Question

How do you "take sides" after two of your best friends break up?

Answer 1

Well, I was once in a similar situation but i think the best way to handle it is to let them battle it out and if they get mad at you for not choosing a side, you have to explain that you want to be both of their friends (if that's true) and if they don't like it, that's their problem not yours

hope i helped

Answer 2

You don't.  There are 3 sides to every story and it is not up to you to choose which one is correct if you are not part of the situation.  As a True friend you don't pick sides.

Answer 3

dont take any side.  

Answer 4

Go with the one you have know the best....and the Longest time.

Answer 5

listen to both sides, and help out. make misunderstandings understandings. i try when that happens with my friends.=]

Answer 6

Both sides. :D

Answer 7

Don't take either's side, unless you want to lose a friend.  Stay out of their break up.  You can listen to them gripe about the other, but don't comment and don't tell one side what the other side said or did.

If either asks you to take sides, spy, or ask what the other one is doing, don't go there.  Say you're on both of their sides.  You love both of them too much to lose either as a friend.

It's a sticky situation, but it can be done.  Otherwise, pick the friend you like best and be done with the other one.

Answer 8

Don't take sides. Try to get them back together. Do WHATEVER IT TAKES. It doesn't matter who's right or wrong. Just make the two of them understand each other's sides of how and why they got mad at each other. Good luck!

Answer 9

I stay out if it.
