It's easy to get into relationships. We start knowing little about the person and ourselves and learn as we go. It's like two strings, along perfectly straight and simple, then they meet and start to run side by side. Eventually the two (or more) strings will begin to tangle. Sometimes they form intricate tapestries, and other times a puzzling ball of yarn. Tinkering with a poly household is inviting new strings, which increase the likelihood of a devastating tangle which is only solved with scissors or years of leisure time. Spending time with someone, and inevitably connecting well on so many points keeps us coming back. Whether we see the tangle coming, we keep coming back. And even when we know its time to cut the string, because its best for everyone (or someone)... it hurts. Cutting always hurts. It feels like a lose-lose situation at first. Eventually, once the pain deadens (or one acclimates to its constant presence) you can look back at the good bits and be happy, knowing you've done the best you can do for the future. In regards your friends, anyone who blames you for being yourself is no friend. It seems like your actions are not the unforgivable sort, though I don't know the specifics. A reasonable friend makes the effort to forgive the forgivable, and move on with what's left.
