don't listen to suchfriends it's sexist blah.
you're both quite young, so problems will appear and you'll need to adjust and learn from them.
as for the friend, like you said, she heard the bad side, god knows what was said, she can't really believe you, as her main concern is her friend and her wellbeing and it can be very bias like that.
only time will teach her to see you in a different light, maybe you should try and keep your mind open too. im sure if you give it time everything will be alright.
