Hmm, everyone is saying to not pick sides, but I think that will just annoy your friends even more, they will lose faith in you for not speaking up and they will get annoyed at you.

They will respect you more for being honest. What you should do, is take the points that YOU feel are the best from both arguments and explain it to them personally. It will be better coming from you because they won't have so much tension with you and they will listen, and therefore all 3 of you will be arguing less and listening more. This isn't picking one side, this is settling a dispute.

Speak up, be confident, tell them both what they are doing right and what they are doing wrong, have your say; the main point I'm making is - they are asking for your judgment, so they will listen to you, you are the one with the power to end their argument and have the final say so do it and don't coward out because it's up to you :)

I hope I made things more clear for you =]

Tell them it's their fight and you shouldn't have to get involved. And they aren't being very good friends to u either seeing as they are making you choose sides when you are sill friends with both of them.

Don't choose sides. It's as simple as that. Don't even get involved. Tell them that THEY need to work things out, and you don't want to be involved in this. Then, tell them to call you up when they're done fighting.

Tell them that you're not going to choose sides. You want to stay mutual with them. And that they should settle their own differences and not get you in it. Sit down with them and help them solve their problems with one another. But just make sure that you're not in the middle of it. Tell them that it's not fair on you because you're not the one with the problem.

Hoped I Helped & Good Luck!
