Look hun (from experience) freinds come and go. The ones who stay will support you whatever you decide to do and be life long mates. They will not judge you for getting back with babies daddy, but will support you.
I remember when I was little my mothers freinds talked my mum into leaving my dad, they loved the drama and the gossip. But after time mum realised it wasn't what she wanted and came home. What I mean to say is sometimes freinds don't really have your best interests at heart.
He didn't really cheat, you are both very young and having a bubba is a massive deal, (even when your old and wrinkly like me
). If you feel you want to be with him and he feels the same there is nothing to lose from giving it a go is there? But you need to learn to be strong and independent, become unphased by others and decide for you what you want. Don't pussy foot through life hun, tiptoeing around others. Bulldoze through and get what YOU want. (and that means from him too, tell him this behaviour is unacceptable and you won't put up with it)
Good luck to you, whatever you decide
