“NTA. Being spineless doesn’t make you an AH. If it didn’t really bother you that your friend was a freeloader who never contributes to anything, you wouldn’t have made that the majority focus of this post. There is a difference between something not bothering you and you not being willing to upset the dynamic by honestly calling your friend out on her BS behavior. I totally understand why you would crack when she adds another freeloader to the mix. I think your friend group needs to start a new rule. Everyone is required to contribute their fair share or they cannot participate.”
“That’s the perfect way to word it, ‘not willing to upset the dynamic’. Because by telling her bf off that’s exactly what I’ve done now like I’ve disrupted the whole ecosystem and split our friend group in two. Maybe I should just take the half that are in support of me and move on lol.”
