Friends vs. Girlfriend

My girlfriend and i are so happy together. We love each other to death. I mean..LOVE. She is the first person that i have a strong connection with and our love grows stronger everyday. There's just one problem---I'm caught in the middle of an invisible war.

My friends (long time ago) almost broke us up because they were telling us false things about each other (example: "We saw her with some guy", "He was holding hands with his ex", "She was flirting with that guy!", "He spends more time with you than he does with us!"). Which is one reason why i dislike them. I mean they were there for me just to talk nothing more, and you know what, i didn't think i meant that much to them. Now that i have found someone who i am very happy with and can trust..i thought they would be happy for me.

But nooo..

They act like little b**ches wanting to see more of me. Sure, yeah i miss them but I am just happy with life right now. They don't see it at all. My girlfriend hates me being around them because they talk about her behind her back. While they hate her for "stealing me" away from them.
What am i suppose to do? I can't go to them and say "hey i want to be with her right now and i want yall to leave us alone" because they were once there for me when i had no one. But I can't tell my girl "Hey they are still my friends" or something. They hate each other while i am stuck in the middle. What can i do in this situation?
Do you think it's normal?

Have you ever heard the saying " Misery needs company". Well I take it that all of your friends must be single. Your friends may be a little jealous because you have something that they might want. Before you all were probably the same one circle of friends. If they were "real" friends they should respect and accept your new relationship no matter how hard it is.

They don't have 2 "like" your girlfriend, but they should respect her. Relationships and friendships are important in life. But shouldn't be so stressful. I would concentrate on what makes me happy.
I would like share my favorite phrase:

TL;DR

Which stands for "Too Long; Didn't read."

Feel free to use it where appropriate.
You have to think of what would happen if you and her broke up. Would you want them to be there for you and still be good friends afterwards, or would you want not to have anymore friends OR a girlfriend?
A common phrase is "Bro's before hoes." It is a good phrase, especially at your age (I'm assuming you are in H.S.).
Just try to find a good balance between hanging out with all of them.
hate stories like this .... RETART... u need friends ... and when u go to them crying like a pussy that ur alone ... well their gona slap u and tell u to fuck off ... remmeber nothing last forever ... espicially what we call the "honeymoon" time in a realitonship
SEMI-COLON!

OH! THE IMPROPER USE!
You could be with this girl all your life, you never know.
I say you deal with this the best way, and that is telling the truth. Tell your friends you really love her and you would like their respect for your relationship.

I donīt think you should choose between your lonely friends and your girl.

Besides, real friends wonīt stop being friends just like that.
What do you want your GF or your friends. You and her need to stand up foe each other if you want things to work.
Not really........You cant have both so man up and pick a dam side...life is a b!tch I know
