Did you dump your friends or did they dump you b/c of the girl?

As previously mentioned, never let a girl come b/t you and your friends (unless it is your wife-- and even then there is still a limit). Even though you gave a well-written account of your story, I am still detached from the situation and cannot possibly understand all your feelings toward your girlfriend. But what I would do personally at this point is make one last attempt (and I do meanONE last attempt to straighten things out with her. Spill it all out. Arrange a time when you and her are TOTALLY alone with no distractions and discuss this. Whatever you do, whether you end up breaking up with her or staying together, don't let it becme a time of argument. Keep your cool and be "adults" about the situation. Be totally honest and communicate with her your feelings, remember examples of situations you want to talk to her about. GIve her a chance to talk and LISTEN to her. Make this your last attempt and if it doesnt work out, I'd break off the relationship. That way you are totally in the clear and have pre-exonerated yourself from any possible future guilt or regrets.

Remember, you guys are not married so you don't have to necessarily make it "work out". There's plenty other women out there for you man and if the girl you are with right now isn't the one, then you'll find her, or she'll find you.

God bless...
