I'm... Confused

[Just...Will]

Bear with me, this is complicated.

My girlfriend and I have been going out for a year. Great relationship, we really got along. A few weeks ago, she just broke off contact. Stopped answering her phone, wouldn't call back, nothing. I couldn't call her parents or friends because...

The relationship was forbidden. A few months ago, I slapped her (we were just fooling around, it wasn't aggressive) and her friends (NOT mine) took it out of context and told her dad, who told her mom, both of whom hate me now, but she kept secretly going out with me.

So she broke off contact, and here I get a call out of the blue from one of those same friends, who hated me from the start of the relationship, telling me that she hates me and has been going out with someone else. They also said that she had to have surgery (I think they said she fell down the stairs) but wouldn't give me any details on that, which I assume is why she broke off contact. But the thing was none of this came from her mouth - they said all of it, supposedly coming from stuff she was writing down. They, through the entire call, were taking turns making fun of me and lying about me.

So the question is: Who should I believe?

Don't believe anything except from what comes out of your girlfriends mouth.

Personally I would have hunted down those bitches and made sure they left me alone.

But dude don't believe them. I would also try being a gentlemen and go to her house to see if everything is ok and straighten things out with her parents. You know "Hi Mr. and Mrs. (insert last name here) I just wanted to come and straighten things out. I know we have differences but what really happened is that we were fooling around when I "slapped her" (DO NOT use air quotes). I care for your daughter to much to hurt her like that."

But also...surgery due to falling down stairs...thats a load of bullshit. I would go over there and see if it was true though regardless if her parents hated me...because at least I show to her and her parents how much I cared for her.

Don't let her parents get in your way of the relationship. If she ever gets surgery, then go in there by her bedside when it is over. If her parents say "no" be like "Mr. and Mrs. (last name here) please...I know we have differences but right now isn't time to settle them. I honest to God care for her a lot otherwise I wouldn't be here."
