My best (girl) friend is dating my ex, who is also one of my best (male) friends. When they hooked up, my girlfriend took things a bit fast and scared my male friend who told her that she was "pressuring" him and he didn't like it: he dumped her harshly. I was put in the very awkward position of having to console my girlfriend, who wanted to me to participate in bashing my male friend who had treated her so badly. As a good friend, I did what i could to console her and the break up destroyed her: it caused her to treat herself badly (drugs, alcohol, depression). It was really awful to watch. Fastforward a few months: I've told her that she needs to have no contact with this guy because he's toxic for her: she continues to talk to him and now she's going to visit him. I want to respect her rights as an adult but I do not want to have to be put in a position where I have to hear about the drama. Does it make me a bad friend to tell her that i dont want to talk about him with her?
