I was dumped my a very close, longtime friend (20-year-friendship) because she felt like I was defending my other friends and not supporting her in this particular situation. But she was saying some things that I know weren't true so I spoke up. And I got dumped via form e-mail. WTF? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-friends-argue#post-1261403 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 10:24:19 +0000 Rubies 1261403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only time I picked sides is when one of my bridesmaids left her husband (who was also a friend of ours). DH and I sided with the husband and my friendship with the girl ended immediately (she actually ended our friendship before I found out she had left her husband). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-friends-argue#post-1261330 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 10:13:26 +0000 autumnlove 1261330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Ya!

I would lose a lot of respect for somone who wanted me to do that. Children shouldn't suffer because adults can't act like adults. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-friends-argue#post-1261285 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 10:07:38 +0000 autumnlove 1261285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: my friend who is upset is such a B to the other friend....bashes her parenting choices all the time to her face. Everyone tells her to chill! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-friends-argue#post-1261206 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:53:52 +0000 mrsjyw 1261206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>at my age? my friends have the respect to leave me out of it. thankfully. so much so that even when their friendship has gone kaput, they don't put me in the middle. sad that they're not friends anymore, but happy that i'm not kept in the middle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-friends-argue#post-1261200 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:53:01 +0000 .twist. 1261200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will stay out of it if possible, although if one of my friends did something shitty to another friend I would probably admit that it was shitty. But I wouldn't boycott. </p> <p>I was just in this situation with two of my friends. One of my friends did something really shitty to me. Our mutual friend was trying really hard to stay out of it. But she still wanted to be there for us. I think you can be honest about a situation without bashing your mutual friend. Ya know? Our mutual friend eventually agreed that my friends actions were unkind, but left it at that. They are still friends but it was nice to know I wasn't crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-friends-argue#post-1261183 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:50:26 +0000 nana87 1261183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we generally stay neutral! there was a big schism in our group of friends a couple years ago and dh and I have just stayed friends with everyone involved separately </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-friends-argue#post-1261166 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:47:31 +0000 prettylizy 1261166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I'm Switzerland!

If I think one friend did something shitty to another friend I would tell them both that is my opinion. However I wouldn't like… punish the friend for her actions. But I don't ever really do that. If you piss me off I'm likely to tell you I think x sucked. But then we can just move on. I wouldn't get caught up in boycotting anything. </p> <p>Also if I could see both sides of the situation and thought neither was really wrong I would just tell them I see both sides and I'm not getting involved. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-your-friends-argue#post-1258612 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 10:37:29 +0000 autumnlove 1258612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you take sides? I'm always neutral and I don't like getting involved. My friend is upset because I am not "boycotting" our other friend's daughter's party this weekend. </p>
