AITA for cutting off my friends because of my Bf?

I(22f) am a Christian and in a relationship with a C(21m). We have been dating for over a year now, and until recently, my friendship with close friends hasn’t been much of an issue. I have three catholic friends, 2 female and one male. I’ll call them X, Y, and Z. Z(23m) has been dating Y(22f) for 9 years now and I’ve always had a brotherly relationship with him. We send each other reels and play video games together on occasion but we never meet up in person 1-1. His girlfriend Y has never had a problem with our relationship because she knows it’s strictly platonic. However, my bf did not like it and asked me to end it because he didn’t trust him and didn’t want to get to know him. My bf also said that he would do the same for me if I didnt trust someone he knew, so he didn’t understand why I was fighting so hard for our friendship. I was mad and upset for a long time, but after getting tired of arguing I decided to bite my tongue and end the friendship, which I didn’t agree I needed to do but I was trying to respect my boyfriend and his feelings. The next day, X and Y(X is my childhood girl best friend and Y is Z’s girlfriend) said they were disappointed in me for ending Z’s friendship and said that my bf C was being insecure. Long story short, emotions were raised and arguments were said and i eventually cut off X completely because of what she was saying. The next few days I couldn’t stop crying or getting upset thinking about the whole situation and now it’s come to a point where Z(the male friend) wants to meet up with me to talk about what happened. My bf C is not okay with this one on one meet up, and its making me upset because this whole thing is mainly his fault. I reached out already and apologized to them profusely after I spoke to my family and they all agreed with me that I should’ve have been forced to do that but everything is ruined now. I was trying to respect my bf but that seems to be the wrong answer. Is it disrespectful to ignore his feelings and try to fix my friendships?
