AITA for being friends with my ex? I (18F) and my ex (17M) have been on and off friends for the past 2 years (since 2023) we dated for a little more than a month and throughout our whole relationship my best friend (18F) would hang out with us. Our relationship wasn't a bad one and there wasn't any toxic things happening, he was my first time, met my parents, and has been the only one who's introduced me to his parents. I'm the one who ended things just because even though everything was going well I couldn't spend every second of my day calling him or texting him. We dated when I was 16 & he was 15 turning 16. Fast forward to a couple months later and I'm moving so I tell him to make sure that she is good, they start being friends again and life moves on. Since then we've stopped being friends with him at time and have had "drama" with him on and off. These last 2-3 months he's had a girlfriend (19F) but this last month is when we became friends with him again. His girlfriend doesn't go to our school but she has friends and he found out they've been telling his girlfriend about the three of us hanging out and yesterday during 4th hour someone had taken a picture and now him and his girlfriend are going through a rough time. She thinks we did something or that he still loves me even though he swears he doesn't and I really don't like him. I don't want people to think I'm a home wrecker either and I can tell people are starting to get ideas that me and him might be more. I'd also like to tell her that we're just friends but I think that she has a point, if I was in her place I really wouldn't want my boyfriend to be friends with his ex and I don't think she'd really like it if I messaged her. I want to know how to distance myself away a bit without ruining his and my best friends friendship.
