Two of my best friends have split up.

I'm feeling very sad. Two of my best friends have split up.

I was friends with them both before they were a couple and essentially I was the catalyst to their introduction to each other.

Now they are spilt it's hard because I do not want to be seen as taking sides in any way.

I've spoken at length with one on the phone today and will see the other one tomorrow.

I feel sad for them, even though deep down I'm not surprised and actually feel it might be the right thing. But also I feel really conflicted about my friendships with them both now.

Stay out of it

@SW-User How so?

@SW-User that one will ask something about the other etc. I just need to be independent from the start.

Then don’t get too involved. Be clear that you are not going to pick sides. If they’re worth keeping they should not turn on you.You have the right to tell them how this whole thing is affecting you negatively. If they care about your feelings they should avoid dragging you into this whole drama.

You have as much right to your feelings as anyone else has to theirs. I'd be tempted to tell both of them you fully intend to stay out of it and keep both of them as friends.

And it might not hurt to warn them that if either one of them tries to make the other person an issue that you have to deal with they're the one most likely to be left behind.

Avoid taking sides and if one of them pushes it, the other is probably the more moral one

Tricky ace for you to be in. Don't be any sort of go between. Listen to each of them without passing on info...its feckin hard i know...especially if its clear to you one of them has misunderstood the other in some way....(and actually if only theyd talk honestly things wouldnt seem so bad!)
Its a thankless place to be....been there...horrible x
