Bring made to choose 😔

Hi ,
Advise on this matter would be appreciated.
My partner of 2 years hates with a passion my friend of 12 years.
Reason for his dislike are her not always having my back and on occasion screwing me over as he sees it .
Also I have mentioned to him things that have happened that cloud his judgment as in days gone by she has been single and enjoyed a vast amount of no strings fun .
Totally fine in my view and I’d never judge her for it .
Any time I arrange to see her my bf makes me life hell and basically forces me to choose by being verbally horrible about her and saying I’m not being loyal by picking her over him .
It’s a war he says as she’s hell bent on coming between us . Crazy thing to say as the insecurities and issues are his not hers or mine .
I’d never dream of telling him who he can and can’t see based on my opinion of them
In a bit shell if I go out with her before Xmas then I’ve ruined Xmas and made my choice
I will not be dictated to and said I’m going out and he should grow the hell up and stop acting like a child .
He can’t believe that given we’ve argued before about her why I’d agree to see her again and so close to Xmas .
Feel like I’m losing my mind as he’s very good st turning this around on me .
What should I do and is this relationship even worth continuing with if this is how it’s going to be going forward .

My ex never liked any more recent friends of mine, especially if they were single. He’d never say it though directly, but he made it clear in his actions he was insecure due to that Reason. Your dp is being controlling.

Get him gone!

But don't accept shit treatment from the friend either.

Well from your op I was going to say they both sound poor but perhaps your DF had a reason. My DH doesn't like one of my friends who has been a bit self centred when I needed her. BUT then I read the rest. Yeah your friend is a dick but your DF is vile, as others have pointed out, and I'm relieved you've decided to dump him. Please stick to it, he sounds abusive.
