Being put in the middle

[Nyoibo]

I'm sick of being in the middle of fights between friends, recently a friend of mine did something pretty damn low to another friend, leaving me in the happy position of being stuck in the middle, now, I don't condone or agree with what friend 1 did, I'm actually pretty shocked and disappointed in her, however friend 2 after telling me she wasn't going to put me in the middle in one conversation, not 10 minutes later tells me our friendship is ended because basically I didn't side with her totally and condemn and hate friend 1, basically she was putting me in a position where I'm fucked either way I chosse, I loose a friend either way, I'm just so tired of dealing with this shit.

That probably makes little sense, but at the moment my coping mechanism to even be able to get out of bed is to just run on auto pilot, so I'm a little fuzzy.

Meh, makes perfect sense to me...

Well, I'd suggest shooting both of them

No??

Ok, how about just telling F1 what you really think of what was done, and point out that it's the sort of thing that you don't approve of your friends doing <hint hint>.

F2.. tell them to get a life! You are allowed to have your own opinions, and can make your own judgements. Hate?? Was it anything near hate-worthy?? Or just not nice? 2 different things...

Interestingly enough, before reading this, I did a thread directly relating to this subject...

If someone says or does something along the lines of "It's them or me, take your pick, you can't be friends with us both and if you don't pick me I'll never speak to you again!" That person is no friend of mine. I won't pick the other person by default, but the person who makes those comments isn't worth fighting for.

I was going to say something else about "friends" but I think I'll just start another thread about it so as not to derail this one.
