Am I her best friend or am I being emotionally manipulated?
A couple weeks ago, we hooked up again which she initiated... then she started dating someone else (not particularly casually). I feel hurt but I am also cognizant of her telling me multiple times that she wasnt ready for a relationship. We still also spend about 400% more time together than she does with her gf. My friends are livid with her adn insist I'm being manipulated and gaslighted. I am confused and hurt and feel stuck. I know the answer is going to be me setting boundaries and also i feel like I am at risk of losing a deep connection - thoughts?
