📝 AITA for distancing myself from my best friend because she’s putting her other friend with my ex?

So, a bit of background: My ex (T) and I were together for a year, and during that time, I was constantly lied to and hurt. It was a really rough relationship, but it’s over now. My best friend (L) knows everything I’ve been through with him, and for some reason, she’s really close with him now, which I find kind of odd, especially considering the history.

A couple of weeks ago, I told L that I still had feelings for T. The same week, I overheard someone say that T was talking to her friend (H). So, I texted a group chat that L is also in and asked if H was still with her boyfriend (J), since she was hanging out with him. L responded, saying no, H liked someone else. Then L texted me privately, saying that H and T were talking. I was confused why she didn’t let me know this sooner, especially after I told her how I felt about T.

The weirdest part is that the next day, I saw L and T talking in the hallway, and I couldn’t help but wonder if they were talking about H. I just feel uncomfortable with her entertaining this relationship between H and my ex, knowing how I feel. I’m not sure if I’m just overreacting, but I don’t think I can keep pretending like everything’s fine when it feels like she’s disregarding my feelings.

So, AITA for distancing myself from my best friend because of this?
