Should I break up with her?

I have been dating this girl for about a year and a half. She has been nothing but good to me and I care for her a lot, but my friends hate her and avoid me now because of it. I cannot do anything with my friends and her at the same time because they don't like being around her. Like I said, she has been nothing but good to me, but the one thing that I really hate is that she can be extremely disrespectful to others. She doesn't care what other people think, which is a good thing, but if anybody does something she doesn't like, she is sure to let them know, and many people hate her for that.

I don't know what to do. She is good to me, and I care deeply for her, but sometimes the way she treats others almost embarrasses me and alienates me from my friends. What should I do?

    If she's great to you and you care about her a lot, why do you care what other people think?

    If they were really your friends, they would respect your decision to be with that girl and let you make time for her AND them, separately. If they're being awkward about it and avoiding you, it's just childish.

    I have been with my boyfriend for a long time. I've lost a lot of friends because they got jealous and disliked him, but I don't care. He's the love of my life, and by ditching me it just showed me how childish and immature they really were, and your better off without people like that.

    I know a couple of people like this; they tell you like it is without caring how you feel about it. Many people do not like to hear the truth - plain a simple. But with these people they grew to understand that there is a line you don't cross and I feel maybe she needs to figure out this line as well. She seems to not care that she is alienating herself but she should care if she has true feelings for you.

    Here's my suggestion based off experience with others and just relationships in general. Talk to her. Communication is key right? Tell her how you feel, that you want to be with her because of how good she is to you and that you have deep feelings for her but you've noticed that you're friends do not want to be around when she's around. Tell her you care for her and your friends and you want the two to get along. I mean just be honest. If she can tell everyone "how it is" then that's the way you'll have to be towards her about this. If she can't take it she's a hypocrite. But if she understands your feelings, wants to be with you, and wants this to work out then she can at least compromise on holding her tongue more so she isn't pushing everyone away.

    In short, sit her down and talk to her about everything going on. Never forget to remind her how important she is to you but how important your friends are too. If she's understanding and tries to work it out, she's a keeper, if she refuses to change at least slightly and has to much pride that she can't compromise with her partner then end it.

    If it goes well with her then try to sit your friends down in a group, with or without her, and talk it all out. Tell them she's important to you and that your friends are too. You'll have to be the one to settle all of this through being adults, talking it all out, and trying to meet a middle ground of some sort so everyone gets along. It'll be hard for some who hold deeper grudges and dislikings but they shall eventually get over it. If not, maybe you should let them go too. Given your girlfriend listens and aims to change for the sake of your relationship and the relationship between you and your friends.

    You should decide.. Who do you want more? Her or your friends?

    Also, if you love her enough, you wouldn't question breaking up with her or not..
