If it helps, I ended my relationship after “discussion” of a published article I found interesting. Can't even remember what it was on anymore. He would state something completely wrong, I would go “well, no, because…” and explain. And instead of, you know, understanding, he would jump to the completely opposite point of view because I guess he figured that one must be right then. It wasn't. Obviously.
My dad calls it someone else “trying to think with my brain”. I think that's accurate.
It took me some weeks after that discussion but I was done. I can absolutely respect, befriend and enjoy company of stupid people. But I know myself now. I cannot date them.
I get that. My husband does have one or two really close friends and a larger friend group. I don't know if they really talk the way he talks to me. Probably not.
You seem ok with her sleeping with someone else but not your best friend.
I think it is perfectly acceptable to go back to her and say exactly that.
The other thing is your best friend appears not that interested either.
