Right now from what I've read, it seems like you're ditching your friends and ignoring them for this ONE guy. You need to rethink about what you're doing and put yourself in your friend's perspective. Would you like it if your best friend ignored you and only hung onto her boyfriend?
And I understand why your friends would get offended. It may seem like to them that you're ONLY hanging out with them because your boyfriend is unavailiable so you have no other choice but to hang out with them.
Instead of explaining and coming up with excuses, I suggest that you apologize to your friends and have a big sleepover or something like that. Even if that's a little too childish for you guys. Start paying a little bit more attention to what's going on outside of your relationship with your boyfriend. CUT DOWN on the time you spend with your BOYFRIEND. You're really hurting your friendship and there is a big chance that you and your boyfriend won't last more than 4 years...and by then you will have no one to talk to or such because you completly shut out your friends [ ductape_n_roses's advice column | Ask ductape_n_roses A Question ]

i did this too.. my friends treated me badly. i made some new ones that understood that my boyfriend was like my best friend.. so i hung out with him a lot more.
i think you need at least one chick best friend though. someone you can also tell things to.. so if something goes between you and your boyfriend.. you can have someone there for you.
sadly i did not do that.. and i was a big mess for a long time.
or i guess you could just forget about them. but if you are constantly with your boyfriend.. maybe they want to spend some time with you too?
it's all up to you.. to drop those friends or make some new ones.
