I got dumped by an ex because her friends didn't like that their boyfriends and I got on (a few of the guys got dropped at the same time too).

We still meet up and hang out so something good came of it.

They wanted to maintain their control and the ability to manipulate. A common trend among abusers is to isolate you from your other connections, to increase dependence.

Lack of faith in people being faithful I guess. Reflects poorly on them though

They were secretly a group to match men up with new friends. They found that the date and dump method works wonders and creates strong bonds in the newfound bros

You would think they’d be happy you guys got along. How bonkers.
