and of itself a reason to end a relationship, but personally if my boyfriend was willing to allow their friend verbally abuse me, that WOULD be grounds for a break up.

Well, I fought with his friend via text messages... and I let him know my opinions of him lol. Well eventually the guy says that most of what he said was in anger and he shouldn't have been that harsh but that he still thought I wanted Marc all to myself but that he doesn't hate me or anything. I was like, whatever, the only person who's opinion I care about is Marc. If he ever were to say "gee baby I really want to hang out with the boys tonight." I would not question it for a second and Marc knows that. We all hung out Friday night, including my best friend and her fiance. And Marc and I ended up sleeping over and we all went out for breakfast the next day. I'm still annoyed by this guy, but I can at least enjoy myself when we all hang out. But I'm not exactly sad that that wont be for a while... This is Marc's last weekend in Montreal. He leaves Sunday for an even further base in Ontario and when I see him we will be meeting half way and probably staying with my family.
