I am in a difficult situation and don't really know how to handle it?

My best friend broke up with her boyfriend a few months ago, because she doesn't love him anymore. They were together for four years. He messaged me today asking if we could meet up and talk about what is going on because he doesn't have anyone to talk too. He has suffered with depression in the past and I feel like I should meet him but obviously it is very strange because of my best friend, but I know that if I tell her I'm meeting him she will contact him and have an argument with him. I really don't know what to do? I want to be a good person and help someone, but I also don't want to hurt my friend.

She broke up with him because she's no-longer in love, yet she'd fight him just for speaking to you, someone who presumably was also part of the life they shared for four years? She doesn't sound like a person I'd like to remain good friends with. I'd start distancing myself from the situation entirely, from both of them, because it sounds like there might be some drama about suspicions about you too somewhere in the mix; just my thoughts based on the little you've shared.
