Navigating difficult scenarios
Q: I’m kind of caught in the middle of a fight between two friends. I quite like both of them, but they are constantly talking about each other behind their backs then acting as though nothing is going on when they’re with each other. They both trust me with everything and it’s slightly overwhelming. Neither of them are particularly in the right. But, then again, I’m not super close to either; it just feels awkward. Should I just let it play out? Intervene? Distance myself?
