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.

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.
