📝 AITAH for thinking my friends shouldn't be tight with my ex

CONTEXT: I was in a 2 month relationship with this guy I really liked. It was my first proper relationship, this dude was my first kiss and everything. Btw we're both first year college students. He was a pretty sweet guy -asked me out for Valentine's, always bought me cute gifts, and just treated me right in general. One night I slept over at his place and things were getting a little heated, if you know what I mean. However, I could tell we were heading in the direction of s*x and that's something I just wasn't comfortable with yet. So I straight up told him "hey, I don't wanna have s*x until at least a year of dating." He then proceeded to give me a whole rant about how "s*x was very important to him" and that he "doesn't think he can continue this rship without it." Oh but at least he said he didn't want to pressure me into anything (ignoring the fact that he was basically gonna end it if I didn't f*** him). I knew I couldn't give him that so I was honest about it, and in the next 2 days he broke up with me.

So the problem is a lot of my closest friends are in the same circle as him, and they're all still friends. One girl I was super tight with even said "you didn't deserve that...but he's a horny college student so I get his perspective, I would have done the same." I think this kinda weirded me out, because it feels like she was just "taking his side" or something. On top of that, I found out another one of my close friends already knew that he was planning to break up with me before it actually happened. Maybe he felt it wasn't his place to tell me, I can get that, BUT what doesn't sit right with me is that the same friend offered to find my ex a "new girl" as soon as he said he was gonna break up with me. Like ??? It just pmo that all of my closest friends are acting like besties with him, going to parties with him, posting pictures together...I just feel like if they gave two shits about me they would not be so close with him.
