AITA for pushing my best friend of 3 years

My best friend we will call her mop head for sake of identity. Me and mop head were best friends for 3 years but ever since I got a boyfriend. We will call him handsome squidward because why not. So me and handsome squidward got together 3 weeks ago our relationship is going great. Mop head has been acting weird around handsome squidward. She giggles and twirls her hair and wears really short skirts and crop tops that look like bras because of how short they are EVREY time she knows he’s coming. She also haas admitted to kinda liking him but I’m not nervous about it or insecure because I know my boyfriend is loyal. It just gets very annoying seeing her act like that around MY boyfriend. One day she was touching all over him and trying to sit on his lap my boyfriend was clearly uncomfortable so I walked to mop head and told her to get off my boyfriend and pushed her off and now the whole friend group hates me. So AITA

Hi! I think that mop is probably quite insecure about her best friend being in a relationship and jealous, what she’s doing is unkind regardless of how serious your relationship is but she might not see anything in it since you’ve only been together for three weeks. I would try to communicate this with your boyfriend, and maybe distance the two if possible (meet up with just him or whatever, unless your all at school together which I appreciate is harder). Best of luck!

Thank for the advice <3
You mean your ex-best friend, right?
Nobody who tries to break up their best friend's relationship (which is essentially what she's doing here) retains the privilege of still being called a best friend.
