My boyfriend and I, please help me out?

Emotions don't work like simple logic. You probably SHOULD break up with him because of the turmoil he put you through, but you feel so strongly for him it makes even that notion difficult. I would say the best thing you could do is test him in a simple way. Ask him to be non-exclusive for a short period of time. Say two weeks or so, if you find that he does anything within that time period he wasn't that into you to begin with and is only dating you for the convenience factor. You should ask your friend to work with you as she gave YOU the ultimatum... not the other way around. Tell her you should get together - just the two of you, without the boyfriend.
