Whoo there was a lot more to the story.
I have seen this happen before. We like to pretend that rp romance doesn't ruin real relationships and, while it happens less often then people would think, it happens more often than rpers want to admit to. I have some pretty gnarly stories of people from my own FC.
You and your girlfriend were dealing with some pretty hefty issues, compound that with the fact this RPing in an MMO stuff was new to both of you and I can see where you thought something was there that probably wasn't.
It's possible, because you were so miserable yourself, while nothing was going on between the two, the attention and support she was getting from that friend and the fake relationship they had was really nice to her. It's easy to forget your problems when you have lovey dovey kissy face rp to help you. I've seen A LOT of rpers use it as a crutch for their own issues.
However, it's a shame you couldn't trust her, here. If she hadn't done anything previously to harm the relationship there was no reason not to. After 6 years, she should have had that.
I'm going to give you the same advice I did previously. If you two want to make it work - communicate communicate communicate. I know talking about feelings isn't easy, but it's necessary. Feeling neglected? Say so. Feeling Jealous? Say so. Need reassurance? Say so. In those moments where we feel weakest is when we need to put away pride and actually talk about how we feel. It's not irrational to do so. It's not weakness.
I really hope you two can work this out. I wish you luck.
Also,
HAMMER DOWN.
