How to stop a fight between my two best friends?


Question Posted Tuesday June 19 2012, 12:42 pm

Okay, so the other day my two best friends got into a fight and they haven't talked since. My other friend and I have something to do, and the other one is inviting me to do something, and I know that if I choose a side, I'll end up losing one of the two, and honestly, I just want them to get over it, and we could be okay again. Any help on this?

I agree with the person below me. It's not fair to you that you can't be friends with both of them. It's their fight that they need to deal with and it shouldn't involve you.
You need to talk to both of them and explain that you are still going to hang out with the other one because this is their fight and you're not going to take sides.
If one gets mad, let them deal with it. This is their fight, remember that. Tell them that you don't want to lose them because of this and that you're not getting in the middle.

Hey there,
This is always a difficult situation. It's never nice being stuck in the middle.
You need to explain to both of them (if they agree to sit down together) If not individually. And tell them that you will not take sides.
Explain how that would be completely unfair of them to expect you to do that. Tell them you love them both equally and value their friendship. Explain how you are not just going to stop seeing one over the other. Express your concern over their falling out and hopefully they can sort it out so you can all get back to hanging out together.
I'm sure they will get over it eventually. Until then make it clear you want them BOTH as friends and see them separately or if they can't handle that not at all. Until they sort it out.
Also make it clear that you will not tolerate either of them bitching about the other in your presence as you wan't to remain impartial and stay out of it.
If they keep being pissy about it just distance yourself from them until they learn to grow up. You don't need other peoples drama in your life.
Good luck and much <3
