Alrighty lads, so let me prephase this by saying that thinking about this shit makes me cringe. I was bluepilled as all fuck and since discovering TRP I've learned so much and began to change my life for the better. Nothing like this would ever happen again. I also apologize for the length, but it's a complicated situation.

Alright, so let's begin. About a year ago me and a few buddies were going out to a bar one night, and at the pre party this girl (probably a HB8, I'm a good looking guy, didn't lift at this time) who i had never met before (let's call her A) took a strong liking to me. We flirted back and forth at the pre, and at the bar we danced, bought each other drinks and made out. We took a cab back to her place (she paid), and I stayed the night, but we didn't fuck.

Like the bluepilled bitch I was, I really quickly caught Oneitus for this girl. A few days/maybe a week later my group of friends and some of her friends go out clubbing again, again we spend most of the night together, dance, makeout, buy drinks and have a decent time. At the end of the night a big group of us go back to this other girl's condo/apartment. At the condo, "A" blows my buddy who was basically KO'd drunk in one of the bedrooms, while me and a bro were ripping some pipe bowls outside. When i realized what had happened, I was pretty pissed. Moreso at my friend than the girl (he knew i liked her, but we weren't exclusive or anything, we had hung out only one time prior, I just had ONEitus). After a few days or whatever, me and my friend worked it out (don't let hoes ruin a friendship).

Here's where I fucked up, HUGE. After a little while passed, I went over to her house to "work it out". After all, in my head she was great cause she was a videogamer, she was hot, and I was looking to get into an LTR as I spent my whole HS career basically smoking weed and playing HS sports. Part of us "working it out" was that I told her that if she ever did ANYTHING with another dude again, or if I had reason to suspect she did, we'd be done. She agreed, and so after seeing each other a few more times we started dating.

She told me she had type 2 herpes. This put me off, but I did some research and after learning that transmission rates if they're taking antivirals is only like 5% per year, the fucking beta faggot in me sucked it up. Around this time, some of my "friends" started calling me a cuck. Not that it was totally unwarranted, I mean I fucking tried to LTR some fucking bar slut who told me she had herpes, and who had blown my friend.

The relationship went okay for a month or two, she was sweet, got me gifts, her mom was nice, whatever. Around Christmas time my family went on a two week trip out of country. On New Year's Eve, my friends went to a party and she was there. I obviously can't confirm and she denied it, but my friends FB messaged me saying she had cheated. The second I saw this, I messaged her and told her we were done. When I got back, I brought her a gift I had bought her while I was away (probably shouldn't have done this) and that was it.

Since then, for the last year, the label of me being a "cuck" has stuck with some of my friends. It's not like they say it all the time, but they'll say it when we're chirping each other, or sometimes they'll tell other people that I'm a cuck. For example, I work with one of said friends, and a few weeks ago he told one of my female coworkers that was previously showing me some IOIs (I wouldn't have chased, im just adding that for context purposes) that I'm a cuck, and told her to look up the definition when she didn't know what it meant. So at this point it isn't a meme anymore, it's literally character assasination.

I don't know what to do lads. In the grand scheme of things, this event will end up being great for my life, as it is exactly what pushed me into taking the Red Pill. However, it also produced a negative side effect, being that I now have a "cuck" label I somehow have to destroy.

I have been lifting for 9 months. Cut back on drinking and smoking to once a month, reading The Rational Male. I'm at the best point I've ever been in my life. I COULD just drop all these friends cold turkey, I just don't know if it's the right strategy. Some of said friends are pretty successful, and others are fucking loser degenerates who aren't in school, don't lift, and don't have a good job. In general the group skews right wing, a few liberals/centrists, but for the most part lots of Ben Shapiro/Gavin McGinnes/Steven Crowder lovers(myself included). I'm better than most of them with girls, and probably top 4 in SMV in the group as well. (Group chat is 12 lads)

What is the best way to remove this label, if there even is a way? Just start fucking fighting em? Drop em as friends cold turkey? Some other method? All help is appreciated bros.
