Is NOBODY wrong in the post ? POST : Throwaway account!
I'm sorry about the title sounding bad, but please hear me out!

I've been friends (now ex-friends) with this guy, we'll call him Dean, for about 2-3 years until it happened. We got to know each other because of a mutual friend of a common interest. He was great! We hit it off and we have a lot in common. We would play videogames together and other stuff. It came to the point where we would have inside jokes with each other and stay up all night talking about memes or what not. Well, I've been getting hints here and there that apparently Dean has a crush on me (at the time) and was a bit worried because I don't see him that way, only as a big bro (he's 5 years older than me). Some months go by and it's valentines, he confessed to me. I let him down gently and talked about how I hope to not lose him as a friend because he's fun to be around and he is like an older bro. He said sure and stayed friends for a bit or so I thought. He started to distance himself and talked less. Later he told me he couldn't handle being around me anymore. It broke my heart that I was losing a dear friend and fought for him to stay. (Selfish I know, but he was part of our friend group that I'd hate to tear apart).

Almost a year go by and I thought his feelings for me faded and things are normal again. I met my then boyfriend (ex now) at the time, and I was pretty open with him to the friend group. Dean met him and we spent time together as a group along with other friends. Though he started becoming a jerk, he's treating my ex like a threat and would always make him feel out of place. After awhile, I heard from our mutual friend that Dean told them that he plans to take himself off the group (again). I got mad at how he reacted and thought that was selfish of him to leave everyone because of how he felt towards me. He brought up several guy friends that I have whom he also met and hung out with (one of them was gay) and how I was "too close with them" and that he always feels jealous when they're around me. He told me he never got over me and that he can't deal with the situation and wanted to leave. I finally got tired and said that I won't stop him anymore so he can go if he wants to if our friendship along with everyone else meant nothing to him. He told me he's sorry and he plans to stay. 

At that time I was tired of always keeping myself on his terms and decided to just just stop being friends with him. Our mutual friends understood and most of them said it's alright and it's for the best. He said he's always there for me afterwards, but I just couldn't handle that drama anymore and I haven't spoken to him since. 

He's nice, kind and a fun person except for the times where he was breathing down my neck when other guys appear in my life. Though AITA for breaking off our friendship after telling him that I'd think he was a jerk for trying to do it to me and our friends?
