I need a unbiased opinion /adv

Well OP it seems like she kinda led you on, which isn't really a nice thing to do, and leading someone on is intentional. IMO it's more painful to be friends with your crush and knowing nothing will happen, so while you might feel sad/angry/depressed it will be better for you in long run to break up your friendship with her. That way you can get over her or something.

You did the right thing, except that you should have been more honest with her. Text her and explain that you have feelings for her and that you can't just he friends with her anymore, and since she has a boyfriend, you don't see how you guys can keep talking. Tell her to hit you up if she's ever single. She may have just been looking for someone to give her attention because her boyfriend probably doesn't give her much, but you're not an attention bitch.

No you did the right thing.

You're not an asshole, this scenario happening is the very reason girls do the whole "btw my boyfriend also thinks..." that gets so much hate on here. Regardless of not mentioning it for so long to begin with, she should've realized (and probably did) that hogging you so much made it seem like you were moving towards dating.
However, yeah she's not going to be happy because she lost her go to guy and from her point of view, there was no issue hanging out platonically until you found out that she had a boyfriend and then you suddenly got butthurt. Or well, that will be her point of view if she's not very self-critical. So don't be surprised if you're not her favorite person in the future. Know you are not in the wrong.

No you aren't an asshole she is. Starting a new friendship she should have told you as the two of you chatted and got to know each other.

All opinions are biased. The way you broke off the friendship is pretty dickish, but you gotta look out for you. Try having a conversation with her instead of doing the "nothing's wrong" garbage bullshit that never works or fixes anything.
