So I’ve known my girlfriends best friend for about 3 years. She was awesome at the beginning of our friendship, but things started to spiral around 6 months into the friendship. She would constantly start drama with me, and get her boyfriend to the point where he would be mad at me for almost nothing. She would make narcissistic comments, talk about how everyone had a crush on her. She always acted better than everyone. She had no respect for anyone other than herself. She has called me every name under the sun, and I sat there and would grin and bear it. I have always apologized first, and apologized for things that I never did in the wrong in the first place. I’d apologize for her mess ups. I’d apologize for her behavior, her words, and her actions. I felt worthless, belittled, berated, and hurt. This was supposed to be someone I could trust.

Zoom forward the July of this year. I met her best friend, and she was the complete opposite of her. Super considerate, kind, and such a bright soul to be around. Positivity just ebbed out of this girl. I fell in love with her, and we immediately clicked. I still have issues with the best friend from the previous writings. She has started talking to this girl, starting problems in our relationship, and stressing out my girlfriend and I, to the point where I get so angry I can’t stop lashing out. Recently I decided to block her, and it was the best decision I have made for my mental health in a long while. I felt like she was creating a divide between me and my girlfriend, and was sending me into semi psychotic episodes. I’m happy I made a choice to leave her out of my life, but my girlfriend seems to be in the middle. I want her to not be in the middle, and realize that this girl has caused huge amounts of stress in my life, but I don’t know how. Any advice?
