How to deal with my ex's friends?

My ex dumped me out of the blue by text. He was rude and full of insults. I was shocked and devastated.We dated a year. To top it off he said he "should've dumped me a long time ago". So why did all the mutual friends take his side? I really needed support and everyone cut me off. I have never heard of this happening before. I ran into the ex mutual friends for the first time. It was weird. they didn't even acknowledge me at all. I'm 24. I would love to give these ex mutual friends a piece of my mind. What should I do?

You've found out in a a really painful way that your boyfriend was the wrong guy for you. Anyone who breaks up by text after a year isn't mature enough to be in a long term relationship. What you've also learnt is that like minded people stick together. So his friends aren't mature either and cannot cope with the situation in a grown up way. Don't waste your breath confronting them - they're not going to listen and they're not going to support you. The upside to all of this is that you've dodged a bad boyfriend and his mediocre friends and you're still young enough to move on and get someone much better for you.
