To refuse to see her on New Years?

I lived in a flatshare with three friends. I did something a year ago which upset two of them. Granted, it was a huge mistake on my part, and I tried to rectify the situation without success. A month ago they suggested it would be better if I found somewhere else to live because our friendship has broken down due to my mistake. I agreed and moved out.

I have another friend, let's call her Amy. Me and Amy were very close. However she has chosen to move into my old flat with my previous three friends. I feel like this is a huge betrayal and I no longer feel welcome in that flat. I know I caused the mistake originally but I would have expected Amy to be loyal to me and not move in with the people who kicked me out. I have expressed this to Amy and she says she had a right to move into my old room because she was getting away from an unsafe living situation.

Amy and I have another friend, Meg, who is flying over from Aus to spend Christmas and NYE with all of us. I have made it clear that I am happy to spend time in a group with Amy and be civil, but I do not want to spend NYE with her. I am hurt by what she has done and I have made it clear that I want to spend NYE with Meg. Amy is obviously not happy with this and thinks we should bury the hatchet for Meg's sake and all spend NYE together, but I can't get over the fact that I feel so betrayed.

AIBU to refuse to spend NYE with Amy and insist that she takes a step back so me and Meg can spend NYE together?

I can see why you were kicked out. While I do understand how you feel about Amy it's impossible to know who's BU about the moving in but in regard to NYE YABVU. Yes it's ok if you don't want to spend it with Amy in which case you should tell Meg you can't go. It's not down to you to tell Meg who she can see based on your feelings, Meg has no beef with Amy.

Are the other two called Jo and Beth?

You screwed up and caused the problems, but you're making Amy pay the price for it repeatedly.

Thank you for all your replies.

My mistake was that I was seeing a guy who did something sh*tty and kept inviting him round to our flat even though my flatmates were uncomfortable and expressed that they did not want him in the house (for legitimate reason). I realise now that this was wrong.

Noted that maybe I need to get over it for NYE but I feel incredibly ganged up on and I'm upset that Amy is siding with my old flatmates. She could've chosen to live anywhere but instead has chosen to live with them. Is that not unfair on me?

It's not unfair on you, no - it's nothing to do with you where she lives.

Enjoy your NYE and be careful you don't lose any more friends.
