Being stuck in between two friends who dated and broke up
Should I take a side or should I not take a side?
Should I leave the one who's more at fault? Or should I stay?
I have a really small circle of friends. It consists of just 7 people mainly. But among them some conflicts occurred. I didn't play role in their relationships but I'm still stuck in between because I'm still friends with all of them.
I thought at first that I should still remain friends because both parties were somewhat at fault. But as days go on, I feel more guilty. Suppose, Alex and Mary are in a relationship. Whilst both of them have mistakes, Alex hurt Mary more. He doesn't accept his fault no matter what. Mary is my old friend, I'm closer to her. So obviously it makes me very angry at Alex for what he did.
But I'm not allowed to say anything to any of them. Because they're secrets. So should I continue the friendships normally? Or break off with Alex?

Hello, I’m sorry, this is a tough situation when you’re stuck in the middle of the aftermath of a breakup. In this instance I think you should do what feels the most right to you. It is not your fault that you are in the middle of this. Additionally, if you feel like one of the friends wronged someone more than the other, you can still be friends with them, just less close if that’s easier for you. Also usually with time people heal more so it may be easier to remain close with both them as time goes on as well. In the end, whatever makes you most happy.
Best of luck here, take care!
